Working at Galaxy Main https://usegalaxy.org?

Server-specific issues: https://github.com/galaxyproject/usegalaxy-playbook/issues

Issue by tool name

  1. (15) Heatmap 1.0.0 Missing dependencies. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/3030
  2. (2 bugs +github) CummeRbund 1.0.1 Select for "gene_id" problematic. Graphs for Heatmap and Volcano plots also problematic. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/issues/340
  3. (1) SnpEff Download v4.1.0 and 4.3k.0. Index problem for certain databases nested in .zip archives from the source. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/issues/1354
  4. (many) Upload Retested 6/1/17 v 17.05 then again on 10/18/17 v 17.09 on Main. Still assigning "pileup" as autodetected datatype in a greedy way for tabular format data that has a variable numbers of columns per line. Impacts Galaxy Test and Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/3001
  5. Rerun Function (many tools) Rerun view for grey "new" status dataset, and sometimes green successful datasets, fails to open Advanced Options on reloaded tool form. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2502
  6. (many) Htseq-count 0.6.1galaxy3 Does not report standardized memory failure error message. Suggested improvements are in the ticket. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2532
  7. (a few) Featurecounts Is being updated from 1.4.6.p5 to 1.5.3 to address a bug is but not in the MTS yet (was just upgraded). Update Main once in MTS and test. Impacts Galaxy Main https://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/usegalaxy-playbook/issues/52

retest/status in progress

  1. (1) Annovar 0.2 Wrapper problems. Use v 0.1 as a workaround. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/4001
  2. (1) Picard SamToFastq 1.136.0 Does not list fastqsanger output datasets in Workflow editor. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org and a local Galaxy (not tested on Cloudman). Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/issues/414
  3. (?) BWA-MEM 0.7.12.1 produces BAM that fails ValidateSamFile 1.136.0. Default options for both. ValidateSamFile tool needs tuning? Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2846

Note: (N) is number of confirmed bug reports about issue. Not all issues can be counted this way. Count of (many) indicates that this is ongoing user problem with usage, often clarified when reviewing other bug reports/questions.


Tools that need updated usage/help


Fixed pending server update

  1. (many) StringTie 1.3.3. Errors when output for DEseq2/EdgeR is selected. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details and workaround: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/issues/1322. Status: https://github.com/galaxyproject/usegalaxy-playbook/issues/60

Integration tests in progress ( v 17.09 )

TOOLS

  1. (21) MEME 4.11.1.0 Has dependency issues. Updates have not resolved usage problems yet (tool has never worked). Impacts http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1913
  2. Needs RE-TEST (many) Upload (across releases) Trailing return characters in pasted data cause problems and the "why" is not clear to users. Impacts Galaxy Main, locals, cloud. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2886
  3. Needs RE-TEST (many) MAF tools 1.0.1 Switching between MAF data sources does not refresh tool form/dbkey list. Impacts Galaxy Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2828.

UI

  1. Needs RE-TEST (many) Pileup datasets not recognized by downstream tools. This is due to tabular datatype assignment by Mpileup/Generate pileup (SAMTools). Assignment of both start and end to the same column could be why auto-assignment of type is not possible. Workaround: Click on dataset's pencil icon and assign pileup datatype. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1744
  2. Workflows NOTE that a new workflow form is pending and these usage issues will be re-tested. Behavior: Reference genome selection at runtime or changes through editor are not persistent or do not allow use of a Custom Reference Genome/Build. Known issues, sometimes linked to specific tools (SAMTool, Tophat). Impacts Main http://usegalaxy.org. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1132

Issue by user interface behavior

  1. Reference Genome Missing from tool First, make certain that the dataset has the "database" metadata asssignment. If still missing, the genome may be undergoing indexing (on Test, to be promoted to Main ). Check the details ticket below for notes and progress. If you do not see your genome, request it as instructed in the ticket. Remember that a Custom Reference Genome can be used right now instead for most tools. Impacts Bowtie2 Tophat(2) BWA BWA-MEM Kraken. Details: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1470

Issue with performance at Galaxy Main

  1. If there are issues with delays, reports of histories not loading, a blue screen stating that Galaxy is busy ... then check the Galaxy Status page to see if there is a problem with the server first: https://status.galaxyproject.org/
  2. If status is OK, then read recent posts at Galaxy Biostars, where transient issues are often reported and clarified. A new question can be asked if there is no activity about the problem. https://biostar.usegalaxy.org/

Issue by error message

  1. Error from a tool in the NGS: SAMtools or NGS: Picard groups about sort order.
  2. Tool is failing for memory or walltime (click on bug icon to review - this does not need to be submitted).
  3. Tool is failing for what appears to be a cluster error.
  4. Tool is failing and you are not sure what the error message means or how to troubleshoot/get help.

Try this first: Sort your inputs

Check all inputs: All Support help

If you cannot determine the problem from the help above, the bug report can be sent in: Common tool errors and solutions, including how to send in a bug report.
