Hi @Martyn
I’m not sure exactly how to do this either. Suggestions were in the original post…
Were you able to reach the tool developer? Or get help at their forum? They are currently working to update this specific import tool last time we had an update here. Details for this also in the original post.

We might be able to help more here but would involve testing out options just like you would be (these tools are a bit special, with no test data/unit tests in the Galaxy wrapper yet). Since potential inputs can vary significantly, a real example is needed.
You could create a history with examples of what you have tried so far (with datasets undeleted) then we use that for more tests. No other data please – just the starting data and your tests isolated.
- Start over in a new empty history
- Clearly label each test (using tags please – leaving the original dataset names intact). If you give each of the starting datasets a
#tag, that will propagate to the outputs. I also tend to copy/paste the tool version into tags on outputs when testing across versions. - Use the smallest test data possible. Just enough to be representative.
- A history with just the inputs will not be enough. We need your examples of failures.
- Posting that back here is just one small slice of potential help.
- Sharing that at the QIIME forum with context (cross-link to this post) would probably get more help. Some Q&A there already has similar advice so check those methods first if you haven’t already.
