When I was investigating I found out that the test case which is expecting to give an error when selecting "Arabidopsis thaliana" is written because of this https://jira.bioviz.org/browse/IGBF-2287?focusedCommentId=27078&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-27078 as there is an expectation for this database to work only for few species. But when I debug the test case, I found out that the NCBI primer is giving a response when this organism is selected. [~aloraine] Should it give an error for this particular one? Also, I tried this in the NCBI primer website using the primer blast tool to do the primer calculation through the website and it worked for this organism. Below is the results screenshot.

As discussed, added a random name for the organism to check the failure case. Below is the branch where the changes are present.

Testing on Mac
Able to build NCBI Primer app locally using Sravani's IGBF-3483. Code looks good.

Ready for pull request.

Sidenote: It seems odd that we have a hardcoded list of genomes for which the genome_selected_species (Genomes for selected eukaryotic organisms) is available. It looks like NCBI has added many additional genomes, thus it may be difficult for this app to keep up.

Pull request submitted: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/ncbi-primer/pull-requests/3

The logger code needs to be updated:

logger.info("Test for database : genome_selected_species, Organism : Arabidopsis thaliana  ");

because the organism is no longer Arabidopsis thaliana.

Made the changes, squashed the commits, and created a new Pull Request. https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/ncbi-primer/pull-requests/4

Merged to master branch. Artifact built successfully. Moving to DONE.
