    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation xml:lang="en"><![CDATA[

This tag set is contained within the ``requirements`` tag set. Third party
programs or modules that the tool depends upon are included in this tag set.

When a tool runs, Galaxy attempts to *resolve* these requirements (also called
dependencies). ``requirement``s are meant to be abstract and resolvable by
multiple different systems (e.g. [conda](http://conda.pydata.org/docs/), the
[Galaxy Tool Shed dependency management system](https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedToolFeatures#Automatic_third-party_tool_dependency_installation_and_compilation_with_installed_repositories),
or [environment modules](http://modules.sourceforge.net/)).

Read more about dependency resolvers in Galaxy on
[docs.galaxyproject.org](https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/dependency_resolvers.html).
The current best practice for tool dependencies is to target Conda, this is
discussed in greater detail
[here](https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/conda_faq.html).

### Examples

This example shows a tool that requires the samtools 0.0.18 package.

This package is available via the Tool Shed (see
[Tool Shed dependency management](https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedToolFeatures#Automatic_third-party_tool_dependency_installation_and_compilation_with_installed_repositories)
) as well as [Conda](https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/conda_faq.html)
and can be configured locally to adapt to any other package management system.

```xml
<requirements>
    <requirement type="package" version="0.1.18">samtools</requirement>
</requirements>
```

This older example shows a tool that requires R version 2.15.1. The
``tool_depensencies.xml`` should contain matching declarations for Galaxy to
actually install the R runtime. The ``set_envirornment`` type is only respected
by the tool shed and is ignored by the newer and preferred conda dependency
resolver.

```xml
<requirements>
    <requirement type="set_environment">R_SCRIPT_PATH</requirement>
    <requirement type="package" version="2.15.1">R</requirement>
</requirements>
```

**Deprecated** do not use this unless absolutely necessary.

This tag set provides detailed control of the way the tool is executed. This
(optional) code can be deployed in a separate file in the same directory as the
tool's config file. These hooks are being replaced by new tool config features
and methods in the ~/lib/galaxy/tools/__init__.py code file.

### Examples

#### Dynamic Options

Use associated dynamic select lists where selecting an option in the first
select list dynamically re-renders the options in the second select list. In
this example, we are populating both dynamic select lists from metadata elements
associated with a tool's single input dataset. The 2 metadata elements we're
using look like this.

```python
MetadataElement( name="field_names", default=[], desc="Field names", readonly=True, optional=True, visible=True, no_value=[] )
# The keys in the field_components map to the list of field_names in the above element
# which ensures order for select list options that are built from it.
MetadataElement( name="field_components", default={}, desc="Field names and components", readonly=True, optional=True, visible=True, no_value={} )
```

Our tool config includes a code file tag like this.

```xml
<code file="tool_form_utils.py" />
```

Here are the relevant input parameters in our tool config. The first parameter
is the input dataset that includes the above metadata elements.

```xml
<param name="input" type="data" format="vtkascii,vtkbinary" label="Shape with uncolored surface field">
    <validator type="expression" message="Shape must have an uncolored surface field.">value is not None and len(value.metadata.field_names) > 0</validator>
</param>
```

The following parameter dynamically renders a select list consisting of the
elements in the ``field_names`` metadata element associated with the selected
input dataset.

```xml
<param name="field_name" type="select" label="Field name" refresh_on_change="True">
    <options>
        <filter type="data_meta" ref="input" key="field_names"/>
        <validator type="no_options" message="The selected shape has no uncolored surface fields." />
    </options>
</param>
```

The following parameter calls the ``get_field_components_options()`` function in
the ``tool_form_utils.py`` code file discussed above. This function returns the
value of the input dataset's ``field_components`` metadata element dictionary
whose key is the currently selected ``field_name`` from the select list parameter
above.

```xml
<param name="field_component_index" type="select" label="Field component index" dynamic_options="get_field_components_options(input, field_name=field_name)" help="Color will be applied to the selected field's component associated with this index." />
```

Changing the selected option in the ``field_name`` select list will dynamically
re-render the options available in the associated ``field_component_index`` select
list, which is the behavior we want.

The ``get_field_components_options()`` method looks like this.

```python
def get_field_components_options( dataset, field_name ):
    options = []
    if dataset.metadata is None:
        return options
    if not hasattr( dataset.metadata, 'field_names' ):
        return options
    if dataset.metadata.field_names is None:
        return options
    if field_name is None:
        # The expression validator that helps populate the select list of input
        # datsets in the icqsol_color_surface_field tool does not filter out
        # datasets with no field field_names, so we need this check.
        if len( dataset.metadata.field_names ) == 0:
            return options
        field_name = dataset.metadata.field_names[0]
    field_components = dataset.metadata.field_components.get( field_name, [] )
    for i, field_component in enumerate( field_components ):
        options.append( ( field_component, field_component, i == 0 ) )
    return options
```

This tag set contains the necessary parameter values for executing the tool via
the functional test framework.

### Example

The following two tests will execute the
[/tools/filters/sorter.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/tools/filters/sorter.xml)
tool. Notice the way that the tool's inputs and outputs are defined.

```xml
  <tests>
    <test>
      <param name="input" value="1.bed" ftype="bed" />
      <param name="column" value="1"/>
      <param name="order" value="ASC"/>
      <param name="style" value="num"/>
      <output name="out_file1" file="sort1_num.bed" ftype="bed" />
    </test>
    <test>
      <param name="input" value="7.bed" ftype="bed" />
      <param name="column" value="1"/>
      <param name="order" value="ASC"/>
      <param name="style" value="alpha"/>
      <output name="out_file1" file="sort1_alpha.bed" ftype="bed" />
    </test>
  </tests>
```

The following example, tests the execution of the MAF-to-FASTA converter
([/tools/maf/maf_to_fasta.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/master/tools/maf/maf_to_fasta.xml)).

```xml
<tests>
    <test>

        <output name="out_file1" file="cf_maf2fasta_concat.dat" ftype="fasta"/>
    </test>
</tests>
```

This test demonstrates verifying specific properties about a test output instead
of directly comparing it to another file. Here the file attribute is not
specified and instead a series of assertions is made about the output.

one in ``inputs`` with this element.

``param`` elements in a ``test`` block can be arranged into nested ``repeat``,
``conditional``, and ``select`` structures to match the inputs. While this might
be overkill for simple tests, it helps prevent ambiguous definitions and keeps
things organized in large test cases. A future ``profile`` version of Galaxy
tools may require ``section`` blocks be explicitly defined with this
directive.

### Examples

The test tool demonstrating sections
([section.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/test/functional/tools/section.xml))
contains a test case demonstrating this block. This test case appears below:

```xml

``param`` elements in a ``test`` block can be arranged into nested ``repeat``,
``conditional``, and ``select`` structures to match the inputs. While this might
be overkill for simple tests, it helps prevent ambiguous definitions and keeps
things organized in large test cases. A future ``profile`` version of Galaxy

### Examples

The following example demonstrates disambiguation of a parameter (named ``use``)
which appears in multiple ``param`` names in ``conditional``s in the ``inputs``
definition of the [disambiguate_cond.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/test/functional/tools/disambiguate_cond.xml)
tool.

