Dave, Thanks for your reply. I already had my tool shed specified in tool_sheds_conf.xml, which is why I omitted the GALAXY_INSTALL_TEST_TOOL_SHEDS_CONF environment variable. I just tried it with, GALAXY_INSTALL_TEST_TOOL_SHEDS_CONF=install_and_test_tool_sheds_conf.xml The contents of the install_and_test_tool_sheds_conf.xml is as follows: <?xml version="1.0"?> <tool_sheds> <tool_shed name="My tool shed" url="http://toolshed.galaxy.domain.org/ "/> </tool_sheds> But it results in the exact same error: AssertionError: Invalid HTTP return code 404, allowed codes: 200 Do you have any other ideas?

Serrano,

The GALAXY_INSTALL_TEST_TOOL_SHEDS_CONF environment variable should be set to an XML file that specifies the tool shed you're installing from. I've updated the wiki page to be clearer on that point.

Dear Galaxy hackers,

I'm having trouble with the tool test framework. I have a local installation of a Galaxy Tool Shed (latest stable from the repository) on my Linux server. I have an Apache proxy to my tool shed (per http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/HostingALocalToolShed). The Tool Shed seems to work fine. I'm able to create and maintain repositories and I'm able to install tools from the Tool Shed from remote Galaxy instances.

Now I want to run the functional tests of the tools in the Tool Shed. I do that by following the instructions on the wiki (http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/AutomatedToolTests). It comes down to the following commands:

---------------------------------------------------------------------- cd /opt/galaxy/galaxy-dist/ export GALAXY_INSTALL_TEST_TOOL_SHED_API_KEY=2aeecfe2d9f28d0c5b6959a41886b5fd export GALAXY_INSTALL_TEST_TOOL_SHED_URL=http://toolshed.galaxy.domain.org/ python lib/tool_shed/scripts/check_repositories_for_functional_tests.py tool_shed_wsgi.ini sh install_and_test_tool_shed_repositories.sh ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The second script (install_and_test_tool_shed_repositories.sh) fails with the following error:

====================================================================== FAIL: install_repository_usearch (install_and_test_tool_shed_repositories.functional.test_install_repositories.TestInstallRepository_usearch)

allowed codes: 200 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

(I've changed twilltestcase.py to also print the URL that is being browsed.) This is were it get's weird. The HTTP 404 response code indicates that the page was not found. However, when I browse to that URL, it works fine! What's more, when I try to access that page with `wget` from the same machine the HTTP response code is 200:

---------------------------------------------------------------------- wget http://toolshed.galaxy.domain.org//repository/preview_tools_in_changeset?repository_id=3651c288c4818b12&changeset_revision=095baaf5d877

... HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK ... ----------------------------------------------------------------------

When I use the Tool Shed URL http://localhost:9009/ instead, I get a similar error, only the return code is 500 instead of 404. I suspect that the HTTP return code returned by the Python module that returns it (Mechanize?) is invalid. I found a note about this error on the wiki (http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Running%20Tests):

"Note: If you have another version of paste installed in your PYTHONPATH, it can cause problems running the functional tests. Many tests will error (instead of passing/failing) because of an HTML code 500 where a 200 was expected. There are two workarounds for this: uninstall paste or use virtualenv. "

The thing is, I do not have another version of Paste installed. What can I do to fix this error?

Dave, The space isn't there in my actual XML file. I must have accidentally put the space there while constructing the email. The URL that fails with the 404 error is actually correct (as stated in my first post). This means that it successfully obtained the URL from the XML file. So I suspect the problem is somewhere else.

It looks like you might have a space in your tool_sheds_conf.xml after domain.org/ but before the " character, is that the case? If so, I would suggest removing it and trying again.
