Task:

• The Javascript is defined in the script tag on the bioviz download page specified above, therefore the first task would be to extract it to a .js file so that it can be used/resued by any other application.
• The Download Now button on Genome Dashboard resides inside a modal, Updating the link that the button is pointing to will complete this task.

Thanks for the guidance Sameer Shanbhag !

Also, see code implemented by Karthik for BioViz connect.

[~aloraine], would you prefer that the subtitle link and the button both link directly to the installer or just the latter?

Thanks for asking. Because the subtitle link label is "Integrated Genome Browser," it should continue to open the download page in a new window as it currently does.

Sounds good, I left it as is. Please see my changes here:
https://bitbucket.org/pbadzuh/genome-dashboard_pbdev/commits/79227ba1f8f20982196ca7faa2a5b37e8dde14b0

Code looks good. Please proceed to submit PR.

The popup looks as shown in updated_popup.png

Deployed to https://test.bioviz.org/genome-dashboard and ready for testing.

Testing https://test.bioviz.org/genome-dashboard on Mac with chrome.

IGB not running.
Clicking on genome presents popup.
Clicking Download Now successfully downloads the correct installer for Mac (IGB_macos_current.dmg).

[~aloraine] should this issue be tested on Windows/Linux before closing?

When is the dashboard checking to see if IGB is running?

On https://test.bioviz.org/genome-dashboard, if I load the dashboard page when IGB is not running, then start IGB, then click on a genome in the dashboard, I get the popup informing me to start IGB. I have to refresh the page for it to load the genome in IGB.

If I have IGB running when I load the dashboard page, then close IGB, then click on a genome in the dashboard, I receive a notification that "This site can’t be reached".

Is it possible to check if IGB is running each time a genome is clicked?

yes - should be tested on Windows and Linux as well.

Yes, this absolutely should be done.

Could you create user story (ticket) for that?

cc: Nowlan Freese

Created IGBF-2407 and linked to this issue.

Post merge testing:
Clicking "Install IGB" after trying to load a genome version on IGB from the "Genome Versions" tab on Genome Dashboard directly loads installer window with the correct operating system of the user.

• Tested on both Windows 10 64-bit and MacOS.

Steps I took to confirm this on Windows 10 64-bit :
1. Made sure IGB was not running in the background
2. Visited the Genome Dashboard @ https://www.bioviz.org/genome-dashboard
3. Clicked on Genome Versions at the bottom of a card
4. Clicked on "View on IGB" (was asked to download IGB if I didn't have it)
5. Clicked on "Install IGB"
6. The Genome Dashboard successfully tried to download IGB with the correct operating system.

• I took the same steps on a MacOS machine and everything worked as intended

From an earlier comment by [~aloraine], this needs to be tested on a Linux machine as well before closing

• I will be installing Linux on a virtual machine soon for personal reasons and would test this feature there as soon as possible.

Ubuntu Testing
Followed Up on the same step done by Jay
On Clicking the Install IGB an executable script IGB_unix_current.sh is downloaded.

While executing the script I got the below message

chester@chester-Inspiron-5537:~/Downloads$ ./IGB_unix_current.sh 
Unpacking JRE ...
Starting Installer ...
Gtk-Message: 11:15:38.918: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

Is this expected [~aloraine] , Nowlan Freese? The script executes successfully though and installs the IGB application which works.

Since the install actually happens and IGB can run, closing this ticket.
