corrrect: /client is a directory within Galaxy root - it contains all the javascripts

The build (grunt) process takes the /client directory and copies the scripts to /static/scripts directory within Galaxy root (and packs them and stuff) from where the files are served to the browser.

If you want to make JS changes, make them in /client and propagate it via grunt.

Make sure you have up to date version of Galaxy since the grunt building was added fairly recently.

note: /scripts directory within Galaxy root has a different purpose, those are python scripts (API and stuff)

Aysam and Martin,

Thanks for your help. I am not familiar with JS development.

To make "client" crystal clear :

/client stands for the home directory where Galaxy-dist is installed ?

and client/galaxy/scripts/mvc/upload stands for ~/galaxy-dist/scripts/mvc/upload (assuming that the galaxy code is installed in galaxy-dis) ?

right ?

Hi Christophe,

In order to apply the changes scripts have to be packed properly. Please follow these steps:

1. Go to the client/ directory and type 'npm install'

2. Now type 'grunt watch'. This will start a listener which captures code changes and repacks scripts automatically

3. Finally, make your changes to the code files in client/galaxy/scripts/mvc/upload and reload your browser

Let me know if that works for you or if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi,

As we have arranged an sftp upload system through ftp port for our Galaxy instance, we would need to customize the Upload File tool form, so that a few more line explain how-to-do in the FTP section of the form, in addition to the "This Galaxy server allows you to upload files via FTP. To upload some files, log in to the FTP server at 127.0.0.1 using your Galaxy credentials (email address and password)."

I dug into

/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/static/scripts/mvc/upload/upload-ftp.js

and 

/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/static/scripts/packed/mvc/upload/upload-ftp.js

but the changes I tried into these files do not show up in the tool form.

If someone can indicate the right way to intercept this content and enrich it as mentioned above,  I would be grateful !

Cheers

Chris
