Hi, thanks for checking out our tool and for digging into this bug! I agree, I think it's a protobuf problem due to a recent update from their end, which gets called by ethnicolr. I'll try forcing a downgrade for protobuf as that thread suggests, but it'll take a while for the Binder to rebuild. Hoping to have this resolved by tomorrow and will reply with an update.
Should be resolved now. Thanks again!
No worries! Thank you!
Hello,
I'm trying to use this tool for the first time but running into a bit of an issue in the first cell. I'd uploaded a very basic
.bib
with a single entry and got an error (below). Then I tried using the example.bib
used within/diversityStatement
under the assumption that if any file should work, that one should, and got the same error. Looking closer at the error, it seemed like an error exists within theethnicolr
library, so I tried rerunning the initial cell with it commented out (no other changes from the default) which did not yield any error messages. It looked to me like maybeethnicolr
has a dependency onprotobuf
that needs to be deprecated, but I honestly am not sure. Hopefully, I'm just misunderstanding something but I'd be happy to provide any other details if helpful. Thanks so much for your time.EDIT: Just wanted to note that taking a look at
ethnicolr
's page appears to confirm that this is the issue. Before commenting outethnicolr
, I could not progress any further. Since doing so, I've nearly completed the pipeline (of course, up until the point that I need theethnicolr
functions). As such, I'll try deprecating to version 0.9.1 and see if that works.FOLLOW-UP: It may be due to my own inexperience with Jupyter notebooks, but I wasn't able to get it to work with the remote notebook you all provided. It just did not want to revert to an earlier version. However, when I downloaded the materials and ran Python locally, I was able to get ethnicolr 0.9.1 to work I think as expected, though admittedly, I ran into other issues that I think are unrelated so without the final product, I can't be 100% sure. The issue might resolve itself whenever the ethnicolr developers figure out what they need to do, but just wanted to note that. Sorry for all the updates!