```xml
<!-- Can use nested conditional blocks as shown below to disambiguate
     various nested parameters. -->
<test>
    <conditional name="p1">
        <param name="use" value="False"/>
    </conditional>
    <conditional name="p2">
        <param name="use" value="True"/>
    </conditional>
    <conditional name="p3">
        <param name="use" value="False"/>
    </conditional>
    <conditional name="files">
        <param name="attach_files" value="True" />
        <conditional name="p4">
            <param name="use" value="True"/>
            <param name="file" value="simple_line_alternative.txt" />
        </conditional>
    </conditional>
    <output name="out_file1">
        <assert_contents>
            <has_line line="7 4 7" />
            <has_line line="This is a different line of text." />
        </assert_contents>
    </output>
</test>
```

The [tophat2](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/tophat2/tophat2_wrapper.xml)
tool demonstrates a real tool that benefits from more structured test cases
using the ``conditional`` test directive. One such test case from that tool is
shown below.

Specify test parameters below an iteration of a ``repeat`` block with this
element.

``param`` elements in a ``test`` block can be arranged into nested ``repeat``,
``conditional``, and ``select`` structures to match the inputs. While this might
be overkill for simple tests, it helps prevent ambiguous definitions and keeps
things organized in large test cases. A future ``profile`` version of Galaxy
tools may require ``repeat`` blocks be explicitly defined with this directive.

### Examples

The test tool [disambiguate_repeats.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/test/functional/tools/disambiguate_repeats.xml)
demonstrates the use of this directive.

This first test case demonstrates that this block allows different values for
the ``param`` named ``input`` to be tested even though this parameter name
appears in two different ``<repeat>`` elements in the ``<inputs>`` definition.

```xml
<!-- Can disambiguate repeats and specify multiple blocks using,
     nested structure. -->
<test>
    <repeat name="queries">
        <param name="input" value="simple_line.txt"/>
    </repeat>
    <repeat name="more_queries">
        <param name="input" value="simple_line_alternative.txt"/>
    </repeat>
    <output name="out_file1">
        <assert_contents>
            <has_line line="This is a line of text." />
            <has_line line="This is a different line of text." />
        </assert_contents>
    </output>
</test>
```

The second definition in that file demonstrates repeated ``<repeat>`` blocks
allowing multiple instances of a single repeat to be specified.

```xml
<!-- Multiple such blocks can be specified but only with newer API
     driven tests. -->
<test>
    <repeat name="queries">
        <param name="input" value="simple_line.txt"/>
    </repeat>
    <repeat name="queries">
        <param name="input" value="simple_line_alternative.txt"/>
    </repeat>
    <repeat name="more_queries">
        <param name="input" value="simple_line.txt"/>
    </repeat>
    <repeat name="more_queries">
        <param name="input" value="simple_line_alternative.txt"/>
    </repeat>
    <output name="out_file1" file="simple_lines_interleaved.txt"/>
</test>
```

            <has_text_matching expression="ABK[\d\.]+" />
        </element_text>
    </assert_contents>
</output>
```

The following demonstrtes verifying XML content with XPath-like expressions.

```xml
<output name="out_file1">

This directive specifies a test for an output's discovered dataset. It acts as an
``output`` test tag in many ways and can define any tests of that tag (e.g.
``assert_contents``, ``value``, ``compare``, ``md5``, ``checksum``, ``metadata``, etc...).

Define tests for extra files corresponding to an output collection.

``output_collection`` directives should specify a ``name`` and ``type``
attribute to describe the expected output collection as a whole.

Expectations about collecton contents are described using child ``element``
directives. For nested collections, these child ``element`` directives may
themselves contain children.

### Examples

The [genetrack](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/genetrack/genetrack.xml)
tool demonstrates basic usage of an ``output_collection`` test expectation.

```xml
<test>
    <param name="input" value="genetrack_input2.gff" ftype="gff" />
    <param name="input_format" value="gff" />
    <param name="sigma" value="5" />
    <param name="exclusion" value="20" />
    <param name="up_width" value="10" />
    <param name="down_width" value="10" />
    <param name="filter" value="3" />
    <output_collection name="genetrack_output" type="list">
        <element name="s5e20u10d10F3_on_data_1" file="genetrack_output2.gff" ftype="gff" />
    </output_collection>
</test>
```

The [CWPair2](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/cwpair2/cwpair2.xml)
tool demonstrates that ``element``s can specify a ``compare`` attribute just
like [``output``](#tool|tests|test|output).

```xml
<test>
    <param name="input" value="cwpair2_input1.gff" />
    <param name="up_distance" value="25" />
    <param name="down_distance" value="100" />
    <param name="method" value="all" />
    <param name="binsize" value="1" />
    <param name="threshold_format" value="relative_threshold" />
    <param name="relative_threshold" value="0.0" />
    <param name="output_files" value="matched_pair" />
    <output name="statistics_output" file="statistics1.tabular" ftype="tabular" />
    <output_collection name="MP" type="list">
        <element name="data_MP_closest_f0u25d100_on_data_1.gff" file="closest_mp_output1.gff" ftype="gff" compare="contains"/>
        <element name="data_MP_largest_f0u25d100_on_data_1.gff" file="largest_mp_output1.gff" ftype="gff" compare="contains"/>
        <element name="data_MP_mode_f0u25d100_on_data_1.gff" file="mode_mp_output1.gff" ftype="gff" compare="contains"/>
    </output_collection>
</test>
```

The
[collection_creates_dynamic_nested](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/test/functional/tools/collection_creates_dynamic_nested.xml)
test tool demonstrates the use of nested ``element`` directives as described
above. Notice also that it tests the output with ``assert_contents`` instead of
supplying a ``file`` attribute. Like hinted at with with ``compare`` attribute
above, the ``element`` tag can specify any of the test attributes that apply to
the [``output``](#tool|tests|test|output) (e.g. ``md5``, ``compare``, ``diff``,
etc...).

```xml
<test>
  <param name="foo" value="bar" />
  <output_collection name="list_output" type="list:list">
    <element name="oe1">
      <element name="ie1">
        <assert_contents>
          <has_text_matching expression="^A\n$" />
        </assert_contents>
      </element>
      <element name="ie2">
        <assert_contents>
          <has_text_matching expression="^B\n$" />
        </assert_contents>
      </element>
    </element>
    <element name="oe2">
      <element name="ie1">
        <assert_contents>
          <has_text_matching expression="^C\n$" />
        </assert_contents>
      </element>
      <element name="ie2">
        <assert_contents>
          <has_text_matching expression="^D\n$" />
        </assert_contents>
      </element>
    </element>
    <element name="oe3">
      <element name="ie1">
        <assert_contents>
          <has_text_matching expression="^E\n$" />
        </assert_contents>
      </element>
      <element name="ie2">
        <assert_contents>
          <has_text_matching expression="^F\n$" />
        </assert_contents>

        <param name="input_table" type="data" format="biom1" label="Tabular File" argument="--input-fp"/>
    </when>
</conditional>
```

The first directive following the conditional is a [``param``](#tool|inputs|param),
this param must be of type ``select`` or ``boolean``. Depending on the value a
user selects for this "test" parameter - different UI elements will be shown.
These different paths are described by the following the ``when`` blocks shown
above.

The following Cheetah block demonstrates the use of the ``conditional``
shown above:

```
biom convert -i "${input_type.input_table}" -o "${output_table}"
#if str( $input_type.input_type_selector ) == "tsv":
    #if $input_type.process_obs_metadata:
        --process-obs-metadata "${input_type.process_obs_metadata}"
    #end if
#end if
```

Notice that the parameter ``input_table`` appears down both ``when`` clauses
so ``${input_type.input_table}`` appears unconditionally but we need to
conditionally reference ``${input_type.process_obs_metadata}`` with a Cheetah
``if`` statement.

A common use of the conditional wrapper is to select between reference data
managed by the Galaxy admins (for instance via
[data managers](https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/DataManagers)
) and
history files. A good example tool that demonstrates this is
the [Bowtie 2](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/bowtie2/bowtie2_wrapper.xml) wrapper.

```xml
<conditional name="reference_genome">
  <param name="source" type="select" label="Will you select a reference genome from your history or use a built-in index?" help="Built-ins were indexed using default options. See `Indexes` section of help below">
    <option value="indexed">Use a built-in genome index</option>
    <option value="history">Use a genome from the history and build index</option>
  </param>
  <when value="indexed">
    <param name="index" type="select" label="Select reference genome" help="If your genome of interest is not listed, contact the Galaxy team">
      <options from_data_table="bowtie2_indexes">
        <filter type="sort_by" column="2"/>
        <validator type="no_options" message="No indexes are available for the selected input dataset"/>
      </options>
    </param>
  </when>
  <when value="history">
    <param name="own_file" type="data" format="fasta" metadata_name="dbkey" label="Select reference genome" />
  </when>
</conditional>
```

The Bowtie 2 wrapper also demonstrates other conditional paths - such as choosing
between paired inputs of single stranded inputs.

See
[xy_plot.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/xy_plot/xy_plot.xml)
for an example of how to use this tag set. This is a container for any tag sets
that can be contained within the ``<inputs>`` tag set. When this is used, the
tool will allow the user to add any number of additional sets of the contained
parameters (an option to add new iterations will be displayed on the tool form).
All input parameters contained within the ``<repeat>`` tag can be retrieved by
enumerating over ``$<name_of_repeat_tag_set>`` in the relevant Cheetah code.
This returns the rank and the parameter objects of the repeat container. See the
Cheetah code below.

### Example

This part is contained in the ``<inputs>`` tag set.

```xml
<repeat name="series" title="Series">
    <param name="input" type="data" format="tabular" label="Dataset"/>
    <param name="xcol" type="data_column" data_ref="input" label="Column for x axis"/>
    <param name="ycol" type="data_column" data_ref="input" label="Column for y axis"/>
</repeat>
```

This Cheetah code can be used in the ``<command>`` tag set or the
``<configfile>`` tag set.

```xml
#for $i, $s in enumerate( $series )
    rank_of_series=$i
    input_path='${s.input}'
    x_colom=${s.xcol}
    y_colom=${s.ycol}
#end for
```

### Testing

This is an example test case with multiple repeat elements for the example above.

```xml
<test>
    <repeat name="series">
        <param name="input" value="tabular1.tsv" ftype="tabular"/>
        <param name="xcol" value="1"/>
        <param name="ycol" value="2"/>
    </repeat>
    <repeat name="series">
        <param name="input" value="tabular2.tsv" ftype="tabular"/>
        <param name="xcol" value="4"/>
        <param name="ycol" value="2"/>
    </repeat>
    <output name="out_file1" file="cool.pdf" ftype="pdf" />
</test>
```

See the documentation on the [``repeat`` test directive](#tool|tests|test|repeat).

An older way to specify repeats in a test is by instances that are created by referring to names with a special format: "<repeat name>_<repeat index>|<param name>"

```xml
<test>
    <param name="series_0|input" value="tabular1.tsv" ftype="tabular"/>
    <param name="series_0|xcol" value="1"/>
    <param name="series_0|ycol" value="2"/>
    <param name="series_1|input" value="tabular2.tsv" ftype="tabular"/>
    <param name="series_1|xcol" value="4"/>
    <param name="series_1|ycol" value="2"/>
    <output name="out_file1" file="cool.pdf" ftype="pdf" />
</test>
```

The test tool [disambiguate_repeats.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/test/functional/tools/disambiguate_repeats.xml)
demonstrates both testing strategies.

This tag is used to group parameters into sections of the interface. Sections
are implemented to replace the commonly used tactic of hiding advanced options
behind a conditional, with sections you can easily visually group a related set
of options.

### Example

The XML configuration is relatively trivial for sections:

```xml
<inputs>
    <section name="adv" title="Advanced Options" expanded="False">
        <param name="plot_color" type="color" label="Track color" />
    </section>
</inputs>
```

In your command template, you'll need to include the section name to access the
variable:

```
--color $adv.plot_color
```

Further examples can be found in the [test case](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/master/test/functional/tools/section.xml) from [PR #35](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/35)

Contained within the ``<inputs>`` tag set - each of these specifies a field that
will be displayed on the tool form. Ultimately, the values of these form fields
will be passed as the command line parameters to the tool's executable.

### Common Attributes

The attributes valid for this tag vary wildly based on the ``type`` of the
parameter being described. All the attributes for the ``param`` element are
documented below for completeness, but here are the common ones for each
type are as follows:

$attribute_list:name,type,optional,label,help,argument

### Parameter Types

#### ``text``

When ``type="text"``, the parameter is free form text and appears as a text box
in the tool form.

$attribute_list:value,size,area

##### Examples

Sometimes you need labels for data or graph axes, chart titles, etc. This can be
done using a text field. The following will create a text box 30 characters wide
with the default value of "V1".

```xml
<param name="xlab" size="30" type="text" value="V1" label="Label for x axis"/>
```

The ``size`` parameter can be two dimensional, if it is the textbox will be
rendered on the tool form as a text area instead of a single line text box.

```xml
<param name="foo" type="text" area="True" size="5x25" />
```

#### ``integer`` and ``float``

These parameters represent whole number and real numbers, respectively.

$attribute_list:value,min,max

##### Example

```
<param name="region_size" size="4" type="integer" value="1" label="flanking regions of size" />
```

#### ``boolean``

This represents a binary true or false value.

$attribute_list:checked,truevalue,falsevalue

#### ``data``

A dataset from the current history. Multiple types might be used for the param form.

##### Examples

The following will find all "coordinate interval files" contained within the
current history and dynamically populate a select list with them. If they are
selected, their destination and internal file name will be passed to the
appropriate command line variable.

```xml
<param name="interval_file" type="data" format="interval" label="near intervals in"/>
```

The following demonstrates a ``param`` which may accept multiple files and
multiple formats.

```xml
<param format="sam,bam" multiple="true" name="bamOrSamFile" type="data"
       label="Alignments in BAM or SAM format"
       help="The set of aligned reads." />
```

$attribute_list:format,multiple

#### ``select``

The following will create a select list containing the options "Downstream" and
"Upstream". Depending on the selection, a ``d`` or ``u`` value will be passed to
the ``$upstream_or_down`` variable on the command line.

```xml
<param name="upstream_or_down" type="select" label="Get">
  <option value="u">Upstream</option>
  <option value="d">Downstream</option>
</param>
```

The following will create a checkbox list allowing the user to select
"Downstream", "Upstream", both, or neither. Depending on the selection, the
value of ``$upstream_or_down`` will be ``d``, ``u``, ``u,d``, or "".

```xml
<param name="upstream_or_down" type="select" label="Get" multiple="true" display="checkboxes">
  <option value="u">Upstream</option>
  <option value="d">Downstream</option>
</param>
```

$attribute_list:data_ref,dynamic_options,display,multiple

#### ``data_column``

This parameter type is used to select columns from a parameter.

$attribute_list:force_select,numerical,use_header_name

#### ``drill_down``

$attribute_list:hierarchy

#### ``data_collection``

$attribute_list:format,collection_type

The following will create a parameter that only accepts paired FASTQ files grouped into a collection.

##### Examples

```xml
<param name="inputs" type="data_collection" collection_type="paired" label="Input FASTQs" format="fastq">
</param>
```

More detailed information on writing tools that consume collections can be found
in the [planemo documentation](http://planemo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/writing_advanced.html#collections).

#### ``color``

$attribute_list:value

##### Examples

The following example will create a color selector parameter.

```xml
<param name="feature_color" type="color" label="Default feature color" value="#ff00ff">
</param>
```

Given that the output includes a pound sign, it is often convenient to use a
sanitizer to prevent Galaxy from escaping the result.

```xml
<param name="feature_color" type="color" label="Default feature color" value="#ff00ff">
  <sanitizer>
    <valid initial="string.letters,string.digits">
      <add value="#" />
    </valid>
  </sanitizer>
</param>
```

This covers examples of the most common parameter types, the remaining parameter
types are more obsecure and less likely to be useful for most tool authors.

  <xs:complexType name="Command">
    <xs:annotation gxdocs:best_practices="command-tag">
      <xs:documentation xml:lang="en"><![CDATA[
This tag specifies how Galaxy should invoke the tool's executable, passing its
required input parameter values (the command line specification links the
parameters supplied in the form with the actual tool executable). Any word
inside it starting with a dollar sign (``$``) will be treated as a variable whose
values can be acquired from one of three sources: parameters, metadata, or
output files. After the substitution of variables with their values, the content
is interpreted with [Cheetah](http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/) and finally given
to the interpreter specified in the corresponding attribute (if any).

### Examples

The following uses a compiled executable ([bedtools](http://bedtools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)).

```xml
<command>bed12ToBed6 -i '$input' > '$output'</command>
```

A few things to note about even this simple example:

* Input and output variables (boringly named ``input`` and ``output``)
  are expanded into paths using the ``$`` Cheetah directive.
* Paths should be quoted so that the Galaxy database files may contain spaces.
* We are building up a shell script - so special characters like ``>`` can be used
  (in this case the standard output of the bedtools call is written to the path
  specified by ``'$output'``).

The bed12ToBed6 tool can be found [here](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/bedtools/bed12ToBed6.xml).

A more sophisticated bedtools example demonstrates the use of loops, conditionals,
and uses whitespace to make a complex command very readable can be found in
[annotateBed](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/bedtools/annotateBed.xml)
tool.

```xml
<command><![CDATA[
bedtools annotate
        -i "${inputA}"
        #if $names.names_select == 'yes':
            -files
            #for $bed in $names.beds:
                '${bed.input}'
            #end for
            -names
            #for $bed in $names.beds:
                '${bed.inputName}'
            #end for
        #else:
            #set files = '" "'.join( [ str( $file ) for $file in $names.beds ] )
            -files '${files}'
            #set names = '" "'.join( [ str( $name.display_name ) for $name in $names.beds ] )
            -names '${names}'
        #end if
        $strand
        $counts
        $both
        > "${output}"
]]]]><![CDATA[></command>
```

The following example (taken from [xpath](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/xpath/xpath.xml) tool)
uses an interpreted executable. In this case a Perl script is shipped with the
tool and the directory of the tool itself is referenced with ``$__tool_directory__``.

```xml
<command>
  perl $__tool_directory__/xpath -q -e '$expression' '$input' > '$output'
</command>
```

The following example demonstrates accessing metadata from datasets. Metadata values
(e.g., ``${input.metadata.chromCol}``) are acquired from the ``Metadata`` model associated
with the objects selected as the values of each of the relative form field
parameters in the tool form. Accessing this information is generally enabled using
the following feature components.

A set of "metadata information" is defined for each supported data type (see the
``MetadataElement`` objects in the various data types classes in
[``/lib/galaxy/datatypes``](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/tree/dev/lib/galaxy/datatypes).
The ``DatasetFilenameWrapper`` class in the
[/lib/galaxy/tools/wrappers.py](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/lib/galaxy/tools/wrappers.py)
code file wraps a metadata collection to return metadata parameters wrapped
according to the Metadata spec.

```xml
<command><![CDATA[
        #set genome = $input.metadata.dbkey
        #set datatype = $input.datatype
        mkdir -p output_dir &&
        python $__tool_directory__/extract_genomic_dna.py
        --input '$input'
        --genome '$genome'
        #if $input.is_of_type("gff"):
            --input_format "gff"
            --columns "1,4,5,7"
            --interpret_features $interpret_features
        #else:
            --input_format "interval"
            --columns "${input.metadata.chromCol},${input.metadata.startCol},${input.metadata.endCol},${input.metadata.strandCol},${input.metadata.nameCol}"
        #end if
        --reference_genome_source $reference_genome_cond.reference_genome_source
        #if str($reference_genome_cond.reference_genome_source) == "cached"
            --reference_genome $reference_genome_cond.reference_genome.fields.path
        #else:
            --reference_genome $reference_genome_cond.reference_genome
        #end if
        --output_format $output_format_cond.output_format
        #if str($output_format_cond.output_format) == "fasta":
            --fasta_header_type $output_format_cond.fasta_header_type_cond.fasta_header_type
            #if str($output_format_cond.fasta_header_type_cond.fasta_header_type) == "char_delimited":
                --fasta_header_delimiter $output_format_cond.fasta_header_type_cond.fasta_header_delimiter
            #end if
        #end if
        --output '$output'
]]]]><![CDATA[></command>
```

In additon to demonstrating accessing metadata, this example demonstrates:

* ``$input.is_of_type("gff")`` which can be used to check if an input is of a
  given datatype.
* ``#set datatype = $input.datatype`` which is the syntax for defining variables
  in Cheetah.

<a name="cheetah_reserved_variables"></a>

### Reserved Variables

Galaxy provides a few pre-defined variables which can be used in your command line,
even though they don't appear in your tool's parameters.

Name | Description
---- | -----------
``$__tool_directory__`` | The directory the tool description (XML file) currently resides in (new in 15.03)
``$__new_file_path__`` | ``config/galaxy.ini``'s ``new_file_path`` value
``$__tool_data_path__`` | ``config/galaxy.ini``'s tool_data_path value
``$__root_dir__`` | Top-level Galaxy source directory made absolute via ``os.path.abspath()``
``$__datatypes_config__`` | ``config/galaxy.ini``'s datatypes_config value
``$__user_id__`` | Email's numeric ID (id column of ``galaxy_user`` table in the database)
``$__user_email__`` | User's email address
``$__app__`` | The ``galaxy.app.UniverseApplication`` instance, gives access to all other configuration file variables (e.g. $__app__.config.output_size_limit). Should be used as a last resort, may go away in future releases.

Additional runtime properties are available as environment variables. Since these
are not Cheetah variables (the values aren't available until runtime) these should likely
be escaped with a backslash (``\``) when appearing in ``command`` or ``configfile`` elements.

Name | Description
---- | -----------
``\${GALAXY_SLOTS:-4}`` | Number of cores/threads allocated by the job runner or resource manager to the tool for the given job (here 4 is the default number of threads to use if running via custom runner that does not configure GALAXY_SLOTS or in an older Galaxy runtime).

See the [Planemo docs](http://planemo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/writing_advanced.html#cluster-usage)
on the topic of ``GALAXY_SLOTS`` for more information and examples.

### Attributes

#### ``detect_errors``

If present on the ``command`` tag, this attribute can be one of:

* ``default`` no-op fallback to ``stdio`` tags and erroring on standard error output (for legacy tools).
* ``exit_code`` error if tool exit code is not 0. (The @jmchilton recommendation).
* ``aggressive`` error if tool exit code is not 0 or either ``Exception:`` or ``Error:``
  appears in standard error/output. (The @bgruening recommendation).

For newer tools with ``profile>=16.04``, the default behavior is ``exit_code``.
Legacy tools default to ``default`` behavior described above (erroring if the tool
produces any standard error output).

See [PR 117](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/117) for more implementation
information and discussion on the ``detect_errors`` attribute.

#### ``strict``

This boolean forces the ``#set -e`` directive on in shell scripts - so that in a
multi-part command if any part fails the job exits with a non-zero exit code.
This is enabled by default for tools with ``profile>=16.04`` and disabled on
legacy tools.

#### ``interpreter``

Older tools may define an ``intepreter`` attribute on the command, but this is
deprecated and using the ``$__tool_directory__`` variable is superior.

See [/tools/filters/sorter.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/master/tools/filters/sorter.xml)
for typical examples of how to use this tag set. This directive is used to described
static lists of options and is contained
within the [``param``](#tool|inputs|param) directive when the ``type`` attribute
value is ``select`` (i.e. ``<param type="select" ...>``).

### Example

```xml
<param name="style" type="select" label="with flavor">
    <option value="num">Numerical sort</option>
    <option value="gennum">General numeric sort</option>
    <option value="alpha">Alphabetical sort</option>
</param>
```

An option can also be annotated with ``selected="true"`` to specify a
default option.

```xml
<param name="col" type="select" label="From">
    <option value="0" selected="true">Column 1 / Sequence name</option>
    <option value="1">Column 2 / Source</option>
    <option value="2">Column 3 / Feature</option>

See [/tools/extract/liftOver_wrapper.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/master/tools/extract/liftOver_wrapper.xml)
for an example of how to use this tag set. This tag set is optionally contained
within the ``<param>`` tag when the ``type`` attribute value is ``select`` or
``data`` and used to dynamically generated lists of options. This tag set
dynamically creates a list of options whose values can be
obtained from a predefined file stored locally or a dataset selected from the
current history.

There are at least five basic ways to use this tag - four of these correspond to
a ``from_XXX`` attribute on the ``options`` directive and the other is to
exclusively use ``filter``s to populate options.

* ``from_data_table`` - The options for the select list are dynamically obtained
  from a file specified in the Galaxy configuration file
  ``tool_data_table_conf.xml`` or from a Tool Shed installed data manager.
* ``from_dataset`` - The options for the select list are dynamically obtained
  from input dataset selected for the tool from the current history.
* ``from_file`` - The options for the select list are dynamically obtained from
  a file. This mechanis is discourage in favor of the more generic
  ``from_data_table``.
* ``from_parameter`` - The options for the select list are dynamically obtained
  from a parameter.
* Using ``filter``s - various filters can be used to populate options, see
  examples in the [``filter``](#tool|inputs|param|options|filter) documentation.

### ``from_data_table``

See Galaxy's
[data tables documentation](https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/Data%20Tables)
for information on setting up data tables.

Once a data table has been configured and populated, these can be easily
leveraged via tools.

This ``conditional`` block in the
[bowtie2](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/bowtie2/bowtie2_wrapper.xml)
wrapper demonstrates using ``from_data_table`` options as an
alternative to local reference data.

```xml
<conditional name="reference_genome">
  <param name="source" type="select" label="Will you select a reference genome from your history or use a built-in index?" help="Built-ins were indexed using default options. See `Indexes` section of help below">
    <option value="indexed">Use a built-in genome index</option>
    <option value="history">Use a genome from the history and build index</option>
  </param>
  <when value="indexed">
    <param name="index" type="select" label="Select reference genome" help="If your genome of interest is not listed, contact the Galaxy team">
      <options from_data_table="bowtie2_indexes">
        <filter type="sort_by" column="2"/>
        <validator type="no_options" message="No indexes are available for the selected input dataset"/>
      </options>
    </param>
  </when>
  <when value="history">
    <param name="own_file" type="data" format="fasta" metadata_name="dbkey" label="Select reference genome" />
  </when>
</conditional>
```

A minimal example wouldn't even need the ``filter`` or ``validator`` above, but
they are frequently nice features to add to your wrapper and can improve the user
experience of a tool.

### ``from_dataset``

The following example is taken from the Mothur tool
[remove.lineage.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/mothur/remove.lineage.xml)
and demonstrates generating options from a dataset directly.

```xml
<param name="taxonomy" type="data" format="mothur.seq.taxonomy" label="taxonomy - Taxonomy" help="please make sure your file has no quotation marks in it"/>
<param name="taxons" type="select" size="120" optional="true" multiple="true" label="Browse Taxons from Taxonomy">
    <options from_dataset="taxonomy">
        <column name="name" index="1"/>
        <column name="value" index="1"/>
        <filter type="unique_value" name="unique_taxon" column="1"/>
        <filter type="sort_by" name="sorted_taxon" column="1"/>
    </options>
    <sanitizer>
        <valid initial="default">
            <add preset="string.printable"/>
            <add value=";"/>
            <remove value="&quot;"/>
            <remove value="&apos;"/>
        </valid>
    </sanitizer>
</param>
```

Filters can be used to generate options from dataset directly also as the
example below demonstrates (many more examples are present in the
[``filter``](#tool|inputs|param|options|filter) documentation).

```xml
<param name="species1" type="select" label="When Species" multiple="false">
    <options>
        <filter type="data_meta" ref="input1" key="species" />
    </options>
</param>
```

### ``from_file``

The following example is for Blast databases. In this example users maybe select
a database that is pre-formatted and cached in Galaxy clusters. When a new
dataset is available, admins must add the database to the local file named
"blastdb.loc". All such databases in that file are included in the options of
the select list. For a local instance, the file (e.g. ``blastdb.loc`` or
``alignseq.loc``) must be stored in the configured
[``tool_data_path``](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/tree/master/tool-data)
directory. In this example, the option names and values are taken from column 0
of the file.

```xml
<param name="source_select" type="select" display="radio" label="Choose target database">
    <options from_file="blastdb.loc">
        <column name="name" index="0"/>
        <column name="value" index="0"/>
    </options>
</param>
```

In general, ``from_file`` should be considered deprecated and  ``from_data_table``
should be prefered.

### ``from_parameter``

This variant of the ``options`` directive is discouraged because it exposes
internal Galaxy structures. See the older
[bowtie](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/bowtie_wrappers/bowtie_wrapper.xml)
wrappers for an example of these.

### Other Ways to Dynamically Generate Options

Though deprecated and discouraged, [``code``](#tool|code) blocks can also be
used to generate dynamic options.

Any number of columns may be described, but at least one must be given the name
``value`` and it will serve as the value of this parameter in the Cheetah
template and elsewhwere (e.g. in API for instance).

If a column named ``name`` is defined, this too has special meaning and it will
be the value the tool form user sees for each option. If no ``name`` column
appears, ``value`` will serve as the name.

### Examples

The following fragment shows options from the dataset in the current history
that has been selected as the value of the parameter named ``input1``.

```xml
<options from_dataset="input1">

    <column name="value" index="0"/>

The [interval2maf](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/tools/maf/interval2maf.xml)
tool makes use of this tag with files from a history, and the
[star_fusion](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/star_fusion/star_fusion.xml)
tool makes use of this to reference a data table.

See the
[annotation_profiler](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/annotation_profiler/annotation_profiler.xml)
tool for an example of how to use this tag set. This tag set is contained within
the <param> tag set - it applies a validator to the containing parameter.

### Examples

The following demonstrates a simple validator ``unspecified_build`` ensuring
that a dbkey is present on the selected dataset. This example is taken from the
[extract_genomic_dna](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/extract_genomic_dna/extract_genomic_dna.xml#L42)
tool.

```xml
<param name="input" type="data" format="gff,interval" label="Fetch sequences for intervals in">
    <validator type="unspecified_build" />
</param>
```

Along the same line, the following example taken from
[samtools_mpileup](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tool_collections/samtools/samtools_mpileup/samtools_mpileup.xml)
ensures that a dbkey is present and that FASTA indices in the ``fasta_indexes``
tool data table are present.

```xml
<param format="bam" label="BAM file(s)" name="input_bam" type="data" min="1" multiple="True">
    <validator type="unspecified_build" />
    <validator type="dataset_metadata_in_data_table" metadata_name="dbkey" table_name="fasta_indexes" metadata_column="1"
               message="Sequences are not currently available for the specified build." />
</param>
```

In this older, somewhat deprecated example - a genome build of the dataset must
be stored in Galaxy clusters and the name of the genome (``dbkey``) must be one
of the values in the first column of file ``alignseq.loc`` - that could be
expressed with the validator. In general, ``dataset_metadata_in_file`` should be
considered deprecated in favor of

```xml
<validator type="dataset_metadata_in_file"
           filename="alignseq.loc"
           metadata_name="dbkey"
           metadata_column="1"
           message="Sequences are not currently available for the specified build."
           split=" "
           line_startswith="seq" />
```

A very common validator is simply ensure a Python expression is valid for a
specified value. In the following example - paths/names that downstream tools
use in filenames may not contain ``..``.

```xml
<validator type="expression" message="No two dots (..) allowed">'..' not in value</validator>
```

See
[/tools/filters/grep.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/tools/filters/grep.xml)
for a typical example of how to use this tag set. This tag set is used to
replace the basic parameter sanitization with custom directives. This tag set is
contained within the ``<param>`` tag set - it contains a set of ``<valid>`` and
``<mapping>`` tags.

### Examples

This example replaces the invalid character default of ``X`` with the empty
string (so invalid characters are effectively dropped instead of replaced with
``X``) and indicates the only valid characters for this input are ASCII letters,
ASCII digits, and ``_``.

```
<param name="mystring" type="text" label="Say something interesting">
    <sanitizer invalid_char="">
        <valid initial="string.letters,string.digits"><add value="_" /> </valid>
    </sanitizer>
</param>
```

This example allows many more valid characters and specifies that ``&`` will just
be dropped from the input.

```
<sanitizer>
    <valid initial="string.printable">
        <remove value="&apos;"/>
    </valid>
    <mapping initial="none">
        <add source="&apos;" target=""/>
    </mapping>
</sanitizer>

### Examples

The following example from Mothur's
[remove.groups.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/mothur/remove.groups.xml)
tool demonstrates filtering a select list based on the metadata of an input to
to the tool.

```xml
<param name="group_in" type="data" format="mothur.groups,mothur.count_table" label="group or count table - Groups"/>
<param name="groups" type="select" label="groups - Pick groups to remove" multiple="true" optional="false">
    <options>
        <filter type="data_meta" ref="group_in" key="groups"/>
    </options>
</param>
```

This more advanced example, taken from Mothur's
[remove.linage.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/mothur/remove.lineage.xml)
tool demonstrates using filters to sort a list and remove duplicate entries.

```xml
<param name="taxonomy" type="data" format="mothur.cons.taxonomy" label="constaxonomy - Constaxonomy file. Provide either a constaxonomy file or a taxonomy file" help="please make sure your file has no quotation marks in it"/>
<param name="taxons" type="select" size="120" optional="true" multiple="true" label="Browse Taxons from Taxonomy">
    <options from_dataset="taxonomy">
        <column name="name" index="2"/>
        <column name="value" index="2"/>
        <filter type="unique_value" name="unique_taxon" column="2"/>
        <filter type="sort_by" name="sorted_taxon" column="2"/>
    </options>
    <sanitizer>
        <valid initial="default">
            <add preset="string.printable"/>
            <add value=";"/>
            <remove value="&quot;"/>
            <remove value="&apos;"/>
        </valid>
    </sanitizer>
</param>
```

This example taken from the
[hisat2](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/hisat2/hisat2.xml)
tool demonstrates filtering values from a tool data table.

```xml
<param help="If your genome of interest is not listed, contact the Galaxy team" label="Select a reference genome" name="index" type="select">
    <options from_data_table="hisat2_indexes">
        <filter column="2" type="sort_by" />
        <validator message="No genomes are available for the selected input dataset" type="no_options" />
    </options>
</param>
```

The
[gemini_load.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/gemini/gemini_load.xml)
tool demonstrates adding values to an option list using ``filter``s.

```xml
<param name="infile" type="data" format="vcf" label="VCF file to be loaded in the GEMINI database" help="Only build 37 (aka hg19) of the human genome is supported.">
    <options>
        <filter type="add_value" value="hg19" />
        <filter type="add_value" value="Homo_sapiens_nuHg19_mtrCRS" />
        <filter type="add_value" value="hg_g1k_v37" />
    </options>
</param>
```

While this fragment from maf_to_interval.xml demonstrates removing items.

```xml
<param name="species" type="select" label="Select additional species"
       display="checkboxes" multiple="true"
       help="The species matching the dbkey of the alignment is always included.
       A separate history item will be created for each species.">
    <options>
        <filter type="data_meta" ref="input1" key="species" />
        <filter type="remove_value" meta_ref="input1" key="dbkey" />
    </options>
</param>

This tag set is contained within the ``<outputs>`` tag set, and it defines the
output data description for the files resulting from the tool's execution. The
value of the attribute ``label`` can be acquired from input parameters or metadata
in the same way that the command line parameters are (discussed in the
<command> tag set section above).

### Examples

The following will create a variable called ``$out_file1`` with data type
``pdf``.

```xml
<outputs>
    <data format="pdf" name="out_file1" />
</outputs>
```

The valid values for format can be found in
[/config/datatypes_conf.xml.sample](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/config/datatypes_conf.xml.sample).

The following will create a dataset in the history panel whose data type is the
same as that of the input dataset selected (and named ``input1``) for the tool.

```xml
<outputs>
    <data format_source="input1" name="out_file1" metadata_source="input1"/>
</outputs>
```

The following will create datasets in the history panel, setting the output data
type to be the same as that of an input dataset named by the ``format_source``
attribute. Note that a conditional name is not included, so 2 separate
conditional blocks should not contain parameters with the same name.

```xml
<inputs>
    <!-- fasta may be an aligned fasta that subclasses Fasta -->
    <param name="fasta" type="data" format="fasta" label="fasta - Sequences"/>
    <conditional name="qual">
        <param name="add" type="select" label="Trim based on a quality file?" help="">
            <option value="no">no</option>
            <option value="yes">yes</option>
        </param>
        <when value="no"/>
        <when value="yes">
            <!-- qual454, qualsolid, qualillumina -->
            <param name="qfile" type="data" format="qual" label="qfile - a quality file"/>
        </when>
    </conditional>
</inputs>
<outputs>
    <data format_source="fasta" name="trim_fasta"
          label="${tool.name} on ${on_string}: trim.fasta"/>
    <data format_source="qfile" name="trim_qual"
          label="${tool.name} on ${on_string}: trim.qual">
        <filter>qual['add'] == 'yes'</filter>
    </data>
</outputs>
```

Assume that the tool includes an input parameter named ``database`` which is a
select list (as shown below). Also assume that the user selects the first option
in the ``$database`` select list. Then the following will ensure that the tool
produces a tabular data set whose associated history item has the label ``Blat
on Human (hg18)``.

```xml
<inputs>
    <param format="tabular" name="input" type="data" label="Input stuff"/>
    <param type="select" name="database" label="Database">
        <option value="hg18">Human (hg18)</option>
        <option value="dm3">Fly (dm3)</option>
    </param>
</inputs>
<outputs>
    <data format="input" name="output" label="Blat on ${database.value_label}" />
</outputs>
```

The ``<data>`` tag can contain a ``<filter>`` tag which includes a Python code
block to be executed to test whether to include this output in the outputs the
tool ultimately creates. If the code, when executed, returns ``True``,
the output dataset is retained. In these code blocks the tool parameters appear
as Python variables and are thus referred to without the $ used for the Cheetah
template (used in the ``<command>`` tag). Variables that are part of
conditionals are accessed using a hash named after the conditional.

The ``actions`` directive allows tools to dynamically take actions related to an
``output`` either unconditionally or conditionally based on inputs. These
actions currently include setting metadata values and the output's data format.

The examples below will demonstrate that the ``actions`` tag contains child
``conditional`` tags. The these conditionals are met, additional ``action``
directives below the conditional are apply to the ``data`` output.

### Metadata

The ``<actions>`` in the Bowtie 2 wrapper is used in lieu of the deprecated
``<code>`` tag to set the ``dbkey`` of the output dataset. In
[bowtie2_wrapper.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/bowtie2/bowtie2_wrapper.xml)
(see below), according to the first action block, if the
```reference_genome.source`` is ``indexed`` (not ``history``), then it will assign
the ``dbkey`` of the output file to be the same as that of the reference file. It
does this by looking at through the data table and finding the entry that has the
value that's been selected in the index dropdown box as column 1 of the loc file
entry and using the dbkey, in column 0 (ignoring comment lines (starting with #)
along the way).

