Ophyd cannot import name 'FileStoreBulkWrite'

We are trying to use xspress3 at 11id. I found we are actually using hxntools for controlling xspress3, here is the code

  2                                       ZebraPulse,
  3                                       ZebraFrontOutput12,
  4                                       ZebraFrontOutput3,
  5                                       ZebraFrontOutput4,
  6                                       ZebraRearOutput,
  7                                       ZebraGate,
  8                                       ZebraAddresses)
  9 
 10 from hxntools.detectors.xspress3 import (XspressTrigger,
 11                                          Xspress3Detector,
 12                                          Xspress3Channel)

In the new dev env, we don't install hxntools, so I conda install hxtools first. After that, when running the above import code, I got an error message,

In [751]: %run -i /home/xf11id/.ipython/profile_collection/startup/98-xspress3.py

ImportError: cannot import name 'FileStoreBulkWrite' 

I tried to conda update ophyd, but it did not help. Please advise.

hxntools needs to be updated. working on it...

Looks like things are working! Thanks @licode et al.

Sure. I think you are using the old bsui now. However, we still prefer to move to the new bsui api. We are updating hxntools, so soon you can move back to -dev environment with new api features.
