Error after starting simba: unable to load classification from database

[CorinneAKelly]

Describe the bug I am able to start simba and the GUI opens fine. If I try to create a new project and click "browse folder", the following error occurs:

2022-01-28 15:06:19,769 ERROR - Unable to load classification from database with name and id (Classification icon creation failed): Critical (8c70e164-91e6-4a6d-ad34-2f666638f911)

If I continue anyway, and click "generate project config", it will successfully make a project folder but many of the files that should be inside it (such as the project_bp_names.csv) are missing. This makes me unable to either load in H5 files or even load the project itself if I exit simba and come back. Both of those cases lead to the following error:

Additional context I have tried creating a new environment and installing simba from scratch, both with pip install simba-uw-tf-dev and pip install simba-uw-tf-dev --no-deps. Neither solved the issue. I found someone having a similar error to the second one I pasted above in the gitter, but it appeared their issue was due to path issues with Linux on a server. My error isn't with the path, the file it is looking for just doesn't exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have also tried running this on my laptop just now with similar issues. For some reason on that computer I don't get the first string of classification errors, but I am still getting the second set of errors when I attempt to import DLC H5 files.

I also have this issue when trying to use preset multianimal 2 animals/14 bps. bp_names is not created causing errors further down the line. Workaround for now is to just modify the analysis results so they will look like those from a single animal project for 2 animals/14 bps. Just wondering what's causing the issue

[sgoldenlab]

@KonradDanielewski - thanks for reporting, do you see any main terminal error msg when creating the project?

Also, I am correct that the settings you are the settings in this screenshot?

[KonradDanielewski]

Sorry, there is no error, neither in the main terminal nor in the simba terminal. Just the file not being created.

So, for now with the workaround I do set it the way you show with classic tracking and 2 animals, 14 bps and the project_bp_names.csv is being created. But when I change classic tracking to Multi tracking and Multi-animals, 7 bps it's not being created.

[sgoldenlab]

Thanks @KonradDanielewski - I've sorted it, if you update to 0.90.4 it should work - but please let me know. There was a line in there basically saying if multi-animal 7bps == do not create project_bp_names.csv lol. I have no idea why a line like that would be in there, makes me a little uneasy, but I've commented it out for now and does not seem to cause any immediate issues.

[KonradDanielewski]

Thanks for the quick response. So, the file now is created but it looks the same as the one for classic tracking, listing 14 bps with _1 and _2. Is it how it's supposed to be?

Maybe it's my lack of understanding how the workflow goes concerning bp names. I'll take a look at the code and try to get a better understanding of the backend

[sgoldenlab]

Yes that sounds correct, the workflow isn't ideal but going back now and sorting the backend ensuring backwards compatibility is tricky and not a priority. What happens is that SimBA pulls the index from the selected bp configuration in the dropdown, and matches it with the row in the simba.pose_configurations.bp_names.bp_names.csv file, and the values in the relevant row in this file is used to create the project_bp_names.csv file in the project. If you create additional user-defined configurations, then those become appended as a new row in the simba.pose_configurations.bp_names.bp_names.csv file.
