Problems installing from the Main tool shed

[kjetilkl]

Selecting the "https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ " tool shed on the "Install and Uninstall" Admin page on the production server will no longer display a list of the categories from the tool shed but rather show the error message:

TypeError: t.categories.reduce is not a function

This makes it currently impossible to install new tools from the Main tool shed via the Admin page.

• The error only occurs when selecting the Main tool shed and not for the NeLS tool shed
• The test server is not affected

I used the Developer Tools in the chrome web browser to see the network traffic and view the HTTP responses. I seems that selecting the Main tool shed will return our own maintenance page rather than the correct JSON response from the tool shed. Compare the same API calls from prod and test:

• https://usegalaxy.no/api/tool_shed/request?tool_shed_url=https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/&controller=categories
• https://test.usegalaxy.no/api/tool_shed/request?tool_shed_url=https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/&controller=categories

On the other hand, the API call on prod works for NeLS tool shed

• https://usegalaxy.no/api/tool_shed/request?tool_shed_url=https://galaxy-ntnu.bioinfo.no/toolshed_nels/&controller=categories

It seems that an old error response had gotten stuck in my cache
