Error running experiment on Mac: expected min height to be less than or equal to 30 but got a height of 32.000000

Builder

Hello, I am using Builder on MacOS BigSur. I am at the very beginning of designing an experiment and added only one routine so far, a keyboard selection between left and right. When I run it, it crashes and I get this error:

2021-10-17 21:17:19.781 python[13340:2478723] Warning: Expected min height of view: (<NSPopoverTouchBarItemButton: 0x7f974bff3b10>) to be less than or equal to 30 but got a height of 32.000000. This error will be logged once per view in violation.

If I replace the keyboard with a slider, the same thing happens. I have seen this issue come up before but unfortunately couldn’t pinpoint an answer. Thank you for your help!

What version of PsychoPy are you using?

Hi! I’m using 2021.2.3

Yeah, I got the same thing on my new mac intel.

Seems like it’s still exist. I wonder if it has to do with versions issue. Checking now

Current versions:
OS: macOS Monterey 12.5.1
Xcode: 14.0.1
Psychopy: v2022.2.4

5

I wonder if it’s a resurgence of a bug that has been previously fixed.

Please could you try 2022.1.4

Trying that now.

I’m just confused because it worked very well with M1 (using rosetta to run intel on psychopy)

I was using the latest version on m1.

Trying 2202.1.4 on intel now

This is working now. It seems that the error is just harmless and distracting at this point now.

It’s so weird that it worked well on 2202.2.4 with M1 Mac but not Mac intel

Dayum…I decided to re-test the latest and now its working

Just that the error doesn’t gone but everything else is working as intended. This is truly bizarre

I have the same issue with
MAC OS Sonoma 14.0
Xcode version 15.0.1
Psychopy versions 2022.1.4 and 2023.2.3 and I receive as error the next message.

What can I do? I have access to windows 10 and ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04.

I have the the same issue with 14.0 (23A344) using Psychopy 2023.2.3.

For no reason, my display size change and all my stimuli are display outside my actuel window.

Do you have any reason why?

I don’t know how support for psychopy works. But it very difficult to use psychopy if there are no answers.

PsychoPy is free software and Mac bugs are particularly difficult to pinpoint. You say you have access to Windows 10. I think you’ll find that the bug doesn’t appear there. In the meantime I’ll send a message to the team to note that this bug may be back again.
