Cannot change parameter and pass parameters to model

[TS-CUBED]

I am trying to change the parameter in a cellML model, but the method in the Readme/Tutorial does not work anymore.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download beeler_reuter_1977.cellml.xml.
2. Setup as in tutorial and try to change the parameter:

ml = CellModel("models/beeler_reuter_1977.cellml.xml")

p = list_params(ml)
update_list!(p, :stimulus_protocol₊IstimPeriod, 250.0)
prob = ODEProblem(ml, (0, 10000); p=p)

Error occurs:

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching float(::Type{Any})

Note: That top-level scope is just the actual model I am working on. But the error occurs on the model from the tutorial as well.

p = list_params(ml)
update_list!(p, :stimulus_protocol₊IstimPeriod, 250.0)

What are these? I think it should just use the normal MTK way of doing these things.

That code snippet is from the example in the Readme.md on this repo (CellMLToolkit). It's a bit further down on the page in the Beeler et al. case.

This issue is kind of linked to: SciML/ModelingToolkit.jl#1810

[ChrisRackauckas]

Ahh yeah, we should finish the remake dispatch improvements and just delete that weird stuff from the README

[TS-CUBED]

A CellML model is a good example for the problem I mean in that. Since all the parameters are set in the model already, it would be a major pain to have to create the whole parameter map (which in some of them can be 1000s) if I only want to change 10.

A remake that takes a partial parameter map would be a(nother) killer feature in that application.

[ChrisRackauckas]

Definitely agreed. It's in the plan, just needs hands.

Sorry to bother here, but ODEProblem with CellModel expects a vector with the parameters and not the vector with the maps: prob = ODEProblem(ml, (0, 10000); p=last.(p)) "solves" this.
