Hi,
I have investigated the testing possibilities within a Galaxy local instance and within a toolshed. I met some difficulties and I have 4 questions listed below.
1- Tests on tools installed in a local Galaxy instance (with run_tests.sh) : It seems that it is only possible to test the tools that have been manually installed (run_test.sh -id ...), not the tools that have been installed through a toolshed. Is that true ? When I try to launch the tests of a toolshed installed tool, I have the following error message :
#########

ERROR ====================================================================== ERROR: Failure: ValueError (No such test TestForTool_sartools_edger) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/projet/htdocs/galaxy-dev/galaxy-dist/eggs/nose-0.11.1-py2.7.egg/nose/failure.py", line 39, in runTest raise self.exc_class(self.exc_val) ValueError: No such test TestForTool_sartools_edger
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 1 test in 0.002s FAILED (errors=1)
./run_tests.sh -installed runs the tests of all installed tool shed tools. It might be possible to combine that with -id - for a specific tool but I am not sure. It may be possible to construct that test even if -id doesn't work - but it is probably pretty hacky. Let me know if -installed works for you but not when combined with -id and we can work out the details.

2- Tests on tools installed in a local Galaxy instance (with run_tests.sh) : Is it possible to test tools which have repository or tool dependencies ? I have a tool (manually installed in galaxy-dist/tools/) with a dependence to a datatype installed from a toolshed. The datatype (no_unzip.zip) is defined in the <param> input tag (in <test>) with attribute "ftype". When running run_tests.sh, it seems that the dataype is not known :

It is possible it is the case that tool shed datatypes are not loaded unless running with the -installed flag. I would either setup the tests to run locally (manually add datatypes and tools) or run installed tools with -installed.
3- Toolshed Install and Test framework ( install_and_test_tool_shed_repositories.sh) : For my tool, the test fails if I don't explicitely defined the dbkey attribute to "unknown" (dbkey="?") in the <param> input tag (in <test>). The default dbkey value seems to be "hg17" (whereas hg17 is not defined on the server running my toolshed). So I have the following error message if I don't add dbkey="?" in <test> :

Well that is frustrating. I am not aware of the internals of that script or why that is happening - but my personal recommendation would be not to use the install and test framework at this point - it seems rather un-maintained. I recently added a subcommnd to planemo called shed_test (http://planemo.readthedocs.org/en/master/commands.html#shed-test-command) - that will install and test a tool shed repository. It probably requires modifying your tool shed development process to use planemo (http://planemo.readthedocs.org/en/latest/publishing.html#shed).
4- Is it possible to launch the tests against an external server ? That would be very useful to be able run the tests on a production Galaxy instance in order to test the tools in real condition, within the whole environment.
This would be great - but as I understand it - it is not possible at this time. The test framework needs local access to some aspects of the Galaxy app. Last year I outlined a Trello card to add this option back to Galaxy (https://trello.com/c/8K86l4Qk) - it was available years ago.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
