Cmdline: /Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/git-core/git status --porcelain --untracked-files stderr: 'fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

My experiment works locally but I cant run it in pavlovia. My experiment folder is in a dedicated folder at my user home folder.

At first I was able transfer and sync the exp files to pavlovia, but when I tried to pilot it I saw" initialising" text. Then, I now deleted the hidden git folders in the exp folder but now I got: cmdline: /Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/git-core/git status --porcelain --untracked-files
stderr: 'fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Is this about the way I save the files??

Thanks!!

Hi There,

Some of these suggestions might sound simple but hopefully might help! (also please do share what version of PsychoPy you are using)

1. Have you tried closing PsychoPy and reopening it before attempting a sync. When you reopen the PsychoPy .psyexp file and select the project information icon (the globe with the “i” on it in any 2023 or ealier version) it should not suggest it is linked to a project.
2. is there a hidden .git file anywhere else on the path to this folder e.g. in the folder level above this directory. If so that should be deleted as well if possible.
3. Double check Psychopy has not logged you out of pavlovia (and therefore fails to sync).
4. I notice a few .js files in this folder. if you delete the .js files before the sync then Builder should generate only the .js files needed to run the study.
5. There are also a few .psyexp files in this location, it is a good idea in general to make sure the folder only contains the .psyexp file needed for the experiment that you are trying to run.

Hope this helps!
Becca

Hi, I reinstalled Psychopy and I was able to solve it! Thank you. However, I am currently having an issue with transferring my experiment to Pavlovia. It’s a line reproduction task, that works locally but lines seem invisible in Pavlovia.

I tried adding a text component and show the line lengths as a text-
now I can see the text in the experiment but still can’t see lines even if I changed their width from 2 to 5.

I also tried changing spatial units to make it visible- in pixels I don’t see anything but in most of the units (norm,height etc)I only see just 1 line in brief duration like 500 ms.

I get the line lengths from spreadsheet as you see but I also tried removing that and entering random numbers like 32 for the first trial and 97 for the response trial, - cursor starts at the last response trial’s length when I did it like this(I want cursor to move simultaneously with the line.)

and when I just changed the target_line(response trial) cursor didn’t move simultaneously with the line.

I just tried a rectangle- again it works locally but I don’t see anything online just grey screen

I also just tried with a triangle- I don’t get an error:

How can I fix this?

Line components for both trials look like this:

Hi There,

I am pleased to read that you were able to solve your original issue!

For new issues i would suggest starting a new thread on the forum - as it will be more likely to get a relevant response with a title/topic to find it.

In this case I would suggest first trying to use a rectangle (albeit with a thin height or width) to see if that works instead of a Line.

Hope this helps,
Becca

PS. if you do make a new thread feel free to link it here in a response to that they are linked.

Hi, I just started a new thread and I tried it with a rectangle as I made the width bigger ( first I started with 2,5 and 100) I am able to see it on screen only for like 500 ms maybe less than that and its just 1 rectangle and I really need to finish this as soon as possible. What can I do to fix this? I just see these warnings below:

Thanks!!
