Let me echo Sascha. I've been thinking about this problem.  I suggest that we need an "Error Document" dataset type that contains two kinds information:
1. which will help the end user correct the problem  (E.g. Please be sure to use MAF files not BAM files etc).
2. which will help tool developers collect  a bunch of log files..  

Error Documents could be aggregated (especially useful in a cluster computation). 

Then the report a bug button would aggregate the log file document and send it to the tool developer.
Before sending, the end user would be able to see the contents  and be sure that they were not posting confidential information offsite.

Thanks
Ted

Hey devs!

 

It seems that many things related to history datasets has changed since I have updated my local Galaxy instance and
the current version.

 

Unfortunately it seems that one cannot "Display data in browser" (eye icon) if the dataset is in error state. Where can I
get that feature back? Some of my tools write logging information to a separate logfile which will be in error state if
the tool fails but contain useful information.

 

Thanks,

 

Sascha
