403 Forbidden nginx error when piloting jsPsych 7.3.4

Online experiments jsPsych
1

jsPsych version (e.g. 7.3.4): I have recently tried to set up a new experiment on Pavlovia running the most recent version of jsPsych. The experiment runs fine in the browser and I have added the pavlovia-2022.1.1.js plugin and the the pavlovia_init and the pavlovia_finish commands to the timeline but I get a 403 Forbidden nginx error when I try to pilot the experiment. I have reproduced the Simple Reaction Time [jsPsych 7.x] experiment to test whether I can get this running and this also gives me a 403 Forbidden nginx error when I try to pilot the experiment. I have set the experiment back to inactive and then back to pilot, I have cleaned out my browser cache, I have checked all the path dependencies (and as I say I can get the jsPsych script to run on my computer) but still having no joy. I can run some experiments that I have set-up previously but nothing new. Not sure what to try next.

Unfortunately, I have a similar issue. Have you been able to solve this issue?

Yes I was able to solve the problem by showing it to a colleague. The problem was simple in the end. I left the .html extension off the index file and once I corrected this it ran just fine. It is probably something to do with the index file if you are having this issue.

Oh amazing, would you be willing to share how you configured the header? The only version that I currently get to work is 6.0.0.

<head>
	<title>Simple Reaction Time [jsPsych]</title>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">

	<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/vendors/jspsych-6.0.0/jspsych.js"></script>
	<link href="lib/vendors/jspsych-6.0.0/css/jspsych.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

	<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/vendors/jspsych-6.0.0/plugins/jspsych-html-keyboard-response.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/vendors/jspsych-6.0.0/plugins/jspsych-image-keyboard-response.js"></script>

This is the header of the index file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Simple Reaction Time [jsPsych 7.x]</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    <script src="jspsych/dist/jspsych.js"></script>
    <script src="jspsych/dist/plugin-html-keyboard-response.js"></script>
    <script src="jspsych/dist/plugin-image-keyboard-response.js"></script>
    <script src="jspsych/dist/plugin-preload.js"></script>
    <link href="jspsych/dist/jspsych.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="jspsych/pavlovia/jspsych-pavlovia-2022.1.1.js"></script>

Thanks so much! Do you have a folder called jsPsych in the repo?

Folder is called jspsych in the repo with dist and pavlovia subfolders.
