Tool XML form building bug with <options from_data_table="..."> ?
by damion@learningpoint.ca
Has anyone run into this? I'm building a general-purpose filter control on
my galaxy tool xml template for enabling numeric fields to be filtered by >
< etc. parameters - in a user friendly way. I have a select list <para>
driven by a data table: ...
<param name="filter_column" type="select" label="Col"> <options
from_data_table="bccdc_blast_fields" /> </param>...This works fine in
building a list of fields to select from. Then I add <filter
type="sort_by" column="1"/> <filter type="add_value" name="TESTESTTEST"
value="WHWHWHW" />
but nothing happens, sort remains incorrect and no extra value. I try
these same filters on a previous <param> in form that is driven by <options
from_file="bccdc_blast_bins.loc"> and they work fine.
I also tried applying <fiilter type="static_value" ...> to no avail on
from_data_table options tag, but from from_file options, no problem.
So I start to think there's a bug whereby NO filters work on <options
from_data_table="bccdc_blast_fields" /> input? I've surveyed the
galaxy.tools.parameters.dynamic_optionspython code, but can't see a
decision point there in which from_data_table work vs from_file choice is
made; is it in another script file?
I'm using a BioLinux 2012 install that includes Galaxy.
Help appreciated!
