Errors in running spikeinterface_gui on Mac #62

Open rohanmalige opened 5 months ago

rohanmalige commented 5 months ago

@mandarmp and I were trying to run the spikeinterface_gui locally on MacOS, we are using Xquartz to run the GUI and the error we got is: rohan@rohans-mbp-3 ~ % sigui /Users/rohan/Documents/Research/MEA_Analysis/AnalyzedData/CDKL5/CDKL5/230310/16757/Network/000033/waveforms_good Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/rohan/Library/Python/3.11/bin/sigui", line 5, in from spikeinterface_gui.main import run_mainwindow_cli File "/Users/rohan/Library/Python/3.11/lib/python/site-packages/spikeinterface_gui/init.py", line 8, in from .mainwindow import MainWindow File "/Users/rohan/Library/Python/3.11/lib/python/site-packages/spikeinterface_gui/mainwindow.py", line 170, in 'right' : QT.Qt.RightDockWidgetArea, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: type object 'Qt' has no attribute 'RightDockWidgetArea'. Did you mean: 'DockWidgetArea'?

Can you help us out with what steps we need to take to solve the issue?

Hi, thanks for the feedback. How did you installed QT ? Is it with anaconda ? Do you PyQt5, PyQt6 or PySide6 ?

spikeinterface-gui is mainly tested on PySide6

I installed QT without an anaconda. I installed PyQT6. Do you recommend using anaconda for mac? is PySide6 necessary for running the spikeinterface_gui?

samuelgarcia commented 4 months ago

It is PySide6 or PyQt6 or PyQt5. DO not try to install two of then on the same envirenoement it will be a total mess. I have to admit that PyQt6 is not realy tested. Could you try to remove PyQt6 and use PyQt5 instead ?

Exception: The recording could not be loaded. You can use the `with_recording=False` argument

I installed the PyQT5 instead of PyQt6, re-run the above command, and got the errors. Is there any specific way that the waveforms need to be stored?
