Hi Peter,
thanks a lot for your comments.
Hi Bodo, No problem :)
I think it is more comfortable to be able to upload tools and xml via the webbrowser than to open a terminal and copy them, that was the idea behind my work. Especially for our institute this is very useful.
For me the command vs the web interface is not important. What I was excited about was adding a tool to Galaxy without having to restart Galaxy and interrupt any users.
You're right about the check_argument methods. I wasn't sure to add this kind of functionality in the first place, because it can become very tricky. What I did should just be the very first step for someone who wants to continue the work (if this makes sense). That's why I added a checkbox that disable this check, so that you still can upload your tool/xml even the argument test would fail.
It might be useful then.
Do you have some comments about the other parts ? Is this something you would be interested in using ?
I've not had a chance to try the code yet, but it could be useful. Peter
