Hello, I followed the instructions below to manually install the blast_datatypes:
Manual Installation ===================
Normally you would install this via the Galaxy ToolShed, which would move the provided blast.py file into a suitable location and process the datatypes_conf.xml entry to be combined with your local configuration.
However, if you really want to this should work for a manual install. Add the following line to the datatypes_conf.xml file in the Galaxy main folder:
<datatype extension="blastxml" type="galaxy.datatypes.blast:BlastXml" mimetype="application/xml" display_in_upload="true"/>
Also create the file lib/galaxy/datatypes/blast.py by moving, copying or linking the blast.py file provided in this tar-ball. Finally add 'import blast' near the start of file lib/galaxy/datatypes/registry.py (after the other import lines).
=========================
I restarted my local Galaxy instance but still get this error.
WARNING:galaxy.datatypes.registry:Error appending sniffer for datatype 'galaxy.datatypes.xml:BlastXml' to sniff_order: 'module' object has no attribute 'BlastXml'
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Liisa
