Cant select Project in PsychoPy Builder

Builder
1

OS: Win11
PsychoPy version (e.g. 2024.2.4 Py 3.8): 2026.2.3
Standard Standalone Installation? (y/n) Yes
Do you want it to also run online? (y/n) Yes
What are you trying to achieve?:

I am building my first experiment in PsychoPy Builder and want to pilot it online via Pavlovia. Specifically, I am trying to link my local experiment file (.psyexp) to an existing Pavlovia project repository so I can sync changes consistently.

What did you try to make it work?

  1. I logged into Pavlovia within PsychoPy Builder.

  2. Next to my username, the status displays “No project”.

  3. When using the drop-down menu next to “No project”, I can locate my repository, but I did not see any option to select it that it is choosen and displayed afterwards.

  4. Clicking the “Sync with Pavlovia” (globe) button triggers a notification stating that the current file does not belong to any existing project.

  5. If I follow the prompt to create a new project, it syncs successfully, but only as a completely new repository.

I cannot re-link an existing Pavlovia repository to my local .psyexp file across sessions. PsychoPy treats the experiment as unlinked every time, forcing me to either create a duplicate project on Pavlovia or leave it disconnected.

How do I properly associate an existing local experiment folder with an already created repository on Pavlovia without having to initialize a new project every time?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Best,
Samuel

Yes this worked.

Followed exactly your instructions and now I see my project in the Builder next to my username.

Thank you very much and have a nice day!
