Hi Davids,

For some a somewhat more complex example, have a look at the GenomeSpace importer tools under tools/genomespace in the distribution. They always create at least 1 dataset, but can create any number of files, of any type of datatype. In this tool, it will use the filetype declared by GenomeSpace, or it will fall back to using Galaxy’s sniffing functions of it doesn’t know the datatypes.

This makes use of the ‘galaxy.json’ file —> json_params['job_config']['TOOL_PROVIDED_JOB_METADATA_FILE']


Thanks,

Dan

I had my own use case for this a few weeks ago and I couldn't figure
out anyway to configure this right now - I was hoping Dan might
respond to your question with some crazy trick though. For now I have
created a Trello card for the implementation of this feature - please
vote for it:

Hello,

I've looked through the documentation about tools that produce multiple
output files, but it seems like you're required to know the data types ahead
of time (or make assumptions based on input data). But what about a case
where you don't know what the output datatypes will be? Is it just possible
to have N output files imported and sniffed?

Thanks,
Davids
