Unicode isn't handled nicely yet AFAIK so

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 23: ordinal not in range(128)

might mean a http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2013/index.htm - overtyping these in an ascii text editor will remove them but this is a wart for sure IMHO.

You can follow our progress at fixing this on the trello card at https://trello.com/c/couxOih6

Hi all,

I'm working on a local Galaxy instance and I want to integrate TASSEL's GLM pipeline into it. But when I run the tool, it prompts:

"tool error
An error occurred running this job: failure preparing job"

This is how the log looks like:

galaxy.jobs.handler INFO 2013-07-08 16:00:47,648 (73) Job dispatched

I figured the problem is that UnicodeEncodeError but I don't have an idea how to fix this or where to begin. I do hope you can help me.

Thanks and Best Regards,
