Hi, I’m trying to add a rest break. It works fine on my local computer, but my experiment breaks on Pavlovia as I get to the rest break so I thought I’d check what I wrote. I put the code component in the rest break routine, set to run on each frame. [Screenshot 2020-06-26 at 17.15.14] Python co…

Two obvious errors. You have to refer to all loops as trials. continueRoutine = True is redundant since that’s the default. Best wishes, Wakefield PsychoPy Python to Javascript crib sheet PsychoPy version 2020.1.3Python to JavaScript Crib Sheet Compiled by Wakefield Morys-Carter, Ox…

Thanks for taking a look. I’m sorry, I’m not totally sure I follow. Would the code look something like this: Python: if trials.thisTrialN != 150: continueRoutine=False JS: if ((trials.thisTrialN !== 150)) { continueRoutine = false; } That’s still not working, but possibly I misunderstood?

I should specify, I get a red box error message at the point where the rest break would appear, but it disappears too quickly to see what the error message is or I’d take a screengrab.

OK I did a wee bit more digging. First, I recorded the experiment and then rewatched which allowed me to pause and see the error - turns out it was because the images hadn’t uploaded properly to the html folder so I fixed this. Now the experiment works, but the rest break never shows. I added this c…

Try trials.thisN I’m not sure if it makes a difference. Alternatively create your own iteration counter, e.g. loopNum = 0 the loopNum +=1 each loop

Unfortunately neither of these options didn’t work on Pavlovia although they did on Psychopy local - I tried adding an iteration (+1) at the beginning of each routine, as well as on each frame. I’m so puzzled why the trial number doesn’t seem to increment.

A few other people are also hitting a similiar issue e.g. [image] Block break text at the end of the experiment Online experiments URL of experiment: Description of the problem: hello. I have two test blocks in my experiment, where participants take a 60 sec break in bet…

I should say I used this previous thread for reference: "Take a break" works locally but not online
