_5_make_epochs fails with critical error

[hyruuk]

Description of the problem

mne_bids_pipeline fails to segment my data based on event markers.

Steps to reproduce

Run mne_bids_pipeline on the following BIDS data sample (the configuration file have been saved in the report)

Link to data

https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZJyGaVZGY8wcRMFIR7tXQ4KjkRzkBlH053X

Expected results

The pipeline should produce an epoched file.

Actual results

The pipeline crashes when asserting that some time window is not void of events (it apparently is).

[17:33:54] │ 🐛 preprocessing/_05_make_epochs sub-05 A critical error occurred. The error message was:

> /home/hyruuk/mambaforge/envs/saflow/lib/python3.11/site-packages/mne/epochs.py(2882)make_metadata()
-> assert not events_in_window.empty

The _5_make_epochs script never completes.
Investigating more, I find that the metadata dataframe generated in the MNE call is suspicious (contains all NaNs and values of ~0.5 or ~1 when I would expect timing onsets in seconds - if I understand correctly), although events_df looks fine and contains correct events and sample indexes.

Hello! 👋 Thanks for opening your first issue here! ❤️ We will try to get back to you soon. 🚴🏽‍♂️

Hello @hyruuk, could you set on_error = "abort" in your configuration file, re-run, and paste the full traceback here? Thanks!

[hyruuk]

Hi !

Oops yeah I had interactive mode active that's why I couldn't see the full traceback, thanks.
