Create galaxy local toolshed using Planemo

Question

I tried to create galaxy local toolshed using planemo. I used command as follows,

1. create virtual env

   virtualenv .venv; .venv/bin/activate
   

2. Install planemo

   pip install planemo
   

3. To configuring a shed account

   planemo config_init
   

4. Create a repository

   planemo shed_init --name=seqtk_seq \
                     --owner=planemo \
                     --description=seqtk_seq \
                     --long_description="Tool that converts FASTQ 
                                         to FASTA files using seqtk" \
                     --category="Fastq Manipulation"
   planemo shed_create --shed_target local
   

This produces the following error:

Failed to include files for [{'source': '**'}]
Problem encountered executing action for one or more repositories.

Answer 1

--shed_target local will only work if you're running a Galaxy toolshed on your local computer, since it's reading the .shed.yaml file you made with planemo shed_init and trying to create a repository with that name or a local (in this case) server. Planemo itself won't start a Galaxy toolshed, since it's fairly unusual for people to want to do testing involving creating local repositories. What you probably want to do instead is use planemo test instead. Once the planemo testing passes then use the various shed* commands to upload your wrapper to the toolshed or testtoolshed.
