Command-line utilities to assist in building tools for the Galaxy project (http://galaxyproject.org/).

Project description

https://readthedocs.org/projects/pip/badge/?version=latest https://badge.fury.io/py/planemo.svg https://travis-ci.org/galaxyproject/planemo.png?branch=master https://coveralls.io/repos/galaxyproject/planemo/badge.svg?branch=master

Command-line utilities to assist in building tools for the Galaxy project.

Quick Start

This quick start demonstrates using planemo commands to help develop Galaxy tools. Planemo can quickly be installed via Homebrew or as a more traditional Python project.

To install using Homebrew or linuxbrew:

brew tap galaxyproject/tap
brew install planemo

For a more traditional Python installation simply setup a virtualenv for planemo (this example creates a new one in .venv) and then install with pip.

% virtualenv .venv; . .venv/bin/activate
% pip install planemo

Planemo is also available a virtual appliance for Docker or Vagrant (bundled with a preconfigured Galaxy server optimized for tool development).

This quick start will assume you will have a directory with one or more tool XML files. If none is available, one can be quickly create for demonstrating planemo as follows mkdir mytools; cd mytools; planemo project_init --template=demo.

Planemo can check tools containing XML for common problems and best practices using the lint command (also aliased as l).

% planemo lint
...

Like many planemo commands - by default this will search the current directory and use all tool files it finds. It can be explicitly passed other tool files or a directory of tool files.

% planemo l randomlines.xml

The lint command takes in a additional options related to reporting levels, exit code, etc…. These options are descirbed here or (like all available commands) be accessed by passing it --help.:

% planemo l --help
Usage: planemo lint [OPTIONS] TOOL_PATH
...

Once tools are syntically correct - it is time to test. The test command can be used to test a tool or directory of tools.:

% planemo test --galaxy_root=../galaxy-central randomlines.xml

If no --galaxy_root is defined, planemo will check for a default in ~/.planemo.yml) and finally search the tool’s parent directories for a Galaxy root directory (developing tools under Galaxy tools directory is a common development workflow). Planemo can also download and configure a disposable Galaxy instance just for testing by passing it -install_galaxy instead of a Galaxy root.:

% planemo t --install_galaxy

Warning: The features of Planemo that require a --galaxy_root will only work with Galaxy releases from 2015.

Planemo will create a HTML an output report in the current directory named tool_test_output.html (override with --test_output). Here is an example of such a report for Tophat.

Once tools have been linted and tested - the tools can be viewed in a Galaxy interface using the serve (s) command.:

% planemo serve

Like test, serve requires a Galaxy root and one can be explicitly specified with --galaxy_root or installed dynamically with --install_galaxy.

Experimental Features

Planemo can also be used to explore some more experimental features related to Galaxy tooling - including support for Travis CI, Docker, Homebrew.

Tool Shed

For information on using Planemo to publish artifacts to the Galaxy Tool Shed, check out the Publishing to the Tool Shed documentation on reathedocs.org.

TravisCI

When tools are ready to be published to GitHub, it may be valuable to setup contineous integration to test changes committed and new pull requests. Travis CI is a service providing free testing and deep integration with GitHub.

The travis_init command will bootstrap a project with files to ease contineous integration testing of tools using a Planemo driven approach inspired by this great blog post by Peter Cock.

% planemo travis_init .
% # setup Ubuntu 12.04 w/tool dependencies
% vim .travis/setup_custom_dependencies.bash
% git add .travis.yml .travis
% git commit -m "Add Travis CI testing infrastructure for tools."
% git push # and register repository @ http://travis-ci.org/

In this example the file .travis/setup_custom_dependencies.bash should install the dependencies required to test your files on to the Travis user’s PATH.

This testing approach may only make sense for smaller repositories with a handful of tools. For larger repositories, such as tools-devteam or tools-iuc simply linting tool and tool shed artifacts may be more feasible. Check out the .travis.yml file used by the IUC as example.

Docker

Galaxy has experimental support for running jobs in Docker containers. Planemo contains tools to assist in development of Docker images for Galaxy tools.

A shell can be launched to explore the Docker enviornment referenced by tools that are annotated with publically registered Docker images.:

% $(planemo docker_shell bowtie2.xml)

For Docker containers still in development - a Dockerfile can be associated with a tool by sticking it in the tool’s directory. Planemo can then build and tag a Docker image for this tool and launch a shell into it using the following commands.:

% planemo docker_build bowtie2.xml # asssumes Dockerfile in same dir
% $(planemo docker_shell --from_tag bowtie2.xml)

For more details see the documentation for the docker_build and docker_shell commands.

Brew

The Galaxy development team is exploring different options for integrating Homebrew and linuxbrew with Galaxy. One angle is resolving the tool requirements using brew. An experimental approach for versioning of brew recipes will be used. See full discussion on the homebrew-science issues page here - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/issues/1191. Information on the implementation can be found https://github.com/jmchilton/platform-brew until a more permanent project home is setup.

% planemo brew_init # install linuxbrew (only need if not already installed)
% planemo brew # install dependencies for all tools in directory.
% planemo brew bowtie2.xml # install dependencies for one tool
% which bowtie2
bowtie2 not found
% . <(planemo brew_env --shell bowtie2.xml) # shell w/brew deps resolved
(bowtie2) % which bowtie2
/home/john/.linuxbrew/Cellar/bowtie2/2.1.0/bin/bowtie2
(bowtie2) % exit
% . <(planemo brew_env bowtie2.xml) # or just source deps in cur env
% which bowtie2
/home/john/.linuxbrew/Cellar/bowtie2/2.1.0/bin/bowtie2

For more information see the documentation for the brew and brew_env commands.
