Hi @dizcza we are ready to release Neo 0.9.0 from the master branch, but before doing so I wanted to check with you that the current Neo master doesn't break anything in Elephant.

[dizcza]

Hi @apdavison
2 tests fail in test_neo_tools.py with the latest neo master branch:
test__extract_neo_attrs__spiketrain_parents_childfirst_array
test__extract_neo_attrs__spiketrain_parents_parentfirst_array
These tests are 6 years old. I'm doing a video recording right now, I'll look into the issues in a few hours. Help is appreciated since I already see that the quality of test code is not that great and + it's neo tools, in which I rarely look, so it could be hard for me to realize what is going on.
Maybe @JuliaSprenger have insights?

The test you mention use ChannelIndex and Units.
I think you should remove theses classes in your tests suite.
But this should still work at least for neo 0.9

[dizcza]

Are ChannelIndex and Units deprecated now?

[apdavison]

yes - for more information see https://neo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/0.9.0.html

[JuliaSprenger]

Yes, they are deprecated and not used any more by the IOs. For compatiblity reasons the classes will still be included in version 0.9.0, but should not be used any more.

I removed ChannelIndex-related tests from neo utils. Now it works.
Thanks!
