Hi all, While testing a BLAST search using plain text output (the 'txt' datatype in Galaxy) or subclasses (like 'blastxml') using galaxy-dist with task splitting enabled, I found I new bug when the files are merged: Error merging files global name 'shutil' is not defined This is a side effect of this commit due to a missing import (perhaps the imports changed since Bjoern wrote the patch): https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/510b063792de89332428ed12... In addition to the missing import in data.py, there is a potential similar issue with binary.py but this is masked by an evil import * line ;) My suggested patch for the import issue below, however right now even though the merge is failing, Galaxy failed to treat the job as a failure - it was shown as a green successful job with "Error merging files" as stdout, and for stderr: "global name 'shutil' is not defined", but return code 0. So there is a deeper problem with the merge error not marking the job as failed. Also there is a minor bug in that the stdout and stderr are combined for the peep text without any white space - presumably most of the time the stdout will have a trailing new line, but not here - thus "filesglobal" [sic], not say "files global" or a newline. There's a second patch below for that minor issue too (although it seems my new lines get turned into spaces by the time they are shown in the history peep text).
