Halla keeps failing even with documents that previously worked

Hello! I am attempting to use the HaLLA service in the Galaxy server. However, even with the default settings, my job keeps failing. I tried using documents that I had previously been able to obtain a hallagram from, but even those failed.

See below for job details:

Dataset Error Report
An error occurred while running the tool halla.

Hi @moadlc

Thanks for sharing all the details! I think the warning about dependency versions can be ignored (but we can confirm that) and instead there is an issue with writing the output, then it can’t be found.

Which server are you working at? Find this at the very top of your browser window, the first part of the URL is enough.

Let’s start there! :slight_smile:

Hi Jenna, I am working on the galaxy.biobakery.org site

Hi @moadlc

That was my guess – thanks for confirming! It was either there or your own server.

The administrators of the Biobakery Galaxy server host a user forum where you can get help with the deployment or usage of this tool. Some of tools are unique to that server (for now) plus they will be the only ones who can fix actual technical issues on the server. We wouldn’t be able to do more than solve the usage and that doesn’t sound like your issue.

From their wiki, follow the link to the forum.

I don’t see this reported yet but please double check me, then open a new ticket. Maybe something is going on just today and they can clarify. I do see one post where an older test case result had changed but it wasn’t totally empty/failed like yours.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:
