This update (BaseMount v0.14) includes:

• Move-to-trash and restore-from-trash
• Refresh command
• New bm-cmd tool, a shorter alias for basemount-cmd
• Moved passphrase encryption to –passphrase

As always, you can install or update BaseMount using the command line

sudo bash -c "$(curl -L https://basemount.basespace.illumina.com/install)"

More details can be found on the following pages:

• BaseMount website
• BaseMount help page

Moving BaseSpace Sequence Hub Entities to the Trash

A series of basemount-cmd operations now allow you to control the trash:

• move-to-trash: Delete current entity
  Available in: project, run, sample, appresult and appsession entities
• move-to-trash-preserve-metadata: Delete only the Data directory from the run, preserving the entity and the other files
  Available in: run entities
• restore-from-trash: Restore entity to main account
  Available in: .Trash/{entity-name} directories

Important note: If you previously authenticated with an older version of BaseMount, your stored access token may not contain the scope needed for trash operations.
To fix this, you need to delete your current configuration (by using basemount --remove-config [--config=<config>]) and run BaseMount again to re-authenticate.

Demo

Here is a quick example to create a project, move it to the trash and restore it from the trash:

# Force reauthentication to get TRASH capabilities
# Only needed the first time you use this new version
basemount --remove-config

# Mount your BaseSpace account
mkdir BaseSpace
basemount BaseSpace

# Create new project
cd BaseSpace/Projects
mkdir myNewProject

# Move project to the trash
basemount-cmd --path myNewProject move-to-trash # or simply: rmdir myNewProject

# View project in the trash
ls -ld ../.Trash/myNewProject

# Restore project from the trash
basemount-cmd --path ../.Trash/myNewProject restore-from-trash

Refresh is Here!

Yes, finally! You can now run basemount-cmd refresh (or its shorter alias bm-cmd r<tab><tab>) to force-reload the information shown in your current directory from the BaseSpace Sequence Hub server.

This is useful if you create entities outside BaseMount (for example if you create a project using the website) and want to use them in an already-mounted BaseMount directory.

This command is available in the Projects, Runs and .Trash directories and their sub-directories.
