OK, having tried the new code (merged into my tools branch), the histories with these problem entries now show up in the right hand pane - the only hint of a problem is in the logs, e.g. galaxy.webapps.galaxy.api.history_contents ERROR 2013-01-23 16:38:52,802 Error in history API at listing contents with history ebfb8f50c6abde6d, hda 8c59bbd49fe7aae1: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects This is consistent with the original exception (which my patch caught and logged) where both the name and val where None. So we don't know how these None values got into the database, but the user interface handles this gracefully now :) Thanks, Peter ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
