[yarikoptic]

What happened?

in dandi-cli "dev" run where we test against development versions by doing

        pip install git+https://github.com/jaraco/keyring
        pip install git+https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/nwbinspector
        pip install git+https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/pynwb
        pip install git+https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf

we started to fail with

@yarikoptic Array has been deprecated and removed. We are about to do a major release for HDMF. https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf/blob/dev/CHANGELOG.md

[yarikoptic]

and that would break current hdmf-zarr which isn't yet adjusted for that?

[mavaylon1]

@yarikoptic hdmf-zarr will have a major release next week

That is great to hear but meanwhile issue remains not fixed -- reproducer keeps reproducing which is breaking our CI

This should be resolved when hdmf-zarr is released. The dev branch is up-to-date and cross-compatible with pynwb and hdmf. If you add pip install git+https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf-zarr to your CI, I think that should resolve the issue until the hdmf-zarr release.
