Using RenameCells with sparse matrices

[lazappi]

Opening this as an issue after @nbahlis commented on #510

Hello,
when using RenameCells I get the error "invalid dimnames given for "dgCMatrix" object "
Does RenameCells work with sparse matrices?

thanks

Hi @nbahlis

Are you able to provide a reproducible example that causes the error?

I tried the following code using a sparse matrix and didn't have any problems.

library(Seurat)
data("pbmc_small")
sparse_data <- as(pbmc_small@raw.data, "dgCMatrix")
pbmc_sparse <- CreateSeuratObject(sparse_data)
RenameCells(pbmc_sparse, add.cell.id = "TEST")

The Seurat developers might have more of an idea what the problem could be here.

thank you Luke,
Mia Culpa. There was an error in my matrix. Code is fine
