Fmriprep issue with pybids_config.json

,
1

Dear experts,
I am running fmirprep like:

singularity run --cleanenv \
  fmriprep.simg \
  /data/BIDS /data/fmriprep_out \
  -w /data/work \
  participant \
  --participant-label sub-40713

(singularity version 3.4.1-4.2.ohpc.1.3.9)

And I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any suggestion on how to fix it?
Thank you!

Hi @fpizzaga,

What version of fmriprep are you using?

Best,
Steven

Hi @Steven ,
I pull the latest, but using docker://poldracklab/fmriprep:latest, which was version 20.2.0.

I am now running fMRIPrep v23.1.4 (docker://nipreps/fmriprep:latest):

singularity run --cleanenv \
   fmriprep.simg \
   --anat-only \
   --fs-no-reconall \
   --skip_bids_validation \
   --notrack \
   -v \
   /data/BIDS/ \
   /data/fmriprep_out \
   participant \
   --participant-label sub-40713

It is stuck since ~ 30 mins and I am not getting any logs. Probably this is a different topic.
Thank you!
f.

Yes, please only use the nipreps version. Also,

this flag is not recommended, see here.

If you only want to do anatomical, you can use sMRIPrep (which is what fMRIPrep calls upon internally).

Best,
Steven
