Issue with BIDSDataGrabber in NiPyPe 1.6.1

,
1

Hi all,
I ran into an issue when trying to update a pipeline with the BidsDatagrabber interface. The dataset is correctly formatted as a BIDS dataset according to the bids-validator. I can also get the files via the pybids layout command, i.e. layout = BIDSLayout(folder). However, when I try to get the files via the BIDSDataGrabber, I first get the warning:

The 'extension' entity currently excludes the leading dot ('.'). As of version 0.14.0, it will include the leading dot. To suppress this warning and include the leading dot, use `bids.config.set_option('extension_initial_dot', True)*

and then it crashes:

ValueError: 'extensions' is not a recognized entity. Did you mean ['extension']? If you're sure you want to impose this constraint, set invalid_filters='allow'.

Iā€™m running nipype v1.6.1 and pybids v0.13.1 under Python 3.8.8.

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply.

Looks like BIDSDataGrabber for nipype needs to be updated. A change was recently made to pybids so that extensions for was dropped in favor of extension.

In the meantime you could try to downgrade pybids to v0.8.

Best,
Alejandro

One more thing you can do in the meantime, you can set the parameter output_query manualy.

By default it is set to:

            self.inputs.output_query = {
                "bold": {
                    "datatype": "func",
                    "suffix": "bold",
                    "extensions": ["nii", ".nii.gz"],
                },
                "T1w": {
                    "datatype": "anat",
                    "suffix": "T1w",
                    "extensions": ["nii", ".nii.gz"],
                },
            }

The issue is that extensions is now deprecated.

You can manually set output_query to:

            {
                "bold": {
                    "datatype": "func",
                    "suffix": "bold",
                    "extension": ["nii", ".nii.gz"],
                },
                "T1w": {
                    "datatype": "anat",
                    "suffix": "T1w",
                    "extension": ["nii", ".nii.gz"],
                },
            }

and that should return bold and T1w images without issue.

Also, you can modify that output query to return whatever it is that is of interest to you from the BIDS Dataset, depending on your needs.
