Additionally, it is not recommended to run functional tests on a production instance, since the test suite alters a number of configuration settings on the fly, with the result being that it is not a reliable test of the exact production environment, which may give misleading results.
Hang on - is that a short term warning? We *want* to run the functional tests on our production Galaxy precisely to check the tools are installed and working there.
How are you doing this currently? I can understand running the tests in your production Galaxy environment, but they should always be run with a separate database and files directory.
