It looks like the UI for this has significantly changed in 21.09. I can now import paths from CVMFS by pasting the full path with file:// prefix. I am not sure what direction the UI is going in and this issue may no longer be relevant.
Describe the bug I have configured Galaxies
library_import_dir
config option to point at/cvmfs
. Opening the GUI menu to import a directory into a library, the file listing never appears. Opening the browser inspector shows that the api request for the folder listing times out (http://localhost:49164/api/remote_files?target=importdir&format=jstree&disable=folders
).I have also tried specifying
/cvmfs/genomes.pseudomonas.com/
and/cvmfs/genomes.pseudomonas.com/sequences
as well as ensuring that the repository is mounted by listing the files outside of Galaxy.Changing
library_import_dir
to any other folder outside of cvmfs does successfully list the directory contents for import.No error appears in the log despite the request timing out.
Galaxy Version and/or server at which you observed the bug Galaxy Version: 21.01 Commit:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Install CVMFS client and mount a repo. Set
library_import_dir
to/cvmfs
and restart. Go to the import menu for a shared data folder.Expected behavior It should list the cvmfs repo contents.

Additional context If the server is attempting to do a full recursive listing of the import dir, that is not good as there are likely millions of files at the deepest level. I'd recommend a breadth first search at each recursion depth with a upper limit. When the limit is reached you should rerequest a recursive listing of the folder when the user tries to expand it.
