[chimera-dev] chimerax - registering an external tool problem

[Wolfgang Lugmayr]

dear chimera developers,

i'm currently porting one of our chimera 1.x plugins called starmap to chimerax.

basic questions:
1. should the package be e.g. chimerax-starmap or just starmap?
2. is there a recommended way when i should upload to the toolshed repository?

my current problem:
i use chimerax's python3.5 pip to install and remove my tests.
my test package is called chimerax.starmapx (+.__init.py__)

i had a look at your toolshed and added test categories like follows to the metadata (installed version):
Classifier: ChimeraX :: Bundle :: Volume data :: 1,1 :: chimerax.starmap :: chimerax.starmap ::
Classifier: ChimeraX :: Tool :: StarMapX :: Volume data :: Run Rosetta refinements
Classifier: ChimeraX :: Command :: apix :: Volume data :: Run Rosetta apix
Requires-Dist: ChimeraX-Core (>=0.1)
Requires-Dist: pyparsing

i also used "General" instead of "Volume data" for debugging.

i have overriden the BundleAPI get_class, start_tools, register_command similar to blastprotein.

unfortunatly my test plugin never shows up in chimerax (e.g. ts list) and the command "stm apix" is not registered.

i debugged the toolshed (standalone - not in chimerax) and if i print the contents of line 720 - end of_load_bundle_infos()
i get
...using SteamVR]], ChimeraX-StarMap (installed) [version: 0.1.2] [api package: chimerax.starmap] [category: Volume data] [tool: StarMap [categories: Volume data] [synopsis: Run Rosetta refinements]] [command: apix [categories: Volume data] [synopsis: Run Rosetta refinements]], ChimeraX-Stringdb (installed) [version: 0.1]...
and a little bit before
('checking', <InstalledDistribution 'ChimeraX-StarMap' 0.1.2 at '/projects/marlovits/lugmayr/workspace/ChimeraX/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ChimeraX_StarMap-0.1.2.dist-info'>)

do i miss something during the registration process?

cheers,
wolfgang
