I could be wrong but I think the <install> tag should have some sort of download action - I don't think tools are actually stuck in $INSTALL_DIR like this - $INSTALL_DIR is where you can move or compile downloaded files to. You might want to try $REPOSITORY_INSTALL_DIR instead of $INSTALL_DIR - but really if you are going to just stick an application next to your tool wrapper like this (I would consider this an anti-pattern) I would just set your PATH in mytool.sh and not worry about the tool shed install stuff at all. Maybe add something like PATH=`dirname $0`/bin:$PATH export PATH To the wrapper mytool.sh. As I mentioned - I think bundling applications with tools like this is something of an anti-pattern even if you can make it work. The best practice here would be to try to separate packages with binaries from repositories that contain tools and create a format "package_mytools" repository that is just responsible for installing the binary mytool. Hopefully this helps, -John On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 9:43 AM, KRESS Arnaud (ESP) <akress@unistra.fr> wrote:
Hi gentlemen, I am currently struggling to create a custom package (to share via a toolshed) that would include a tool definition file and the associated binary. Once installed, I can launch a job but I get the following error message:
mytool.sh: line 14: mytool: unknown command
It seems that the PATH was not correctly set. What am I doing wrong ?
My directory tree in my package: . ├── mytool.sh ├── mytool.xml ├── bin │ └── mytool └── tool_dependencies.xml
Here is my tool_dependencies.xml file content:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <tool_dependency> <package name="mytool" version="1.0"> <install version="1.0"> <actions> <action type="set_environment"> <environment_variable name="PATH" action="prepend_to">$INSTALL_DIR/bin</environment_variable> </action> </actions> </install> <readme> </readme> </package> </tool_dependency>
