Feature Request: Ability to specify a directory to read xml files for tool configuration
Right now for each tool I have, I have to list the xml file per tool in tool_conf.xml. I'd like to specify a directory that Galaxy will scan for a list of xml files and load all of them. So instead of:
<section id="myTools" name="Custom Tools"> <tool file="mytools/tool1.xml" /> <tool file="mytools/tool2.xml" /> .... </section>
I can do:
<section id="myTools" name="Custom Tools"> <tool file="mytools/*.xml" /> </section>
I'd add this to Trello but unfortunately my company blocks the site.
Hi Ryan,
have you looked at this option?
# Set to True to enable monitoring of tools and tool directories # listed in any tool config file specified in tool_config_file option. # If changes are found, tools are automatically reloaded. Watchdog ( # https://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog ) must be installed and # available to Galaxy to use this option. Other options include 'auto' # which will attempt to watch tools if the watchdog library is available # but won't fail to load Galaxy if it is not and 'polling' which will use # a less efficient monitoring scheme that may work in wider range of scenarios # than the watchdog default. #watch_tools = False
Cheers, Bjoern

Ryan,
This is possible using the relatively new tool_dir tag.
<tool_dir dir="path/to/tools" />
This still looks in the tool path like other the normal tool tag.

Thank you John and Bjoern. I will take a look at both.
