Peter, The most likely cause of this is that there is an issue with some preceding repositories that hang on installation, causing the build process to time out and not test later repositories in the list. I am in the process of working out a solution for that situation. --Dave B. On 5/21/13 06:26:56.000, Peter Cock wrote:

Hi Dave,
This continues - although I have been making progress with the tests for some of my tools. Currently there are a number of repositories reported as failing but I can't see the error (and so can't do much about fixing it):
http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/blastxml_to_top_descr
http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/clinod
http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/get_orfs_or_cdss
http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/seq_primer_clip
http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/ncbi_blast_plus When previously visible this was due to a test framework limitation testing with composite output files: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2013-April/014365.html
Given I suspect a cache issue hiding the test failures, it might help if rather than the current text like "Time tested: ~ 8 hours ago" this could also state the date and time of the test (in UTC/GMT to avoid locale confusion).
Thanks,
Peter
