Dear BIDS community,

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.0 of the BIDS Validator.

In the last few months, you may have noticed changes to the validator available at BIDS Validator, including the look and feel of the validator, the errors and warnings that are produced by the validator, and a link to a “legacy validator”.

BIDS Validator 2.0 marks the transition from the Node.js “legacy” validator to a completely rewritten validator based on the BIDS Schema. It is built on a lighter-weight Javascript runtime called Deno, and can be run on the command-line with:

deno run -A jsr:@bids/validator $DATASET

Most notably, this validator supports BIDS Derivatives and BIDS-MRS, which were not supported in the legacy validator.

Please try out the new validator and open issues for any problems you encounter. Note that the original bids-validator repository has been moved to https://github.com/bids-standard/legacy-validator, and https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-validator has been re-created as a fork. They share a git history, so your existing remotes will be able to update smoothly, but you may need to re-fork for PRs to go to the right place.

The legacy validator remains accessible at https://bids-standard.github.io/legacy-validator/, but it is no longer being actively maintained.

Full announcement: BIDS Validator 2.0 - The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS).

Additional documentation: The BIDS Validator — BIDS Validator documentation

Best,
Chris

Dear OpenNEURO maintainers,

I try to upload a dataset, but I am receiving "nifti_header_unreadable" error.

Interestingly, the dataset passes with (the newest version of) the offline BIDS validator.

When do you plan to update the BIDS validator on OpenNEURO?

Kind regards,

Tibor
