Hi Greg,

I have a few additional comments and questions though:
1/ In the universe_wsgi.ini file, maybe the tool_config_file parameter could be renamed to tool_config_files (plural) to indicate that it takes a list of files.

2/ It seems like the Tools Search box cannot find newly installed tools. However, after I restart Galaxy, it works as intended again.

3/ In the Grinder wrapper, I relied on installing the wrapper under a specific folder: ./tools/ngs simulation/grinder. The new wrapper installation procedure installs the tools in the ../shed_tools/ folder and the admins can choose under what category the tool is to be placed. This means that my Grinder wrapper fails since it does not know where to find the scripts it needs. Is there a way to get the directory where a tool is installed? Here is an excerpt of the Grinder wrapper so you can better understand what I am trying to do. This wrapper first runs Grinder and then moves its files (the number of files is hard to determine ahead of time) to a place where Galaxy will find them (see the wiki page http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Multiple%20Output%20Files under section "Number of Output datasets cannot be determined until tool run").

Thanks,

Florent

Hello Florent,

Sorry for the confusion on this - we are preparing a new Galaxy distribution, and the tool shed wiki has been written in preparation for it.  The new distribution will be available fairly soon, and the Galaxy News Brief will include information about these new tool shed features.  In any case, you have already discovered that you can use in if you update your Galaxy instance to the latest Galaxy development repository ( Galaxy central ).

The problem you see is most likely caused by your not having configured an additional tool_config_file setting in your universe_wsgi.ini.  Look for something like following in your latest version of the universe_wsgi.ini.sample that you got when you updated from Galaxy central.

# Locally installed tools and tools installed from tool sheds

tool_config_file = tool_conf.xml,shed_tool_conf.xml

If you add a new additional file name like shed_tool_conf.xml, you should not have a problem installing from a tool shed.  I'll have a fix for the bug you've discovered shortly, but making this change will fix the behavior until then.

Let me know if you bump into any additional problems.

Thanks for finding this!

Hi all,

I tried the latest stable version of Galaxy: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/News%20Briefs/2011_08_30. This page has links to how to use the new tool shed including how to automatically deploy tools from the shed in a local Galaxy server.

The documentation mentioned some tool shed options available from the the admin section of Galaxy but I could not locate these options in my instance of galaxy. So my question is: Can one only take advantage of the tool deployment from the shed in the development version of Galaxy? If so, I think the Tool shed wiki should be more clear about this.

Then I tried the latest development version of Galaxy and could locate the tool shed deployment options. I attempted to install the Grinder wrapper (http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/manage_repository?sort=name&webapp=community&id=3d8312720a69a558&f-deleted=False&show_item_checkboxes=false&async=false&operation=view_or_manage_repository&f-free-text-search=grinder&page=1<http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repository/manage_repository?sort=name&webapp=community&id=3d8312720a69a558&f-deleted=False&show_item_checkboxes=false&async=false&operation=view_or_manage_repository&f-free-text-search=grinder&page=1>) but ran into an error that I am pasting below:

I get the same problem with other wrappers such as FastQC. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Florent
