Hey Greg,

I got it to work by filling the field names with their default names, but I thought you could fill out the entire sample forms, including the field names, with the csv file.  For example:

Sample1,Library1,Lib1Folder1,History,Workflow,1_field_name

The above works when imported, filling out the sample name, library, folder, history, and workflow fields but leaving 1_field_name (barcode field in this case) empty.  

We wish this next example to work,which I currently get the '1_field_name' error:

Sample1,Library1,Lib1Folder1,History,Workflow,agctac

Currently we have clients fill out a spreadsheet for the samples they intend to submit, since many submit multiple samples and most of the time have the same parameters for all of them.  We wish to convert their completed spreadsheet into a csv file and then import it into galaxy so they dont' have to fill out all the fields repetitively.

Hello Joe,

Sorry you've bumped into problems - we know we're lacking on documentation for the sample tracking stuff currently.   I believe this new issue is due to a field named differently in your Sample FormDefinition vs your csf file.  In looking at this, I found a slightly incorrect description of the csv file layout on our Add Samples page, which I've corrected.

In the Sample FormDefinition, the default name for a field is 1_field_name, 2_field_name, etc.  Below is a screen capture that show this.  However, the csv file you sent me previously includes the following:

SampleName1,library1,library1_folder1,history1,workflow1,sampleType1,conc,runType,readLength

The csv layout is as follows ( I've correct the incorrect FieldValue1, etc to be Field1Name, etc.

The csv file must be in the following format:
SampleName,DataLibraryName,DataLibraryFolderName,HistoryName,WorkflowName,Field1Name,Field2name..

The Field1Name, Field2Name values in your csv file must match the value in the Field name form field in the screen shot below.

After making this change, let me know if you bump into any other problems.

Thanks for you patience on this,

Greg

Joe,

Thanks very much for the example csv file.  I've fixed this issue in change set 5668:81a5c317d909, which should be available in the distribution within the next few weeks.  If you don't want to wait, you can update from our development repo at https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Home.

Hello Joe,

Can you send me your csv file?

Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has experience successfully importing sample information through a csv file.

I know there is an issue already created for csv file import, which I left a comment earlier:


but my bug doesn't seem to deal with an 'Invalid Request ID' as the issue above states.

This is the error I get:
