Hi,
my problem is that I when syncing with pavlovia the images (png files) and one pdf that I need for the experiment are not added to the repository resulting in errors when running the experiment online. I added the files under additional resources in the online experiment settings and already checked that there are no upper cases or spaces. The pdf is in a folder with videos that get added to the repository and the pictures are in a seperate folder that is completely missing. I also tried setting the output path to html, but the problem persists. Is there anything else I might be doing wrong or could try to fix the problem?
Hi There,
what is the name of the folder that the images are saved in? please could you share a screenshot of your folder structure where your experiment is saved?
Do you get an error message when you try to push to pavlovia?
For the pdf - I am not sure that is a supported image format for online - can you try to convert it to a jpg?
Thanks,
Becca
Setting your output path to html in the latest version will I believe break your experiment.
Did you add the resources via Experiment Settings/ Online/ Additional Resources.?
Please see my crib sheet or one of my recent posts for how to recreate an experiment without an html folder.
Ok, so I just deleted the repository, and offline the html folder and all github folders/files. Also, in the experiment I removed the outout path and then synched to create a new pavlovia experiment, all together it looks like this:
The one thing that I suspect, but cannot change is the backslash in the paths. Everywhere else I had to change it to “/” in order to make it work on pavlovia, but in the additional resources I can only select the files via the windows explorer and I do not see a way to edit the path manually.
Also I receive no error message when I push the experiment. Only after I close PsychoPy and reopen it, I can no longer push my experiment and have to create a new one on Pavlovia, but that is another problem that existed before the one I am currently trying to solve…
Are your files stored in a cloud storage folder such as Onedrive?
This isn’t an issue. PsychoPy knows to switch \ to / in this location when online.
The files are stored locally.
Regarding the slashes, when e.g. setting a movie stimulus if I leave the windows backslash then I get an error on Pavlovia when running the experiment. That is why I think this might be related.
The resources you just showed were three png files and a pdf. I don’t think pdf files will work.
If you set a location in code it needs to have forward slashes.
I removed the pdf from the additional resources, but pushing the experiment still does not add the pngs
Please could you show the error message you are getting?
Am I right in thinking that you don’t have an icons folder online?
I wonder if it is being stopped by your gitignore file.
It might be worth trying to recreate the experiment again.
Solved: I saw in the .gitignore that it ignores OS generated files like icons and tried renaming the folder from icons to hints and now it was uploaded.
