MRIQC RuntimeError: The combination of supplied labels [...] did not result in matches within the BIDS directory

,

Hello, I get the following error when running mriqc for multiple functional runs:

RuntimeError:  (--participant_label null 31003 null) (--session-id 01) (--run-id 04) (--task-id highspeed) did not result in matches within the BIDS directory (/path/to/sourcedata).

This is how the relevant data structure looks like:

MRIQC works fine on my T1w data. However, I only specify e.g., --participant-label 31003, --session-id 01 and --m T1w in this case. Thus, I suspect that the problem with the functional data might be related to the --run-id or --task-id argument. Perhaps it might be also related to the acq specification in my data files.

A similar issue has already been reported here.

Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I’ll put this on top of other priorities. Thanks for reporting!

Hi @oesteban

thanks for looking into that matter!

I kind of “solved” this for my case now. It finally worked after I (1) removed the acq-label in the file name and (2) passed a non-zero-padded run number (i.e., 1 instead of 01) into the --run-id argument. Also, I removed the acq-nonorm files (see above) from the directory.

I guess that’s not a permanent solution but it might be helpful to find the bug.

Maybe MRIQC is running into problems when multiple files exist that cannot be differentiated exclusively by the filtering arguments --participant-label, --session-id, --run-id, --task-id and --m. This was initially the case for my data when files could only be differentiated by the acq label.

Hi @lennart, we just released 0.12.1 which should fix this problem.
