I am with Peter that the best thing to do is probably to specify "true" or "false". We just had a similar report from Bjoern though - the thinking being that this was probably allowed in the past (using the truevalue/falsevalue) but Galaxy lost that functionality - https://trello.com/c/iGk3f1pE.

Hello
I'm currently writing tests for a tool and think I've found a situation where the behaviour of the boolean parameter type does not seem correct within the test environment.
The tool defines the following boolean parameter:
<param name="spmr" type="boolean" truevalue="--SPMR" falsevalue="" checked="False" ... />
and accesses its value in the <command> tag using:
-B $spmr
i.e. if the boolean is true then this should output "-B --SPMR", if not then it should output "-B ".
This appears to work as expected when the tool is installed and used interactively. But when running the tests the 'falsevalue' is always returned, even if the value is set to the 'truevalue' in the tests i.e.:
<param name="spmr" value="--SPMR" />
and
<param name="spmr" value="" />
both return "-B ".
I think you may need to set the value to true/false here, e.g.
https://github.com/peterjc/pico_galaxy/blob/master/tools/samtools_bam2fq/sam...
(It would be clearer if the test framework insisted on this, but it may be allowing the truevalue or falsevalue to be used - at least when they don't start with a minus sign?)
