Commit dialogue not opening

Hi,

I’ve come back to psychopy in order to tweak a previous paradigm and run it online. I made a copy of the folder which housed the old paradigm, renamed the folder and .psyexp file, deleted the html, .git folders and the gitignore file. Then I tweaked the experiment, saved, and hit sync.

Unfortunately nothing happens. The error I’m getting in the Runner View is this:


Traceback (most recent call last):

I was expecting it to ask me to create a project on pavlovia and then sync but this doesn’t happen. As mentioned, I’ve deleted the html and git folders, so there shouldn’t be a clash with the old project. Clicking sync does create a new html folder, but that’s as far as it goes.

Edit: running version 2020.1.3

Help appreciated.

Thanks,
Anthony

After a day of it not working yesterday, I logged on today and it worked. I didn’t do anything different but hey I guess the old “turn it off and on again” solution is often the best!
