The supplied script or executable is baked as a requirement +into a new, ordinary Galaxy tool, fully workflow compatible out of the box. +Generated tools are installed via a tool shed by an administrator +and work exactly like all other Galaxy tools for your users. + +**More Detail** + +To use the ToolFactory, you should have prepared a script to paste into a +text box, or have a package in mind and a small test input example ready to select from your history +to test your new script. + +```planemo test rgToolFactory2.xml --galaxy_root ~/galaxy --test_data ~/galaxy/tools/tool_makers/toolfactory/test-data``` works for me + +There is an example in each scripting language on the Tool Factory form. You +can just cut and paste these to try it out - remember to select the right +interpreter please. You'll also need to create a small test data set using +the Galaxy history add new data tool. + +If the script fails somehow, use the "redo" button on the tool output in +your history to recreate the form complete with broken script. Fix the bug +and execute again. Rinse, wash, repeat. + +Once the script runs sucessfully, a new Galaxy tool that runs your script +can be generated. Select the "generate" option and supply some help text and +names. The new tool will be generated in the form of a new Galaxy datatype +*toolshed.gz* - as the name suggests, it's an archive ready to upload to a +Galaxy ToolShed as a new tool repository. + +Once it's in a ToolShed, it can be installed into any local Galaxy server +from the server administrative interface. + +Once the new tool is installed, local users can run it - each time, the script +that was supplied when it was built will be executed with the input chosen +from the user's history. In other words, the tools you generate with the +ToolFactory run just like any other Galaxy tool,but run your script every time. + +Tool factory tools are perfect for workflow components. One input, one output, +no variables. + +*To fully and safely exploit the awesome power* of this tool, +Galaxy and the ToolShed, you should be a developer installing this +tool on a private/personal/scratch local instance where you are an +admin_user. Then, if you break it, you get to keep all the pieces see +https://bitbucket.org/fubar/galaxytoolfactory/wiki/Home + +**Installation** +This is a Galaxy tool. You can install it most conveniently using the +administrative "Search and browse tool sheds" link. Find the Galaxy Main +toolshed at https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ and search for the toolfactory +repository. Open it and review the code and select the option to install it. + +If you can't get the tool that way, the xml and py files here need to be +copied into a new tools +subdirectory such as tools/toolfactory Your tool_conf.xml needs a new entry +pointing to the xml +file - something like:: + + <section name="Tool building tools" id="toolbuilders"> + <tool file="toolfactory/rgToolFactory.xml"/> + </section> + +If not already there, +please add: +<datatype extension="toolshed.gz" type="galaxy.datatypes.binary:Binary" +mimetype="multipart/x-gzip" subclass="True" /> +to your local data_types_conf.xml. + + +**Restricted execution** + +The tool factory tool itself will then be usable ONLY by admin users - +people with IDs in admin_users in universe_wsgi.ini **Yes, that's right. ONLY +admin_users can run this tool** Think about it for a moment. If allowed to +run any arbitrary script on your Galaxy server, the only thing that would +impede a miscreant bent on destroying all your Galaxy data would probably +be lack of appropriate technical skills. + +**What it does** + +This is a tool factory for simple scripts in python, R and +perl currently. Functional tests are automatically generated. How cool is that. + +LIMITED to simple scripts that read one input from the history. Optionally can +write one new history dataset, and optionally collect any number of outputs +into links on an autogenerated HTML index page for the user to navigate - +useful if the script writes images and output files - pdf outputs are shown +as thumbnails and R's bloated pdf's are shrunk with ghostscript so that and +imagemagik need to be available. + +Generated tools can be edited and enhanced like any Galaxy tool, so start +small and build up since a generated script gets you a serious leg up to a +more complex one. + +**What you do** + +You paste and run your script, you fix the syntax errors and +eventually it runs. You can use the redo button and edit the script before +trying to rerun it as you debug - it works pretty well. + +Once the script works on some test data, you can generate a toolshed compatible +gzip file containing your script ready to run as an ordinary Galaxy tool in +a repository on your local toolshed. That means safe and largely automated +installation in any production Galaxy configured to use your toolshed. + +**Generated tool Security** + +Once you install a generated tool, it's just +another tool - assuming the script is safe. They just run normally and their +user cannot do anything unusually insecure but please, practice safe toolshed. +Read the code before you install any tool. Especially this one - it is really scary. + +**Send Code** + +Patches and suggestions welcome as bitbucket issues please? + +**Attribution** + +Creating re-usable tools from scripts: The Galaxy Tool Factory +Ross Lazarus; Antony Kaspi; Mark Ziemann; The Galaxy Team +Bioinformatics 2012; doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bts573 + +http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/bts573?ijkey=lczQh1sWrMwdYWJ&keytype=ref + +**Licensing** + +Copyright Ross Lazarus 2010 +ross lazarus at g mail period com + +All rights reserved. + +Licensed under the LGPL + +**Obligatory screenshot** + +http://bitbucket.org/fubar/galaxytoolmaker/src/fda8032fe989/images/dynamicScriptTool.png +
