invalid class “MIAPE” object: invalid object for slot "instrumentModel" in class "MIAPE": got class "list", should be or extend class "character" from Autotuner

[v-v1150n]

Hi, I have seen issues here about cdf files and "MIAPE" object: errors. This is my situation currently:
I'm using the Autotuner suite to find out the best parameters,
https://github.com/KujawinskiLaboratory/Autotuner

My source file is a cdf file
The error message I get is as follows:

Error in validObject(.Object) :
invalid class "MIAPE" object: invalid object for slot "instrumentModel" in class "MIAPE": got class "list", should be or extend class "character"

Since there has been no response from the author of Autotuner, and my own programming skills are not very good, I am not sure how to modify their code.
After I checked their source code, I saw that they use the read function readMSData of MSnbase.
So I was wondering if there is a connection that can solve this problem.

Indeed, they use MSnbase for several operations, including reading data in. Could you share a cdf file to see what happens.

Of course, no problem, here is the link to the file:

The following are the results of the current file reading:

The function you use if from the MsExperiment package - that's not what Autotune uses.

Autotune uses MSnbase::readMSData(), as shown below:

> MSnbase::readMSData("~/Downloads/20140327_B-169_S043_1.cdf", msLevel. = 1, mode = "onDisk")
Polarity can not be extracted from netCDF files, please set manually the polarity with the 'polarity' method.

experimentData: use 'experimentData(object)'

which works.

The error that you show is related to the experiment data and/or instrument models encoded in the resulting object, which are fine:

> experimentData(x)
Instrument : 
  Model:  (1) 
  Manufacturer: U (1) 
  Customisations:  
  Use 'msInfo(object)' for more MIAPE-MS information.

Have you run Autotuner with multiple files, and (probably) with more parameters, then only that file? Please give me the exact code that lead to the error, or I won't be able to help.

This is the result of me reading the archive using readMSData:

This is my result using Autotuner:

Currently I only use these three files as my experimental data.
Do I need to provide any other information for your reference? thanks for your help

You have the error when reading the the 2 first files in. The 3rd one, that you shared with me, works.

Could you share one of the first two.
