SNPedia link not loading

Dear developers,

I started up my oldish Scout instance from last year for teaching, and it mostly seems to work fine, with the exception of SNPedia links not showing up in the Summary box after clicking a variant.

Do you know if SNPedia has changed API/interface recently? Anything I can do to fix this?

It seems like SNPedia is normally loaded via a HTML page:

blueprints/variant/templates/variant/variant.html

Some more, possibly quite stupid questions.

Changing the HTML code in variant.html does not appear to lead to any visible changes on the actual page after restarting the server.

Is content for the scout app cached somewhere so that I need to force a reload from source for edits to take effect?

Is there some other resource I should modify rather than the variant.html page if I want to force a visible change on that page / debug my SNPedia issue?

I run scout using gunicorn, if that makes any difference.

Cheers!

Yay! Open source FTW!

Hi @andreaswallberg I remember there was some issue with SNPedia, see issue #2460. It’s fixed now. As for the other message, it’s also fixed (see issue #2760 and #2679). Have you tried installing the latest version of Scout?

Regarding the OMIM key, it is important for assigning OMIM diagnoses to a case and for the gene-phenotype associations. OMIM people could be quite slow to answer if you apply for a key from this page: https://www.omim.org/api, but if you contact them explaining what’s the problem (from here: https://www.omim.org/contact) they should answer in a couple of days or so!
