Hi Dave, Greg, Based on my tool's overnight test results from the Test Tool Shed, something seems to have been broken to do with sniffing datatypes on upload. e.g. using blastxml format, http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/blastxml_to_top_descr Tool test results Automated test environment Tests that failed Tool id: blastxml_to_top_descr Tool version: blastxml_to_top_descr Test: test_tool_000000 (functional.test_toolbox.TestForTool_testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/peterjc/blastxml_to_top_descr/blastxml_to_top_descr/0.0.9) Stderr: Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/opt/buildslaves/buildslave-ec2-1/buildbot-install-test-test-tool-shed-py27/build/test/functional/test_toolbox.py", line 171, in test_tool self.do_it( td, shed_tool_id=shed_tool_id ) File "/var/opt/buildslaves/buildslave-ec2-1/buildbot-install-test-test-tool-shed-py27/build/test/functional/test_toolbox.py", line 78, in do_it self.run_tool( testdef.tool.id, repeat_name=repeat_name, **page_inputs ) File "/var/opt/buildslaves/buildslave-ec2-1/buildbot-install-test-test-tool-shed-py27/build/test/base/twilltestcase.py", line 1327, in run_tool self.submit_form( **kwd ) File "/var/opt/buildslaves/buildslave-ec2-1/buildbot-install-test-test-tool-shed-py27/build/test/base/twilltestcase.py", line 1276, in submit_form raise AssertionError( errmsg ) AssertionError: Attempting to set field 'blastxml_file' to value '['blastp_four_human_vs_rhodopsin.xml']' in form 'tool_form' threw exception: cannot find value/label "blastp_four_human..odopsin.xml" in list control control: <SelectControl(blastxml_file=[])> If the above control is a DataToolparameter whose data type class does not include a sniff() method, make sure to include a proper 'ftype' attribute to the tag for the control within the <test> tag set.
