Error when changing the status of experiment

Online experiments

Hello all,
I am faced with an error when trying to change the status of my experiment from inactive to piloting/running. I keep getting the following error message:

">>> [500] “unable to pull the project from the GitLab repository: Cmd(‘git’) failed due to: exit code(128)\n cmdline: git pull\n stderr: ‘fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories’” ( #None )

If the error persists, contact Pavlovia’s administrator."

What can I do to fix the problem?

Hello Kati,

Can you give me the path of your experiment (username/experiment name), and I’ll have a look for you.
Cheers,

Alain

Thank you Kati.

The issue was related to the server move, and your deleting the experiment at an inopportune moment (this is absolutely not your fault, incidentally). The situation has been fixed. I just impersonated you and could change the status of both to PILOTING without issues.
Best wishes,

Alain

Hi there,

I am receiving the same message when I try to change my experiment to piloting. Could there be a similar problem? My experiment is laurajspeed/gp_mobile_v2

Thanks,

Laura

Hello @laurajspeed ,

It was indeed. I have just sorted it for you.

Dear Alain,

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I had to change some details, and added other versions of the experiment, and I’m having the same problem again. Strangely it worked for one of them (laurajspeed/gp_laptop_v2).

Could you please check the following experiments?
laurajspeed/gp_mobile_v1
laurajspeed/gp_mobile_v2
laurajspeed/gp_laptop_v1

Please let me know if there’s something I can do to avoid this happening.

Thanks,

Laura

Ah yes, same issue I am afraid. I sorted them for you.
I am also going through our logs to automatically sort all cases. But I believe you are all done.

Hi, I think I might be in the same boat or if not how can I fix the very same error. My experiment is Pavlovia . And here is the full error message >>> [500] “unable to pull the project from the GitLab repository: Cmd(‘git’) failed due to: exit code(128)\n cmdline: git pull\n stderr: 'error: Pulling is not possible because you have unmerged files.\nhint: Fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm ‘\nhint: as appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit.\nfatal: Exiting because of an unresolved conflict.’” ( #None )

If the error persists, contact Pavlovia’s administrator.
