tool version loading loop in the toolform

[martenson]

Animation of the disturbing version switching I see on tool kegalign, this is without any interaction from the user. I cannot reproduce this on other tools I tried. It can happen either on load or after you switch the version manually.

The tool kegalign has been updated in the last hour (with its second version, so it did not have version switching before) -- so there may be a connection.

Indeed. The safe way to fix this is to restart the instance. Most of the time curl -X 'PUT' https://usegalaxy.org/api/configuration/toolbox -H "x-api-key: $your_admin_key" is gonna work.

I guess we shouldn't load the tool form that often though, that would be something to fix.

xref meeting/ The quick reloading may be due to the differing response received, calling an update as soon as the form loads the new (or old) version over top.

Should make sure we can't submit an incorrect job configuration for run -- job might just fail. Hopefully we record the tool version during hte job submission process and run the exact version submitted.

We're building the tool form twice currently, on every new tool form we navigate to.

fixes it but I didn't have time to look into it more.

Thank you Marius!

I'm investigating this. Just to be sure, are we supposed to build the tool form for every data input of the tool or just once and then when something changes?

I've observed this after adding a bunch of inputs to cat_data_and_sleep for testing and then reloading.

So if we have N inputs it will call api/tools/cat_data_and_sleep/build N+1 times. Where the first time it will pass these query parameters ?version=latest&tool_version=latest with no payload and the next N times it will pass the following payload:

Payload
