So the PR that broke your tools is probably here https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/3364/files. That pull request removed Galaxy from the Python path of Galaxy tools - this gives tools a much cleaner environment and prevents certain conflicts between Conda and Galaxy.

As part of that PR, there is a list of Galaxy tools in lib/galaxy/tools/__init__.py that still get setup with Galaxy's Python environment. This includes many random devteam and even an IUC tool - I've added something to the list even though one ancient version of tool shed tool required it years ago and it has since been updated. I would open a PR to add the tool id of any of your tools that have been published to the tool shed and require these tools to this list. You can target it against 17.01 ideally and then we can merge that into dev.

This behavior can be reverted - there is a config option that is documented pretty well in the PR but I missed named it in the sample (fixing it with https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/3521/files).

Hopefully this helps and thanks for the bug report!

Thanks Nicola,

I didn't spot the missing slash, but planemo lint did - for anyone
else copy-and-pasting:

<requirement type="package" version="1.0.1">galaxy_sequence_utils</requirement>

For anyone not yet using BioConda with Galaxy, there is also a Tool
Shed entry here:

https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/iuc/package_galaxy_sequence_utils_1_0_1/

I am therefore adding this to my tool_dependencies.xml files:

    <package name="galaxy_sequence_utils" version="1.0.1">
        <repository name="package_galaxy_sequence_utils_1_0_1" owner="iuc" />
    </package>

I still need to work out how best to make this available under TravisCI,
given I am not currently using BioConda for the dependencies.

@IUC: Should this also be released on PyPI for easy install via pip?

Peter
