v0.3.8

v0.3.8

Improvements

• Added filters for benign warnings when loading a PyNWB file with outdated cached namespaces or no namespaces at all

New Checks

• Ensuring all ogen sites are referenced by an ogen series
• If the ElectricalSeries.electrodes points to a dynamic table region that actually came from the ElectrodeTable
• The related_publications, if set, uses a proper doi format
• NWBFile contains keywords
• Slashes in names
• Incorrect session start times
• Unknown resolution for TimeSeries
• Missing unit for TimeSeries

Bug fixes

• Display output for aggregated messages was accidentally counting the first file
• Behavior of checking session_start_time after checking the nwbfile description resulted in session_start_time being set to None in memory

v0.3.1

v0.3.1 API Changes

• Output from inspect_nwb and inspect_all are now yielded generators of a simple, flat list of InspectorMessages, or raises a StopIteration if no issues are present in the file(s). To automatically calculate the list of messages, simply cast these functions as a list, e.g., list(inspect_nwb(...)).

• Users may now create and specify configuration files that can alter the importance levels of individual check functions, as well as programmatically skip certain ones altogether. The CLI has an additional wrapper for convenience to some pre-defined configurations, such as a DANDI configuration (with the --config dandi flag) that emphasizes the types of metadata required by DANDI.

• organize_messages from inspector_tools now supports generic hierarchical organization according to the specified levels argument.

• Parallelization over NWBFiles is now supported for inspect_all and the CLI (with the --n-jobs flag).

• Exposed imports of inspect_nwb and inspect_all on the outer level, e.g., from nwbinspector import inspect_all

New Checks

• check_binary_capability for columns of dynamic tables that are candidates for binary (boolean) representation
• check_roi_response_series_link_to_plane_segmentation for ensuring proper linkage of ophys data

Minor changes

• Folder path iteration by inspect_all is now recursive to subfolders
• Severity level NO_SEVERITY was removed to avoid confusion. LOW is the new default.

v0.2.3

v0.2.3 is the first released version since the v0.1.0 prototype.

It includes all the refactored codebase including check registration, report parsing, and the new check function suite. It also supports ros3 streaming of files on the DANDI archive (though the user is responsible for resolving the correct S3 path).
