When testing IGBF-510 Dr. Freese and I found that my Windows 10 machine was not loading local quickloads normally.
Today I created new copies of the E. unicornis files tested in IGBF-510,
expanded the annots.xml file based on the wiki,
and added a spicies.txt file.

It was not loading any genomic data in IGB 9.1.6 but was showing data from the contents.txt and genome.txt files.
Changing the direction of the / characters,
checking that tabs were used to separate text content,
moving the files within the local quickload,
or adding/removing content from the quickload files did not fix the problem.

I moved the local quickload folder from my two-word user name file path down to the C drive and it began working normally.
I then moved it up one level to "Program Files", a folder containing a space in the name, and the local quickload stopped working.
I moved it to another folder with a path not containing any spaces and the local quickload began working again.

Without spaces anywhere in the file path, local quickloads work on Windows 10.
Tested on both IGB 9.1.6 and 9.1.8.

I will now work on creating a wiki page for testing the local quickload function on IGB releases by modifying the instructions from the wiki IGB user's guide.

Document for testing local quickload: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n2xWo_ZzCvGeVbzFinH7rSu0b33Jf_9A52He8g47Y_k/edit?usp=sharing

Next I am looking to see where the most appropriate location for this in the IGB Release Documentation Subsystems would be.
The Data Provider page briefly involves testing remote quickloads. Since it is already a pretty long page I think adding the local quickload testing would make it too long.

I also wanted to make sure that it was okay to leave out synonyms.txt from the testing.

We also need to see if these instructions closely relate to those of Quickload Saver that Dr. Freese is working on.

Draft document is updated and complete: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n2xWo_ZzCvGeVbzFinH7rSu0b33Jf_9A52He8g47Y_k/edit?usp=sharing

Please review that the instructions are easy to follow and that we are testing everything we intend to test.

Logan Weidenhammer - can you attach the quickload files to this jira ticket that will be part of the testing page?

Nowlan Freese,
The maximum file size on a Jira ticket file upload is 10mb and the 2bit file is almost 28mb compressed.
So I have uploaded a zip file containing all of the files except for the E_unicornis_Jul_2015.2bit file named "LocalQuickload-Without2bitFile.zip"
along with the other individual files.

The entire set of files is available on BioViz Connect here: https://data.cyverse.org/dav-anon/iplant/home/rweidenh/LocalQuickload

I also have them on google drive here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ikK-YenkCiKr3lb8Rq-s3wJDv7E_YNun/view?usp=sharing

wiki.transvar does accept attachments this large, so it shouldn't be a problem there.

I made a zip folder with two quickloads (quickload.zip). One quickload is for testing absolute paths and the other relative. I would like to use these for the local quickload release documentation.

This issue is blocked until the completion of IGBF-2820

Local Quickload (relative path) release testing documentation is complete: https://wiki.transvar.org/display/ITD/Local+Quickload

Tested on Mac.

Closing issue.