If ``reference_genome.source`` is ``history``, it pulls the ``dbkey`` from the
supplied file.

```xml
<data format="bam" name="output" label="${tool.name} on ${on_string}: aligned reads (sorted BAM)">

        <action type="metadata" name="dbkey">

            <filter type="param_value" column="0" value="#" compare="startswith" keep="False"/>
            <filter type="param_value" ref="reference_genome.index" column="0"/>

        </action>
      </when>
    </conditional>
  </actions>
</data>
```

### Format

The Bowtie 2 example also demonstrates conditionally setting an output format
based on inputs, as shown below:

```xml
<data format="fastqsanger" name="output_unaligned_reads_r" label="${tool.name} on ${on_string}: unaligned reads (R)">
    <filter>( library['type'] == "paired" or library['type'] == "paired_collection" ) and library['unaligned_file'] is True</filter>
    <actions>
        <conditional name="library.type">
            <when value="paired">
                <action type="format">
                    <option type="from_param" name="library.input_2" param_attribute="ext" />
                </action>
            </when>
            <when value="paired_collection">
                <action type="format">
                    <option type="from_param" name="library.input_1" param_attribute="reverse.ext" />
                </action>
            </when>
        </conditional>
    </actions>
</data>
```

### Unconditional Actions - An Older Example

The first approach above to setting ``dbkey`` based on tool data tables is
prefered, but an older example using so called "loc files" directly is found
below.

In addition to demonstrating this lower-level direct access of .loc files, it
demonstrates an unconditional action. The second block would not be needed for
most cases - it was required in this tool to handle the specific case of a small
reference file used for functional testing. It says that if the dbkey has been
set to ``equCab2chrM`` (which is what the ```<filter type="metadata_value"...
column="1" />`` tag does), then it should be changed to ``equCab2`` (which is the
``<option type="from_param" ... column="0" ...>`` tag does).

```xml
<actions>
   <conditional name="refGenomeSource.genomeSource">
      <when value="indexed">
           <action type="metadata" name="dbkey">
            <option type="from_file" name="bowtie_indices.loc" column="0" offset="0">
               <filter type="param_value" column="0" value="#" compare="startswith" keep="False"/>
               <filter type="param_value" ref="refGenomeSource.index" column="1"/>
            </option>
         </action>
       </when>
    </conditional>
    <!-- Special casing equCab2chrM to equCab2 -->
    <action type="metadata" name="dbkey">
        <option type="from_param" name="refGenomeSource.genomeSource" column="0" offset="0">
            <filter type="insert_column" column="0" value="equCab2chrM"/>
            <filter type="insert_column" column="0" value="equCab2"/>
            <filter type="metadata_value" ref="output" name="dbkey" column="1" />
        </option>
    </action>
</actions>
```

This directive defines an environment variable that will be available when the
tool executes. The body should be a Cheetah template block that may reference
the tool's inputs as demonstrated below.

### Example

The following demonstrates a couple ``environment_variable`` definitions.

```xml
<environment_variables>
    <environment_variable name="INTVAR">$inttest</environment_variable>
    <environment_variable name="IFTEST">#if int($inttest) == 3
ISTHREE
#else#
NOTTHREE
#end if#</environment_variable>
    </environment_variables>
</environment_variables>
```

If these environment variables are used in another Cheetah context, such as in
the ``command`` block, the ``$`` used indicate shell expansion of a variable
should be escaped with a ``\`` so prevent it from being evaluated as a Cheetah
variable instead of shell variable.

```xml
<command>
    echo "\$INTVAR"  >  $out_file1;
    echo "\$IFTEST"  >> $out_file1;
</command>
```

This tag set is contained within the ``<configfiles>`` tag set. It allows for
the creation of a temporary file for file-based parameter transfer.

*Example*

The following is taken from the [xy_plot.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-devteam/blob/master/tools/xy_plot/xy_plot.xml)
tool config.

```xml
<configfiles>
    <configfile name="script_file">
      ## Setup R error handling to go to stderr
      options( show.error.messages=F, error = function () { cat( geterrmessage(), file=stderr() ); q( "no", 1, F ) } )
      ## Determine range of all series in the plot
      xrange = c( NULL, NULL )
      yrange = c( NULL, NULL )
      #for $i, $s in enumerate( $series )
          s${i} = read.table( "${s.input.file_name}" )
          x${i} = s${i}[,${s.xcol}]
          y${i} = s${i}[,${s.ycol}]
          xrange = range( x${i}, xrange )
          yrange = range( y${i}, yrange )
      #end for
      ## Open output PDF file
      pdf( "${out_file1}" )
      ## Dummy plot for axis / labels
      plot( NULL, type="n", xlim=xrange, ylim=yrange, main="${main}", xlab="${xlab}", ylab="${ylab}" )
      ## Plot each series
      #for $i, $s in enumerate( $series )
          #if $s.series_type['type'] == "line"
              lines( x${i}, y${i}, lty=${s.series_type.lty}, lwd=${s.series_type.lwd}, col=${s.series_type.col} )
          #elif $s.series_type.type == "points"
              points( x${i}, y${i}, pch=${s.series_type.pch}, cex=${s.series_type.cex}, col=${s.series_type.col} )
          #end if
      #end for
      ## Close the PDF file
      devname = dev.off()
    </configfile>
</configfiles>
```

This file is then used in the ``command`` block of the tool as follows:

```xml
<command>bash "$__tool_directory__/r_wrapper.sh" "$script_file"</command>
```

This tag set is contained within the <configfiles> tag set. It tells Galaxy to
write out a JSON representation of the tool parameters .

*Example*

The following will create a cheetah variable that can be evaluated as ``$inputs`` that
will contain the tool parameter inputs.

```xml
<configfiles>
    <inputs name="inputs" />
<configfiles>
```

The following will instead write the inputs to the tool's working directory with
the specified name (i.e. ``inputs.json``).

```xml
<configfiles>
    <inputs name="inputs" filename="inputs.json" />
<configfiles>
```

A contrived example of a tool that uses this is the test tool
[inputs_as_json.xml](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/test/functional/tools/inputs_as_json.xml).

    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation xml:lang="en"><![CDATA[Tools write the bulk of useful data to datasets, but they can also write messages to standard I/O (stdio) channels known as standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr). Both stdout and stderr are typically written to the executing program's console or terminal. Previous versions of Galaxy checked stderr for execution errors - if any text showed up on stderr, then the tool's execution was marked as failed. However, many tools write messages to stderr that are not errors, and using stderr allows programs to redirect other interesting messages to a separate file. Programs may also exit with codes that indicate success or failure. One convention is for programs to return 0 on success and a non-zero exit code on failure.

Legacy tools (ones with ``profile`` unspecified or a ``profile`` of less than
16.04) will default to checking stderr for errors as described above. Newer
tools will instead treat an exit code other than 0 as an error. The
``detect_error`` on ``command`` can swap between these behaviors but the
``stdio`` directive allows more options in defining error conditions (though
these aren't always intuitive).

With ``stdio`` directive, Galaxy can use regular expressions to scan stdout and
stderr, and it also allows exit codes to be scanned for ranges. The ``<stdio>``
tag has two subtags, ``<regex>`` and ``<exit_code>``, to define regular
expressions and exit code processing, respectively. They are defined below. If a
tool does not have any valid ``<regex>`` or ``<exit_code>`` tags, then Galaxy
will use the previous technique for finding errors.

A note should be made on the order in which exit codes and regular expressions
are applied and how the processing stops. Exit code rules are applied before
regular expression rules. The rationale is that exit codes are more clearly
defined and are easier to check computationally, so they are applied first. Exit
code rules are applied in the order in which they appear in the tool's
configuration file, and regular expressions are also applied in the order in
which they appear in the tool's configuration file. However, once a rule is
triggered that causes a fatal error, no further rules are
checked.]]></xs:documentation>

Tools may use exit codes to indicate specific execution errors. Many programs use 0 to indicate success and non-zero exit codes to indicate errors. Galaxy allows each tool to specify exit codes that indicate errors. Each <exit_code> tag defines a range of exit codes, and each range can be associated with a description of the error (e.g., "Out of Memory", "Invalid Sequence File") and an error level. The description just describes the condition and can be anything. The error level is either a warning or a fatal error. A warning means that stderr will be updated with the error's description. A fatal error means that the tool's execution will be marked as having an error and the workflow will stop. Note that, if the error level is not supplied, then a fatal error is assumed to have occurred.

