[release-testing-22.05] Tutorials with steps that are difficult/incompatible with Galaxy version 22.05
The 22.05 release testing team is running a set of GTN tutorials on usegalaxy.org running Galaxy 22.05. This issue is to keep track of issues that arise running the tutorials.
Galaxy 101
-
Hands-on: Create history -> 2. Rename your history
: detailed instructions for renaming the history do not fit with the new UI -
Hands-on: UCSC genome browser -> To visualize the data in UCSC genome browser, click on "display at UCSC main" option visible when you expand the history item.
: The 'display at UCSC main' option for the final bed dataset is not available in the new history panel.
We do not yet have a plan for the multi version instructions needed, let's add that to the @galaxyproject/wg-goats discussion today @shiltemann @Delphine-L
And what happened to display at ucsc? Is t just gone?
It's still there ? As before, you need to have a valid dbkey assigned, is that the case ?

For the tutorial dataset (a bed file with db hg38) if I click on the Visualize button there are the options: 1. display in IGB; 2. display with IGV but not an option for the UCSC main genome browser. If I switch to the legacy history panel display at UCSC main
is an option. It's the final dataset in this history https://usegalaxy.org/u/cat-bro/h/galaxy101
I've made comments on some of the tutorials that need to be updated, in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ka5qedSnE2FQyb-uoXXBK7euaofVj03XshRfQX78ON0/edit Should those go here too? ( @jdavcs ?)
'Searching Your History' tutorial (1) Basic search instructions are not correct
Enter any text that a dataset you’d be looking for would contain, including:
- the name or part of the name # this works
- any text (or partial text) from the info field. # this does not work
- the file format or reference database. # this does not work
- any text or partial text from the annotation or tags of a dataset. # this does not work
Only the 'name' search works from the list above. This is probably not a bug since there is a new advanced search feature for searching by extension or tags
(2) Advanced search instructions are out of date. =
needs to be replaced with :
for terms like name=cactus
(now name:cactus
)
(3) Some of the advanced search terms do not work.
name
, hid
, tag
and state
filtering works.
format
has been replaced with extension
and this works
database
, annotation
, info
and history_content_type
filtering does not work. The search terms covered in the tutorial do work with the legacy history
[EDIT] the set of filtering options for the new history were introduced in this PR https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/13591
'Understanding Galaxy History system' also contains the search instructions above as well as very specific labelled pictures of history items and instructions on renaming the history panel that will need updating.
Extracting Workflows from Histories tutorial:
- [ ]
Hands-on: Extract workflow
: Gear icon (for history options) needs to be updated with the new history options icon - [ ]
Hands-on: Managing your histories
: Table icon (for switch history) needs to be updated with the new switch history icon
Name tags for following complex histories tutorial:
- [ ] Note that non-name tags are now visible in the new history? ( Do not need to expand dataset to find non-name tags anymore )
Use Jupyter notebooks in Galaxy tutorial:
- [ ]
Hands-on: Lauching a Jupyter notebook from the Visualize tab
: Can't findInteractive Environments
section under the Visualize tab (Same applies toHands-on: Launching a Jupyter notebook from a dataset or a saved Jupyter notebook
)
Multisample Analysis tutorial:
- [ ] Screenshots outdated
- [ ] Indicates Galaxy’s test server is ‘currently’ was being used at that time, so tutorial might need to be updated to the current release
Rule Based Uploader: Advanced tutorial
-
Hands-on: Build Collection from Uniprot Accession IDs
Point 6 (JSON Rule Definitions):but before clicking “Build”
must be replaced withbut before clicking “Upload”
, since it refers to theBuild Rules for Uploading Datasets
window; -
Hands-on: Build a matched collection
Point 2: I uploaded multiple data and played with the Rules, but the history button near the wrench icon, as shown with the figure in this part of the tutorial, never showed up. Problem occurs on Chrome. Icon appears on Safari but it does not work #14175; -
Hands-on: Building Nested Lists
Point 1: the first figure does not match with the tutorial. It says to paste a table but the figure shows a tabular data loaded from a History Dataset.
Galaxy 101 for everyone tutorial
-
Hands-on: Converting dataset format
Point 1 (Tip: Converting the file format):Click the Convert datatype button
must be replaced withClick the Create Dataset button
; -
Hands-on: Extract workflow
Point 2: the gear icon must be replaced with the arrow icon, and of course the images must be also updated to match the new menu.
Group tags for complex experimental designs tutorial
-
Hands-on: Set group tags during upload
Point 1 (Tip: Creating a new history): is theIf the new-history is missing:
block still required? Point 6: after clicking on theBuild
button, the Galaxy Upload Manager window disappears #14154. Problem occurs on Chrome. It works as expected on Safari; -
Hands-on: Set group tags using the "Tag elements from file" tool
Point 4: theTag elements from file
tool is now namedTag elements
; Also, the resulting collection is named as... (Tagged)
, but no tags are visible on the collection even if the collection has been correctly tagged; -
Hands-on: Running DESeq2 with group tags
Point 1: the last stepOutput normalized counts table: Yes
must be expanded to something likeUnder "Output options", select the "Output normalised counts" output selector
.
A short introduction to Galaxy tutorial
-
Hands-on: Name history
Point 2:Click on the history name
should be replaced with "Click on the pencil icon", and of course the figure must be updated; -
After the
Hands-on: View the dataset content
, the plural wordbacteria
should be replaced withbacterium
; -
Hands-on: Extract workflow
Point 2: the gear icon does not exist anymore and should be replaced with the arrow icon. Figure must be also updated; -
Hands-on: New history
Point 1: does it make sense to keep theIf the plus-sign is missing
block? Point 2: Again,Click to rename history
doesn't work anymore and should be replaced with something likeClick on the pencil icon
; -
Hands-on: View histories
Point 1: theView all histories
icon does not exist anymore and should be replaced withShow Histories Side-by-Side
under the new history menu (arrow button).

The name of theBWA-MEM
tool must be updated toMap with BWA
;"Use the following dataset as the reference sequence": output
must be updated with the the name of the GCF file in historyGCF_009858895.2_ASM985889v3_genomic.fna.gz (as fasta)
;"Single or Paired-end reads": Paired Collection

Hands-on: Annotate variant effects
There are twoSnpEff eff
tools. The tutorial should point the user to theSnpEff eff: annotate variants for SARS-CoV-2
tool; The last three pointsAnnotation options
,Filter output
, and"Filter out specific Effects": No
are set to their default values, so there is no need to keep them on the tutorial.
