I’m following the guide in the book to embed the conditions information into the HDF5 file output from an eyetracking experiment (page 277-278), but I’m getting an error. I’ve messed around with it for a bit but can’t figure it out and I wonder if this was something that no longer works with the latest psychopy since the book is from 2018?
The problem seems to be with the line io.addTrialHandlerRecord(thisTrial.values()). Here is the error output (note I printed out thisTrial.values() in my experiment code so it’s in this output):

So I casted the input as tuple with io.addTrialHandlerRecord(tuple(thisTrial.values()) and the experiment ran, but then I still got the following warning, so it’s still not right:

It feels like it’s going to be a simple fix but I can’t seem to get it.