The exit code's range can be any consecutive group of integers. More advanced ranges, such as noncontiguous ranges, are currently not supported. Ranges can be specified in the form "m:n", where m is the start integer and n is the end integer. If ":n" is specified, then the exit code will be compared against all integers less than or equal to n. If "m:" is used, then the exit code will be compared against all integers greater than or equal to m. If the exit code matches, then the error level is applied and the error's description is added to stderr. If a tool's exit code does not match any of the supplied <exit_code> tags' ranges, then no errors are applied to the tool's execution.

Note that most Unix and Linux variants only support positive integers 0 to 255 for exit codes. If an exit code falls out of the range 0 to 255, the usual convention is to only use the lower 8 bits for the exit code. The only known exception is if a job is broken into subtasks using the tasks runner and one of those tasks is stopped with a POSIX signal. (Note that signals should be used as a last resort for terminating processes.) In those cases, the task will receive -1 times the signal number. For example, suppose that a job uses the tasks runner and 8 tasks are created for the job. If one of the tasks hangs, then a sysadmin may choose to send the "kill" signal, SIGKILL, to the process. In that case, the task (and its job) will exit with an exit code of -9. More on POSIX signals can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal as well as man pages on "signal".

The <exit_code> tag's supported attributes are as follows:

* ``range``: This indicates the range of exit codes to check. The range can be one of the following:
  * ``n``: the exit code will only be compared to n;
  * ``[m:n]``: the exit code must be greater than or equal to m and less than or equal to n;
  * ``[m:]``: the exit code must be greater than or equal to m;
  * ``[:n]``: the exit code must be less than or equal to n.
* ``level``: This indicates the error level of the exit code. The level can have one of two values:
  * ``warning``: If an exit code falls in the given range, then a description of the error will be added to the beginning of stderr. A warning-level error will not cause the tool to fail.
  * ``fatal``: If an exit code falls in the given range, then a description of the error will be added to the beginning of stderr. A fatal-level error will cause the tool to fail. If no level is specified, then the fatal error level will be assumed to have occurred.
* ``description``: This is an optional description of the error that corresponds to the exit code.

The following is an example of the <exit_code> tag:

```xml
<stdio>
    <exit_code range="2"   level="fatal"   description="Out of Memory" />
    <exit_code range="3:5" level="warning" description="Low disk space" />
    <exit_code range="6:"  level="fatal"   description="Bad input dataset" />
</stdio>
```

If the tool returns 0 or 1, then the tool will not be marked as having an error.
If the exit code is 2, then the tool will fail with the description ``Out of
Memory`` added to stderr. If the tool returns 3, 4, or 5, then the tool will not
be marked as having failed, but ``Low disk space`` will be added to stderr.
Finally, if the tool returns any number greater than or equal to 6, then the
description ``Bad input dataset`` will be added to stderr and the tool will be
marked as having failed.

  <xs:complexType name="Regex">
    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation xml:lang="en"><![CDATA[
A regular expression defines a pattern of characters. The patterns include the following:

* ``GCTA``, which matches on the fixed string "GCTA";
* ``[abcd]``, which matches on the characters a, b, c, or d;
* ``[CG]{12}``, which matches on 12 consecutive characters that are C or G;
* ``a.*z``, which matches on the character "a", followed by 0 or more characters of any type, followed by a "z";
* ``^X``, which matches the letter X at the beginning of a string;
* ``Y$``, which matches the letter Y at the end of a string.

There are many more possible regular expressions. A reference to all supported
regular expressions can be found under
[Python Regular Expression Syntax](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax).

A regular expression includes the following attributes:

* ``source``: This tells whether the regular expression should be matched against stdout, stderr, or both. If this attribute is missing or is incorrect, then both stdout and stderr will be checked. The source can be one of the follwing values:
  * ``stdout``: the regular expression will be applied to stdout;
  * ``stderr``: the regular expression will be applied to stderr;
  * ``both``: the regular expression will be applied to both stderr and stdout (which is the default case).
* ``match``: This is the regular expression that will be used to match against stdout and/or stderr. If the <regex> tag does not contain the match attribute, then the <regex> tag will be ignored. The regular expression can be any valid Python regular expression. All regular expressions are performed case insensitively. For example, if match contains the regular expression "actg", then the regular expression will match against "actg", "ACTG", "AcTg", and so on. Also note that, if double quotes (") are to be used in the match attribute, then the value " can be used in place of double quotes. Likewise, if single quotes (') are to be used in the match attribute, then the value ' can be used if necessary.
* ``level``: This works very similarly to the <exit_code> tag, except that, when a regular expression matches against its source, the description is added to the beginning of the source. For example, if stdout matches on a regular expression, then the regular expression's description is added to the beginning of stdout (instead of stderr). The level can be log, warning or fatal as described below.
 * ``log`` and ``warning``: If the regular expression matches against its source input (i.e., stdout and/or stderr), then a description of the error will be added to the beginning of the source, prepended with either 'Log:' or 'Warning:'. A log-level/warning-level error will not cause the tool to fail.
 * ``fatal``: If the regular expression matches against its source input, then a description of the error will be added to the beginning of the source. A fatal-level error will cause the tool to fail. If no level is specified, then the fatal error level will be assumed to have occurred.
* ``description``: Just like its ``exit_code`` counterpart, this is an optional description of the regular expression that has matched.

The following is an example of regular expressions that may be used:

```xml
<stdio>
    <regex match="low space"
           source="both"
           level="warning"
           description="Low space on device" />
    <regex match="error"
           source="stdout"
           level="fatal"
           description="Unknown error encountered" />
    <regex match="[CG]{12}"
           description="Fatal error - CG island 12 nts long found" />
    <regex match="^Branch A"
           level="warning"
           description="Branch A was taken in execution" />
</stdio>
```

The regular expression matching proceeds as follows. First, if either stdout or
stderr match on ``low space``, then a warning is registered. If stdout contained
the string ``---LOW SPACE---``, then stdout has the string ``Warning: Low space
on device`` added to its beginning. The same goes for if stderr had contained the
string ``low space``. Since only a warning could have occurred, the processing
continues.

Next, the regular expression ``error`` is matched only against stdout. If stdout
contains the string ``error`` regardless of its capitalization, then a fatal
error has occurred and the processing stops. In that case, stdout would be
prepended with the string ``Fatal: Unknown error encountered``. Note that, if
stderr contained ``error``, ``ERROR``, or ``ErRor`` then it would not matter -
stderr was not being scanned.

If the second regular expression did not match, then the third regular
expression is checked. The third regular expression does not contain an error
level, so an error level of ``fatal`` is assumed. The third regular expression
also does not contain a source, so both stdout and stderr are checked. The third
regular expression looks for 12 consecutive "C"s or "G"s in any order and in
uppercase or lowercase. If stdout contained ``cgccGGCCcGGcG`` or stderr
contained ``CCCCCCgggGGG``, then the regular expression would match, the tool
would be marked with a fatal error, and the stream that contained the
12-nucleotide CG island would be prepended with ``Fatal: Fatal error - CG island
12 nts long found``.

Finally, if the tool did not match any of the fatal errors, then the fourth
regular expression is checked. Since no source is specified, both stdout and
stderr are checked. If ``Branch A`` is at the beginning of stdout or stderr, then
a warning will be registered and the source that contained ``Branch A`` will be
prepended with the warning ``Warning: Branch A was taken in execution``.

If the data type of the output dataset is the specified type, the data type is
changed to the desired type.

### Examples

Assume that your tool config includes the following select list parameter
structure:

```xml
<param name="out_format" type="select" label="Output data type">
    <option value="fasta">FASTA</option>
    <option value="interval">Interval</option>
</param>
```

Then whenever the user selects the ``interval`` option from the select list, the
following structure in your tool config will override the ``format="fasta"`` setting
in the ``<data>`` tag set with ``format="interval"``.

```xml
<outputs>
    <data format="fasta" name="out_file1">
        <change_format>
            <when input="out_format" value="interval" format="interval" />
        </change_format>
    </data>
</outputs>
```
