Hello,
in the config of a tool I want to integrate into Galaxy I would like to have a parameter with the following properties:
<param name="var" type="integer" label="Var" value="50" optional="true" min="10" max="100" />
So it should be possible to leave this field empty, but when you choose to enter a number it should be between 10 and 100. The problem now is that Galaxy refuses to accept it when this field is empty.
Which version of Galaxy are you running? Optional float and integer parameters was only recently made possible under issue 403 with an initial fix committed two weeks ago, https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/403 https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/changeset/adcc600effa4
After encountering this problem I tried to solve the issue within Cheetah and tried the following:
#if $var.value < 10 or $var.value > 100 #set $var.value = "" #end if
You'd need to try something like this: #if int($var.value) < 10 or int($var.value) > 100 #set $var.value = "" #end if but you also have to first exclude the case where is is already empty as then int would fail. Peter
