Hi Rocco, To help us get oriented, which galaxy-dist pull did you start from and which did you update to? If you have the release date/hg pull numbers, that would be great. If you need to reference, these are the prior distributions: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/DevNewsBriefs Ideally, you would be current through the March 12, 2012 distribution, which included some bugs fixes for python 2.5 support. Support for python 2.4 ended with the Nov 18, 2011 distribution. If there is anything else customized about your system that you feel would be relevant (other odd behavior?), that would be good to send back. For example, can you delete and purge datasets through the UI? Histories? I am going to move your question over the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list, which is the best place to reach the development community. The galaxy-user list is intended for data/tool usage questions, with a focus on Galaxy main. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Support#Mailing_Lists Please leave the galaxy-dev list in the "cc" for your return email, Thanks!

Hello,

I'm working on a local instance of Galaxy-dist and I just updated it. Right after the update I tried to run the cleanup scripts. Unfortunately what I'm getting is the following error:

# sh delete_datasets.sh -d 0 -r Traceback (most recent call last): File "./scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py", line 524, in <module> if __name__ == "__main__": main() File "./scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py", line 101, in main app = CleanupDatasetsApplication( config ) File "./scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py", line 512, in __init__ self.model = galaxy.model.mapping.init( config.file_path, config.database_connection, engine_options={}, create_tables=False, object_store=self.object_store ) File "/illumina/Galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/model/mapping.py", line 1818, in init load_egg_for_url( url ) File "/illumina/Galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/model/mapping.py", line 1798, in load_egg_for_url dialect = guess_dialect_for_url( url ) File "/illumina/Galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/model/mapping.py", line 1794, in guess_dialect_for_url return (url.split(':', 1))[0] AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'split'

The same error occurs if I try to run other cleanup scripts, such as the delete_datasets or purge_datasets.

Any idea to solve this issue?
