Tool form banner alert "There is a newer version of this tool" for re-run jobs is not displaying anymore

[jennaj]

The above is missing now. This was useful info. Possible to get it back?

I wonder if the newer pop-ups that state "when a tool versions switch" occurs are related.

@guerler or @carlfeberhard ?

The tool panel now also loads the older version of the tool instead of the newer one. Users are reporting problems with the older tool version for certain use-cases.

Could we adjust the tool panel settings for all VCF Mani tools to make sure the most current wrapper version is loading?

Example:

Old version: VCF-VCFintersect: Intersect two VCF datasets (Galaxy Version 0.0.3)

Updated version: VCF-VCFintersect: Intersect two VCF datasets (Galaxy Version 1.0.0_rc1+galaxy0)

For end-users: Make sure to use updated tool version or errors may come up.

@guerler did you figure anything out on this one? If not, want to brief me and I'll take care of it?

[guerler]

Sounds good.

The VFC-VCF intersect tool is still in the tool panel twice, is not found with a search, the older version does not point to the newer version, and the newer version does not have a "Versions" menu.

Most problems are at both .org and .eu. (.eu does have a versions menu, but the older tool is what is launched from the tool panel). Same for other VCF* tools. Seems like a combination of issues with those unrelated to the original, more general versions warning issue.

I'll make a distinct issue ticket against the tool repo (and playbook for tool panel dups/final testing of this once on main) and link those back here to keep all distinct.

Update tools launch with the latest version now (did a double check using 18.09 release at .org), thanks!
