Error: Cannot use ‘in’ operator to search for ‘undefined’ in undefined

URL of experiment: dscrimination [PsychoPy]

Problem description: the Javascript code is losing almost all the definition codes?(sorry I am not sure whether it is the name) (var ****) after I used the translation tool on psychopy, while the python code is totally ok and the experiment can run on my laptop perfectly. I added all the variables myself in the Javascript. However, the problem now is TypeError: Cannot use ‘in’ operator to search for ‘undefined’ in undefined . I have consulted many related topics but I can’t find any solution.

Could anyone help me with this issue? I almost run out of time for my master thesis. Thank you in advance!

I think that there are probably issues with the start conditions for your keyboard components.

next_2

len(_choose_2_allKeys) > 0

_choose_2_allKeys doesn’t exisit and choose_2.keys is undefined until the first choose_2 key is pressed.

I don’t know if $(‘g’ in choose_2.keys) works as a stop condition locally but online I’d expect to need to define a variable in an auto code component and then use that.

You have two keyboard components and event.getKeys in the same routine, which is likely to result in unwanted behaviour.

Thank you for your message!

Do you mean the code component in Builder?

Yes

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I have added the following code below “choose_2” keyboard component and deleted the stop condition leaving it black.
However, the python or js codes didn’t change accordingly, still showing the previous version (len(_choose_2_allKeys) …)

if choose_2.status == STARTED:
    choose_2_Stop = ('g' in choose_2.keys)
    if choose_2_Stop:
        choose_2.tStop = t  # not accounting for scr refresh
        choose_2.frameNStop = frameN  # exact frame index
        win.timeOnFlip(choose_2, 'tStopRefresh')  # time at next scr refresh
        choose_2.status = FINISHED
