Error: useNames = NA is defunct. Instead, specify either useNames = TRUE or useNames = FALSE.

When I used "AUCell" and "VISION" method in sc.metabolism.Seurat, I got different errors.

scRNA_metab<-sc.metabolism.Seurat(obj = scRNA_metab, method = 'AUCell', imputation = F, ncores = 2, metabolism.type = "KEGG")

Your choice is: KEGG

How to solve the problem？Thank you very much!

Please use Seurat V4, rather than V5

Please use Seurat V4, rather than V5

I am using Seurat4, but I still encountered the same problem mentioned above.

[jsdhsjdd]

I met the same problem. do you sovle the problem?

Please use Seurat V4, rather than V5

I used Seurat V4, but I still got these error.

I suspect the problem comes from the AUCell package (my version is 1.12.0). Another discussion https://github.com/aertslab/SCENIC/issues/439 suggested downgrading the Bioconductor version to 3.17, but it didn't work for me.

Error: useNames = NA is defunct. Instead, specify either useNames = TRUE or useNames = FALSE.

FYI, this defunct error comes from matrixStats (>= 1.2.0) [2023-12-11]. I'll clarify that fact in the next release. There is some function is some package that calls one of the matrixStats functions with argument useNames = NA, which is now defunct. To identify which function, call traceback() immediately after you get the error. This has been deprecated for years, so there should have been lots of warnings since.
