- Selenium test case demonstrating their use in simple workflows.
- API test demonstrating they work with nested workflows from the run perspective.
- Update run variant of workflow to_dict to parse out replacement parameters to display on the backend and tweak the client to just accept these.
- Parse out replacement parameters for subworkflows recursively, include in new run output attribute - nested workflow replacement parameters work now.
- Selenium test case demosntrating subworkflow replacement parameters are rendered and used when submitted.
Demonstrates using the Apply Rules collection operation tool against existing collections to:
- Use grouping to build nested lists from flat ones.
- Invert nested collections.
- Filter collections.
- Filter while also grouping to build nested collections.
Based on count data used in the DESeq2 tutorial (http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/DESeq2/inst/doc/DESeq2.html), originally from the Bioconductor Pasilla package (http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/experiment/html/pasilla.html). Citation: Huber W, Reyes A (2018). pasilla: Data package with per-exon and per-gene read counts of RNA-seq samples of Pasilla knock-down by Brooks et al., Genome Research 2011.. R package version 1.8.0.
Allow the rules DSL & GUI component to operate on existing collections to allow filtering, sorting, modifying identifiers and general re-organization of existing collections (e.g. the outputs of tools). Implementing this as a collection operation tool so that it should be executable interactively in the tool form and in a batch fashion as part of workflow executions.
For this to be tracked properly as a tool execution and to work properly in the tool form, I've implemented a new tool framework and tool form parameter type called "rules".
This can thought of as a more GUI friendly alternative to my proposed collection operations that consumed JavaScript expressions.
This includes API tests for both tool and workflow execution of the new tool as well as Selenium tests for tool form execution, workflow editor interactions, and workflow running.
Re-use test_data specification used by many of the API workflow tests and a workflow used by another test. Add abstractions and DOM element for mapping labeled test data to tool form inputs.
- More stuff tested:
- Connecting and disconnecting simple terminals as well as mapping terminals (ribbons).
- Rendering simple workflows, workflow with output collections, workflow with mapping, and workflow with a subworkflow.
- Collapsing side panels in the workflow editor.
- Small tweaks to editor DOM.
- More screenshots.
- More stuff tested:
- Setting input name and annotation, saving, reloading.
- Simple tests for collection inputs in addition to data inputs.
- A simple workflow renders its connections.
- More screenshots.
- Expanded use of navigation.yml for abstraction description of elements.
- More abstractions for probing the workflow in the editor - should serve as a basis for additional tests.
- Decorate editor DOM to allow finding elements in reproducible ways (enables testing, but should help with tours as well).
- Make editor tests more robust by:
- Doing more appropriate waiting, instead of adding sleeps for jQuery interactions.
- Not assuming each test occurs with a fresh user (and hence workflow list).
Vue-based component for defining collections by applying rules to a list of files or more general spreadsheet style information (e.g. sample sheets or tabular data from data sources containing URL or FTP file paths for files along with metadata). The widget is fairly complex but very broadly is broken into two panes - one to preview how rules are applied to build up tabular data defining collections (each row corresponding to a file with columns for metadata and such) and one that displays defined rules and allows for editing of these rules and creation of new ones.
The goal behind defining rules this way instead of allowing the user to interact with the spreadsheet display directly is to enable scaling up collection creation. If a user wishes to upload hundreds of datasets - interacting with a widget directly for each input doesn't scale well and would be error prone. If a user wishes to upload hundreds of thousands of datasets - even loading this information in the GUI may not scale (though I've been impressed with the performance so far of this approach) and so we can potentially just display a preview of some of the rows and process the final set of rules on the backend.
Since we can handle an arbitrary number of columns this way, we can define multiple list identifiers per file and so we can easily construct nested lists. Hence this allows creation of not just potentially larger collections but arbitrarily complex lists as well. Paired identifiers via indicator columns are also implemented.
In order to operate over lists of datasets directly - the multi-select history widget now has a new option "Build Collection from Rules" along side the other collection builders. This mode uses the well established dataset collection API to build collections from HDAs.
In order to operate on lists of FTP files or URLs - the upload widget has a new tab "Rule-based" tab that allows users to paste in tabular data or select a history dataset and then send this tabular data to the new builder widget. This will be extended to include FTP directories for instance over time. This mode uses the new data fetch API to build collections and handle uploads of arbitrary collections of files.
The preview of the tabular data generated via rules is done via [Handsontable](https://handsontable.com/) - a JavaScript spreadsheet widget with a VueJS [wrapper component](https://github.com/handsontable/vue-handsontable-official). This turns out to be a fairly nice application for reactive components - as rules are added or modified the spreadsheet just naturally updates. In my hands the widget scales very nicely - I've uploaded files with tens of thousands of rows and rules modifying the data and changing the spreadsheet do not seem to cause siignificant delays in the web browser.
- Flakey was throwing nose's SkipTest but the Selenium framework was catching unittest's, fix that to use unittest version in both places.
- There problematic test is still throwing exceptions in the tearDown which is still causing build failures, skip the whole test.
