Hi, I have come across a problem with how import configurations are autodetected, and wanted to check with the list whether this is an issue with my code or a genuine bug in the API.
I am trying to autodetect in my code plugin configs that are suitable for importing raw data from a given file. I supply a reference to the file I want to import, open a stream from it, and then call RawDataFlatFileImporter.isImportable(): //this is the importer plugin RawDataFlatFileImporter importer = plugin.newInstance(RawDataFlatFileImporter.class,null, sc, config, null); //get a stream from the file InputStream in = file.getDownloadStream(0); //check for importability if (importer.isImportable(in)) { configs.add(config); } Now that returns import configs that definitely do not (and should not) work. This could be a problem with how I have coded this of course but more likely I think it is a problem with API since I seem to be getting the same problem when I try to manually import data into a raw bioassay and I get a choice of several configs, some of which do not work. The BASE source uses similar code in this context (I have, in fact, ripped it off from there.... :-) and it makes me think there is a problem with the isImportable method. Please let me know if you think this is a proper bug and I'll file in the bug tracker system. I am using BASE 2.3.0. thanks Micha ================================== Dr Micha M Bayer Bioinformatics Specialist Genetics Programme The Scottish Crop Research Institute Invergowrie Dundee DD2 5DA Scotland, UK Telephone +44(0)1382 562731 ext. 2309 Fax +44(0)1382 562426 http://www.scri.sari.ac.uk/MichaBayer.htm ============================= _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ SCRI, Invergowrie, Dundee, DD2 5DA.
