In the `ros3` tests we use the following check to detect whether network (and ros3) are available to automatically skip the test. https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/pynwb/blob/87a7c578e806f3679fc7b8c5e9777f382406db6a/tests/integration/ros3/test_ros3.py#L21C1-L27 We could do the same here.

@stephprince can you help with this issue? I believe this is will most likely need to be addressed in HDMF so we may want to transfer the issue to HDMF.

@mavaylon1 could you take a look at this?

Thanks for reporting this bug. **Issue 1: Specify `ElectrodeGroup.position` as a compound array** [`ElectrodeGroup.position`](https://nwb-schema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/format.html?highlight=ElectrodeGroup#electrodegroup) is actually a compound dataset: What this means is that each element in the `position` array...

#1770 should fix the issue. If you modify the example code to create the ElectrodeGroup as follows: ``` electrode_group = nwbfile.create_electrode_group( name="ElectrodeGroup", description="no description.", device=device, location="unknown", position=[(1., 2., 3.),] )...

Thanks for the summary. I would suggest we discuss here for a bit and then create separate issues for items where we identify more specific tasks or issues. > 1....
