Thanks Dave,

The good news is yes, the tests are running again on the Test Tool Shed (although not the main Tool Shed yet), and many of my tools now have successful test results from last night.

e.g. My new basic mummer tool which now has a full set of dependency packages thanks to Bjoern: https://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/mummer

The bad news is there are many unexpected failures with: "Exception: History in error state."

I'm sure you'll learn more once you look over the logs,

Thank you,

Peter

Right now the mummer example given above is passing, but I am still getting this error on some of my tools, e.g.

https://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/blast2go tested 2015-01-25 11:21:12

https://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/get_orfs_or_cdss tested 2015-01-25 10:52:03

(Many of my other tools are also currently listed with different unexpected failures, some of which include the "Exception: History in error state." traceback.)

Interestingly, I've just got what appears to be the same exception from a TravisCI test run (following a trivial change to README files):

https://travis-ci.org/peterjc/galaxy_blast/builds/48893916

e.g. (one of many similar failing tests in this log) ====================================================================== ERROR: test_tool_000000 (functional.test_toolbox.TestForTool_blastxml_to_top_descr) BLAST top hit descriptions ( blastxml_to_top_descr ) > Test-1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-central-master/test/functional/test_toolbox.py", line 268, in test_tool self.do_it( td ) File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-central-master/test/functional/test_toolbox.py", line 37, in do_it stage_data_in_history( galaxy_interactor, testdef.test_data(), test_history, shed_tool_id ) File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-central-master/test/base/interactor.py", line 42, in stage_data_in_history upload_wait() File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-central-master/test/base/interactor.py", line 279, in wait while not self.__history_ready( history_id ): File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-central-master/test/base/interactor.py", line 297, in __history_ready return self._state_ready( state, error_msg="History in error state." ) File "/home/travis/build/peterjc/galaxy_blast/galaxy-central-master/test/base/interactor.py", line 356, in _state_ready raise Exception( error_msg ) Exception: History in error state.

I do not recall seeing this problem locally when using my development instllation of galaxy-central.

The TravisCI failure suggests this could be a stochastic resource contention (I can re-run the TravisCI build and see if this works second time round?), which is more prone to fail under the Tool Shed framework?
