HI @TEr_LeE

It looks like a bug in the latest Galaxy version. Thank you for reporting it!

Hi @jennaj, it seems there is an issue with BAM preview in the latest Galaxy. I have a BAM file for dm6. Clicking at Eye icon (Display) shows an error for Preview option:
Unknown or invalid visualization: igv

Why igv for Preview? It should show the file content, isn’t it?

Visualize works just fine. I can see the file at UCSC GB. Have not tested IGV.

Kind regards,
Igor

I am having the same issue, were you able to fix it?

Sorry for the inconvenience here – during the release candidate for 25.0 we got a little ahead of our skis. What you’re seeing is Galaxy trying to use the visualization-first framework for previewing datasets (Visualization-First Display functionality by dannon · Pull Request #20190 · galaxyproject/galaxy · GitHub). Deployed on main, bam is currently configured to use igv.js, which isn’t quite yet available.

Thanks for the report, and we’ll get this resolved as soon as possible.

Hello,
Do you have a timeline on when this will be fixed? I am still seeing the same issue.
Thank you!
