I think it needs to be touched up but the basic operation seems to work so far. I think what remains to be done is:
- Validate uniqueness of identifiers and provide nice messages if they are not unique.
- Validate that at least the required number of lines are present in the file and provide a nice message if not.
- Add strict mode to ensure exactly the correct number of lines is added.
- Find where validation of identifiers happens in the API and apply same validation here - try not to let unsafe identifiers be created.
- Consider more advanced modes - selecting a column, apply a regex replace, pick two columns for nested lists, etc.... None of this may need to be needed in the first iteration.
- Consider another mode where a collection is labelled against an existing collection - should that be a separate tool of the same tool.
- Add monitor tag on toolbox root elements to force Galaxy to watch the toolbox for changes.
- Refactoring and test improvements for existing tool monitoring code.
- Implement toolbox shutdown process to ensure different watchers don't compete with each other.
- Set the default tool conf to be monitored.
