Description
Situation: When a user clicks on View in IGB, BioViz Connect checks to see if IGB is currently running. If IGB is not running, a toast stating "Error, IGB not running" appears. This is somewhat confusing to users as it does not lead the user to the IGB downloads page or provide additional information for how to get IGB running.
Task: Instead of the toast, use a popup/alert/message (similar to the make file public alert) when a user clicks View in IGB and IGB is not running. The notification should inform the user that IGB must be running to view the data, if they have not installed IGB they can download it from Bioviz. Include an OK button that closes out the notification and a button that links to https://www.bioviz.org/download.html in case they need to download IGB. This should make it more clear to the user what they need to view data in IGB and provide them a direct route to download IGB.

Also please see linked issue IGBF-2386.
Instead of simply linking to the IGB downloads page (https://www.bioviz.org/download.html) you could engineer a direct link to the installer for the user's platform. This would save a few clicks for them.
Needs testing in Mac, Linux and Windows if the correct installer is being downloaded. I tested for Windows 64
I was not able to recreate the error that appeared in Dr. Freese where IGB was running and the error message appeared nevertheless. I believe this issue needs testing in other systems to verify.
I tested again on Mac with both Chrome and Firefox using IGB 9.1.4.
Everything appears to be working correctly, when IGB is not running, BioViz Connect shows modal informing user to stat IGB or download (downloads mac specific IGB installer). If IGB is running opens data in IGB.
This issue needs final testing on linux.
On Linux:
Go to https://chaitanya.bioviz.org/
Log in using the credential that I messaged you.
Double click on the testFiles folder to open it.
*Make sure IGB is NOT running.
Click on the View in IGB button for the file Bam_HomoSapien.bam
You should see the message: Warning: IGB is not Running
Click on the Download Now button.
Check that the correct IGB installer is downloaded for Linux (IGB_unix_current.sh).
Start IGB.
In BioViz Connect, click on the View in IGB green button again for the file Bam_HomoSapien.bam
Data should load in IGB.
Important things to make sure work:
When IGB is not running, clicking View in IGB shows popup to user.
When user clicks download, the correct linux IGB installer is downloaded.
When IGB is running, clicking View in IGB loads data in IGB (no popup saying IGB is not running).
Testing details
When IGB is not running
Warning popup appears when Igb is not running attached screenshot
The downloaded script name is: IGB_unix_current.sh
When IGB is running
On clicking view in the browser automatically loads data into IGB
no warning popup appears
Let's use the same type of thing seen on the Genome Dashboard. If you click a genome picture, a modal dialog appears.
Please have the link open a new page and show the bioviz.org IGB Downloads page.
To see what I mean, visit:
and click an image.
Also, please note that BioViz Connect should use a better-worded message that is a bit more user-friendly than "IGB Service not running" (currently shown in Genome Dashboard.)
