I recently reworked the dependency resolver documentation and made this explicit. I don't think the previous revision of that document mentioned this important caveat at all. Thanks for Galaxy-ing!

Thanks, -John

Hello Bjoern

Yes it looks like making the 'default' directory into a symlink makes this work.

Thanks for your help and sorry not to get back to you sooner!

Best wishes

Hi Peter,

can you try to make /path/to/local_tool_dependencies/my_package/default a symlink?

Ciao, Bjoern

Dear developers

I'm having problems trying to use the 'galaxy_packages' dependency resolver in versionless mode, as described in the docs at:

https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/latest/admin/dependency_resolvers.html#gal...

As I understand this: if I manually create a directory structure of the form e.g. /path/to/local_tool_dependencies/my_package/default/ which contains an env.sh file, and if my dependency_resolvers_conf.xml file includes the line:

<galaxy_packages base_path="/path/to/local_tool_dependencies" versionless="true" />

then at run time Galaxy should be able to resolve the following requirement in a tool XML file:

<requirement type="package">my_package</requirement>

Unfortunately although the "versioned" galaxy_packages resolver works as expected (when placed ahead of the "versionless" resolver), I don't seem able to get this working with Galaxy v16.10.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Best wishes

Peter
