I have a similar problem. I used this tag

<param format="fasta" name="seq" type="file" label="Fasta file"/>

in the hope galaxy would pass the filename directly to the tools command line:

$tool --inputfile=$seq

But it seems that Galaxy tries to reads the file and pass the content to the command line or so. My workaround is to use textbox instead:

<param name="seq" type="text" label="Input" area="true" size="2x200" help="Full path to input FastX file. i.e. /home/user.name/mydata/foo.faq"/>

Hi,

I encountered some difficulties to upload a file using tool interface. This returns the following error, see [1] .Upload a file using "Get data > Upload file" is not a problem.

Xml tag used for tool definition : <param format="fasta" name="seq" type="file" label="Fasta file"/>

Python version 2.6.5 (r265:79063)

Do you know how this error can be solved?
Sincerely,

Seb
