Hi Sumedha,  

I got this error when i execute the Refresh tool 

An error occurred running this job: python: can't open file '/home/minh/galaxy_dist/tools/mystuff/refreshTool.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Look like its missing refreshtool.py or Am I doing something wrong? Where to do place that refreshTool.xml?

Thank you,

Hello,

We here at the Universoty of Georgia have developed a suite of tools
to enable accessing
Web services through Galaxy's interface, one time and also in
workflows. We do this by reading
the descriptions of the Web services (from WSDLs and WADLs) and adding
tools dynamically to
Galaxy that are able to take correct inputs from the user and invoke
these services.

Though most of this functionality was added by adding tools, we had to
make minimal change in Galaxy's
source code to support the capability of refreshing Galaxy toolbox
without restarting the server.
This is hardly 5 lines of code that was added to Galaxy's code base.
These tools will be available shortly
on the community page. I was wondering if it will be possible to add
the support for dynamic tool addition
to the main instance of Galaxy. Please find the details below:


Changes to Galaxy to add refresh toolbox ability:
1. change the execute method of the class tool in
lib/galaxy/tools/__init__.py to

def execute( self, trans, incoming={}, set_output_hid=True ):
       """
       Execute the tool using parameter values in `incoming`. This just
       dispatches to the `ToolAction` instance specified by
       `self.tool_action`. In general this will create a `Job` that
       when run will build the tool's outputs, e.g. `DefaultToolAction`.
       """

       #############
       #add code to verify if user has administrative privileges
       #added by sumedha ganjoo, sganjoo@uga.edu: line 1104 to 1109 -
to refresh toolbox
       if self.id == 'REFRESH_ID':
           self.app.refreshToolBox()
       #############

       return self.tool_action.execute( self, trans,
incoming=incoming, set_output_hid=set_output_hid )

2. add refreshToolBox method (find below) to UniverseApplication class
in lib/galaxy/app.py

   ###########
   # added by sumedha ganjoo,sganjoo@uga.edu, line 86-90
   def refreshToolBox( self):
       self.toolbox = tools.ToolBox( self.config.tool_config,
self.config.tool_path, self )
   ###########


3. Add Refresh tool. Attached.

Thanks,
Sumedha
