Hi Greg,

Thanks for the tips. A validator would indeed be great as I made the changes you suggested but still it did not solve the issue (the tool still does not appear – so probably yet another mistake is there...).

Regards,

Pieter.

Hello Pieter,

There are 2 different issues in 2 of your xml files that make them invalid XML.

1. In your tool_dependencies.xml file, you need to close the version string attribute in the <package> tag. So the following line with the problem:

is fixed when it looks like this:

2. In your mass comb_dbsearch_xtandem.xml file, the comment outside of the </tool> tag on the last line problematic.

</tool>

The above XML results in the XML document being parsed such that the XML root is the comment itself. If you move the comment line insideo of the <tool> tag set, all is well:

</tool>

Unfortunartely, it is difficult to render meaningful messages for invalid XML like this as the XMNL parser does not provide much of anything meaningful that can be passed on in the UI. At some point I may find the chance to incorporate a validator, but just don't currently have the time.

Hi Peter,

I've added the package to the test toolshed now as well, but there the revision is not seen in the metadata (see screenshot). What is needed to get this repository "active"? Is this still the “reset metadata” (is this a bug or by design)? Thanks for your help!

Hi Pieter,

The first thing to confirm is if the missing tool a valid XML file?

Next, does it work in your Galaxy instance (if installed manually).

Now if this problem is only in the Tool Shed, which toolshed is it in?

Your own local tool shed, the main Penn State public Tool Shed, the Penn State Test Tool Shed, or somewhere else? If it is your own tool shed, you should be able to look at its logging for clues.

If it is a public tool shed, please share the URL for the repository.

Regards,

Peter
