I’m trying to set conditional routine on test. This is the flow of test

If they press v, they will only do old response routine; if pressing b, they will only do similar response routine and if pressing n, they will only do new response routine.  
Following are the code and auto JS. The code component works correctly and well locally and not works online. The continueRountine command is ignored. Pressing v, b or n, all three routines run consecutively.

I think you need it under each frame.

This is a long-standing bug - have filed an issue here:

But in the interim, yes, follow @tlan’s advice.
