That post looks like it might be wrong. If 21 is the step id of the tool (edgeR) then ds_map should probably reference steps 19 and 20 right? Also - I will see what I can do about improving these workflow API error messages - it is never exactly clear to me what is wrong when there are problems. -John On Fri, Dec 19, 2014 at 4:21 PM, Ruslan Forostianov <ruslan@thehyve.nl> wrote:

Hi John,

I did some investigation. I added logging statement to line 843 of lib/galaxy/workflow/modules.py file:

for step in workflow.steps: step_args = param_map.get( step.id, {} ) log.info('step.id=' + str(step.id) + ', step_args=' + str(step_args)) step_errors = module_injector.inject( step, step_args=step_args )

It gives: galaxy.workflow.modules INFO 2014-12-18 13:39:31,464 step.id=21, step_args={'contrast': u'Female-Male'}

See http post below. It looks like somehow runtime parameter appears among steps.

That is odd. Does that workflow run through the UI? It looks like it was missing a tool during import. Certainly the API should indicate that overtly instead of failing in this fashion.

If it does run, can you export it to JSON and send it to me?
