PsychoPy experiment doesn't load

We think this was caused by renaming a Routine; this was a new feature and apparently not working correctly as of 1.84.1. The bug that led to this issue is now fixed and will be included in next release (1.84.2).

For anyone else having this issue you can fix your file manually like this (make a copy of your experiment first in case you really mess it up!):

  • open your .psyexp file in a text editor (e.g. notepad+ on windows, textwrangler on mac)
  • near the bottom of the file you’ll see a section describing the Flow
  • find the line referring to the Routine name that you changed (no longer exists) and simply change it to the name you changed it to (exactly, with matching capitals)
  • For example, if you changed the trial routine to be called presentPics then you find/need to change the like this:
  • <Routine name="trial"/> :arrow_right: <Routine name="presentPics"/>

If you can’t make that work then post a copy of your experiment here for us to change for you (folks you can “unwatch” this thread if you don’t want updates!)
