I am testing galaxy for wide use, and I have legacy text files that call algorithms, sorts, and displays. One such has a tool.xml file with 10 parameters, one select, three integer, and one float, with the rest text for the moment. (some will be type="data" later if the runs equate to the runs we do outside galaxy)
The tool does not show up. Firefox, emacs and vim all agree that it is well-formed, and galaxy has been properly bounced. I experimented with removing parameters and found with 7 parameters, I did not have the problem, then I noticed that all of them had been changed to text or select in my desperation to make it show up for placement on the workflow. I returned to 10 parameters, but this time all type="select" and type="text", and everything worked. But slipping even one integer, even with the (optional) min max and default tags, and the tool would disappear on restart.
Am I looking at a bug, or is there something I need to be doing to make this tool visible with numeric parameters?
