Hello John, Conditionals and other workflow job control functions have been discussed by the team recently. I have opened a bitbucket ticket to hold ideas from the team and community. Please feel free to add comments for your specific use case. This ticket would also be a good place for you to track the status of future developments in this area: http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/697/workflow-job-control-fu... While there are no immediate development plans, we know that this is of value to our community and so it will continue to be on our list of projects to consider for prioritization going forward. Thanks for using Galaxy! Jen Galaxy team On 12/20/11 11:15 AM, John Major wrote:

Hi All-

Is there any plumbing in place for handling errors that occur in component tools of workflows? I'm thinking about a case where you might want to follow path 'A' if a tool succeeds, but path 'B' if there is some specific kind of exception, and fail completely if any other error is thrown.

If this is in place, a pointer to the relevant docs would be awesome. I've looked around and did not come up with anything.

Thanks! John
