OS: macOS PsychoPy version: 3.2.3 Standard Standalone?: y What are you trying to achieve?: stop a routine from being run I tried to stop a routine from being run by putting continueRoutine = False in the Begin Routine tab of a code component (and placing this component at the top of the routine)…

That’s an ancient old issue: can’t understand how it has raised its head again if you are using version 3.2.3. Are you able to post your .psyexp file here?

Thanks for your quick response, @Michael . Here you go. test.psyexp (7.1 KB)

Oh wow, this is bizarre. Can replicate that in 3.2.3 with other files too. Not sure how this hasn’t been causing problems for other people too. Will need to call on @jon and @dvbridges for this one, as it is due to how Builder generates the .py file, which is not a part of the code base I am very c…

Hi @frankbolton , if you are using a code component to end the routine on a particular condtion, then you need to move the continueRoutine = False command to the “Each Frame” tab.

@dvbridges thanks for the workaround! Sorted me out.
