[Bug]: New matnwb not reading files

fsantamaria commented 1 day ago

What happened?

I upgraded matlab and downloaded the latest mantnwb (2.7.0). I added the path ($HOME/matnwb). When I type w=nwbRead('myfyle.nwb) I get this error. I have tried using gerneateExtensions for 2.7.0 and 2.6.0 (my files in older version), but maybe I'm doing this incorrectly . I use this to generateExtensions generateExtension('$HOME/matnwb/nwb-schema/2.7.0/core/nwb.namespace.yaml'). Am I doing something wrong?

Steps to Reproduce

git clone https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/matnwb.git
In matlab
addpath()
w=nwbRead(myfile)

Hi @fsantamaria, how did you (or someone else) generate the NWB file that you cannot read? Would it be possible for you to send us one of the files that generates this error? It would help us investigate the issue. The issue seems to be with validating the file_create_date value.

fsantamaria commented 1 day ago

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I just generated a file with a minimum of data points. FYI, I'm running simulations in Neuron Python and saving the results in nwb. Because of legacy issues and my expertise I then upload in matlab for analsyis.

Here's the file and just confirmed that generates the same error message.

Thanks for the help.

Best, Fidel

Hi,

I brought my previous version of matnwb (2.6.0) from my backup. Just copied it directly. It is able to read the files. Of course, it sends a warning when trying to read the recent files I created in python with 2.7.0.

Hi,

I am not able to find the file you attached. Is it possible to either upload the file to a google drive/dropbox and create a shared link ?

Thanks for sharing the file!

I am able to open it in MATLAB R2023b, using both an older version of matnwb and the newest version from GitHub. However, I get the same error as you when I use MATLAB R2024b, and this is due to a breaking change in the ind2sub function introduced with MATLAB R2024.

I unfortunately can not propose a fix right now, but will work on this tomorrow. In the mean time, you could try using an older release of MATLAB if this is available to you.

Thanks for figuring this out. I'll check if I can download an older version.

Sorry, forgot to mention. I am able to open the files in 2024b using the older version of matnwb (2.6.0). Hope this info helps.

That is interesting. Did you use the exact same file? I tried the same, but for me this did not work (of course, I might have a different version of matnwb, but based on the error and the cause of the error I am curious to understand how you could open the file without error using an older version of matnwb).

I added a proposed fix on this branch: https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/matnwb/tree/601-fix-ind2sub-with-scalar-size

You could try it out and let us know if it works. I will update you when this is merged to main.
