In the spirit of this solution, I've implemented something similar in -central changeset:

https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/c7a07f350887fe3b4e822ba6b26b63ac3ac14bdf

The tool now creates temporary files in its working directory, which can be configured via the 'job_working_directory' setting; you might choose to set this to the same value as 'new_file_path' for simplicity.

Best,
J.

Hej Matt!

This has been bugging me as well since we are running galaxy locally with a server that has a very restricted space for the /tmp directory. Here are the change I made to the sam-to-bam tools to have him writing to new_file_path rather than $TMP.

First in the xml file (1.1.2 is the original version of the file in the June 2013 release)

delhomme:samtools$ diff sam_to_bam.xml sam_to_bam.xml_1.1.2

1c1
< <tool id="sam_to_bam" name="SAM-to-BAM" version="1.1.3">
---
<tool id="sam_to_bam" name="SAM-to-BAM" version="1.1.2">
8d7
<       --temp=$__app__.config.new_file_path

And in the python file:

delhomme:samtools$ diff sam_to_bam.py sam_to_bam.py_1.1.2

5d4
<    --temp: hidden option to set the tmp directory
39d37
<     parser.add_option( '', '--temp', dest='temp', help='The temporary directory to use for writing tmp files' )
61d58
<             os.remove( tmp )
63d59
<             os.remove( tmp )
74c70
<     tmp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp( dir=options.temp )
---
   tmp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()


For the galaxy developers - I don't know if there's a way in the galaxy API to do this more easily. If there's I'd love to hear about it. If not it would be a great addition.

Cheers,

Nico

Is there a reason that the samtools BAM to SAM does not respect the new_file_path set in the config file? The tmp directory handling by different tool wrappers seems to be an issue right now on systems with small system tmp directories.
