Hi John,
Yes, I think this should work as I have seen it work for another binary type I
made before. See below:
class FileSet( Binary ):
"""FileSet containing N files"""
file_ext = "prims.fileset.zip"
blurb = "(zipped) FileSet containing multiple files"
def sniff( self, filename ):
# If the zip file contains multiple files then return true, false
otherwise:
zf = zipfile.ZipFile(filename)
if (len(zf.infolist())>1):
return True
else :
return False
# the if is just for backwards compatibility...could remove this at some point
if hasattr(Binary, 'register_sniffable_binary_format'):
Binary.register_sniffable_binary_format('FileSet', 'prims.fileset.zip',
FileSet)
Now the question I have is: what would be a good logic to use in the sniff
method? I need something that uniquely distinguishes this zipped file from
other zip files, right? In the previous example above I found a solution by
checking whether the zip file has multiple files inside and return true if this
is the case. Now with RData, does it mean I have to try to parse the binary
contents inside and come with a good heuristic/rule ? Just wondering if someone
already has thought about such a rule, specifically for RData.
Thanks,
Pieter.

Hey Pieter,
Sorry I am swamped right now so I don't have time to dig into this in detail
- but I have encountered this before with datatypes that are compressed -
zipped, gzipped, etc.... Galaxy will attempt to decompress them in order to
figure out what they are. I believe this is what is happening to your data. If
you register the type as a sniffable binary it looks like it should skip the
decompression though
- unless I am reading this logic wrong in tools/data_source/upload.py
https://gist.github.com/jmchilton/54b5d7485fcd16eec984.
E.g. like bam datatypes:
class Bam( Binary ):
....
Binary.register_sniffable_binary_format("bam", "bam", Bam)
Have you registered a sniffable binary datatype for RData?
-John
