Andrew,
Thanks for investigating this. I changed the subject and sent to the galaxy dev list.
I've had a number of tools quit working recently. Particularly tools that inspect the extra_files_path when setting metadata, Defuse, Rsem, SnpEff.
I think there was a change in the galaxy framework: The extra_files_path when referenced from an input or output in the cheetah template sections of the tool config xml will be relative to the job working directly rather than the files location.
I've just changed a few of my tools on my server yesterday from: <param_name>.extra_files_path to: <param_name>.dataset.extra_files_path and they now work again.
Dan or John, is that the right way to handle this?
Thanks,
JJ

Hi Jim. I am probably going about this the wrong way, but I am not clear on how to report tool errors (if in fact this is a tool error!)
I've been trialling your snpeff wrapper from the test toolshed and getting a consistent error with the SnpEff Download and SnpEff sub tools (the SnpSift dbNSFP works fine). The problem seems to be with an attribute declaration and manifests during database download as:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/mnt/galaxy/galaxy-app/lib/galaxy/jobs/runners/__init__.py", line 564, in finish_job job_state.job_wrapper.finish( stdout, stderr, exit_code ) File "/mnt/galaxy/galaxy-app/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 1107, in finish dataset.datatype.set_meta( dataset, overwrite=False ) # call datatype.set_meta directly for the initial set_meta call during dataset creation File "/mnt/galaxy/shed_tools/testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/snpeff/1938721334b3/snpeff/lib/galaxy/datatypes/snpeff.py", line 21, in set_meta data_dir = dataset.files_path AttributeError: 'HistoryDatasetAssociation' object has no attribute 'files_path'
We fiddled around with the wrapper, eventually replacing 'dataset.files_path' with 'dataset.extra_files_path' in snpeff.py, which fixed the download bug, but then SnpEff subtool itself threw a similar error when I tried to use that database from the history.
I chased up a bit more but cannot understand the various posts on files_path vs extra_files_path
I've shared a history with both of these errors here: http://130.56.251.62/galaxy/u/alonie/h/unnamed-history
Maybe this is a problem with our Galaxy image?
Any help appreciated!
