Please replace this section with:

What you were trying to do (include code to reproduce error)

I was trying to run through the "your first neuron module" but kept on getting an error when adding a compartment.

What you expected to happen

When I run x, I expected the prompt showing which compartments were successfully added.

What actually happened

hi, thanks for the detailed error report.

this is because your copy of mtools (a dependency) is out of date.

if you installed via the package

oops, my bad. i'll have to build a new one

installed using git/direct download

you need to update https://github.com/sg-s/srinivas.gs_mtools/

using git:

git pull

OK, the problem has been identified -- the package is missing a dependency which needs to be added.

  • In the short term, you can continue to use xolotl -- most things should work. The missing function will cause the display method to fail, so if you add ; to all statements things should work
  • if you want to hot-patch your installation, you can download the missing function here and put it somewhere in your path

OK, i've made a new release that includes List, and should fix your problem. Please uninstall (using the add-on manager) and reinstall the new toolbox from here

https://github.com/sg-s/xolotl/releases/tag/v21.2.17

closing for now, feel free to re-open if this doesn't fix your problem
