I now have 2 versions of snpeff installed from the toolshed on my galaxy server. Each snpeff version includes an identical datatypes_conf.xml The galaxy server is setting metadata externally.
When any job runs, (in may case I was running a picard tool), the following message is written to the job stderr: WARNING:galaxy.datatypes.registry:Overriding conflicting datatype with extension 'snpeffdb', using datatype from /galaxy/database/tmp/tmpdKGVnQ. Without stdio tags or otherwise catching the stderr, the job state is set to error.
I believe I'm responsible for the above warning message, but I'm not sure I like the resulting behavior - I wasn't aware that the job runner now captures warning messages like this and sets the job state to error. At the time I enhance the Galaxy datatypes components to work with the Tool Shed, this was not the behavior.
I'm now assuming that best practice would be to put the datatypes in a separate toolshed repository that would be a dependency for the tools repository. Thus the datatypes would not loaded multiple times and avoid overrride conflicts.
Yes, the above plan would be a "best practice".
In the meantime, I have just commented out the warning message.
Any other advice on this issue?
I'm wondering if we should just eliminate the warning message altogether sicne it now results in jobe errors. Do others agree?
Thanks,
JJ
