Bug: need to specify hash_type='md5' in densenet_training_array.ipynb #2076
Description
Bug
In the densenet_training_array.ipynb under tutorials/3d_regression, the notebook does not run as is. The wrong hash_type is used when download_and_extract is called.
Error
HashCheckError: sha256 hash check of downloaded file failed: url='https://developer.download.nvidia.com/assets/Clara/monai/tutorials/IXI-T1.tar', filepath=PosixPath('/tmp/tmpv5nnnrfy/ixi.tar'), expected sha256=34901a0593b41dd19c1a1f746eac2d58, The file may be corrupted or tampered with. Please retry the download or verify the source.
Fix
The call to download_and_extract(resource, tarfile_name, dataset_dir, md5) should be changed to download_and_extract(resource, tarfile_name, dataset_dir, md5, hash_type='md5') because it expects a 'sha256' by default which would be 64 characters (not 32).

hi @erikamoore thanks for reporting this, it relates to the upcoming MONAI release and some changes we did. There should have been a warning about deprecated default argument values, we'll sorting that now on the core repo. For the fixes here in tutorials I have opened #2077 to address these, please have a look if you can and verify it resolves your issue.

Hi @ericspod, yes the fix in #2077 that has
download_and_extract(resource, tarfile_name, dataset_dir, md5, "md5")works on my end. Thank you.Add Explicit hash_type Arguments and Device Fallback (Project-MONAI#2077
