cummeRbund 1.0.1 error - plots fail against sqlite database content

[methylome]

I have no clue why the following errors occurred.

• When loading:

galaxy.tools.parameters.basic DEBUG 2016-02-24 04:04:17,191 Error determining dynamic options for parameter 'gene_id' in tool 'toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/devteam/cummerbund/cummeRbund/1.0.1':

Thanks, Justin.

I'm using 16.01 and think it worked in 15.10.

I'm having the same problem, was it ever resolved?

@methylome, @hershbc: I've managed to track down where it is breaking, but I don't have a solution in place yet. I'll keep looking into it, and try to keep you posted on my progress.

[hershbc]

Thanks, issue #465 I believe is the same problem, I wrote it a few days ago, before I realized that this post was the same. So once it works again, that issue will also be resolved.

May also be related: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/3030 (Heatmap problems with same tool - might be resolved by same fix).

I closed out https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/issues/465 as a duplicate, but it can still be referenced for the heatmap issue with this tool.

@davebx Dave, this is more about the problem, although it sounds like you know what is going on. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the inputs after doing much testing on the single example I had/reviewed. I have seen other examples where this tool worked correctly (gene_id was populated based on the input and selectable), but that was a while ago, before 17.01 at least. I forwarded an example where it failed.

Job Information
Parameter gene_id requires a value, but has no legal values defined.

Volcano plots are also problematic (not just Heatmap). No distinct ticket for that, but let me know if is needed. When option is used, results in:

Job Information
Parameter x requires a value, but has no legal values defined.

Thanks @methylome & @hershbc for reporting the problem!

[davebx]

Any plot type that tries to fetch parameters from the sqlite file is going to be broken.

@davebx missed this comment, sorry. Should this issue have a more specific ticket (could be named what you commented!) then we list out tools (devtools, iuctools, others on main) that have this same issue? Bundle so can be fixed? Or is there another solution/idea? I don't want to lose the root cause of these failures (still get reported often).

[jennaj]

@davebx simple ping to find out the current status for the fix. Thanks!

hello, I have encountered with the same problem as I tried to use cummeRbund in galaxy. Previously, I had attempted to visualize my data using RStudio but it wouldn't work.

cuff<-readCufflinks() cuff Following the two commands above, I would get this;

CuffSet instance with: 0 samples 0 genes 0 isoforms 0 TSS 0 CDS 0 promoters 0 splicing 0 relCDS Could it be due to some processing problem in one of the tools of Galaxy?
