Error when changing version

Online experiments

Hello

I need to set the PsychoPy-version to 2024.1.4 for a couple of experiments. All expect one compile without errors. One experiment give the following error message which seems related to the version switch. The program compiles without any error message when not switching the version.

Here some more information from the Runner

1.1537 ERROR b’error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:\n\tpsychopy/app/plugin_manager/output.py\n\tpsychopy/experiment/questPlusTemplate.xltx\n\tpsychopy/experiment/questTemplate.xltx\n\tpsychopy/experiment/staircaseTemplate.xltx\n\tpsychopy/tools/environmenttools.py\nPlease move or remove them before you switch branches.\nAborting\n’

Any idea how to resolve this problem?

Does that experiment have a staircase? There’s at least one recent bugfix which might have an impact in 2024.2.0

Hello

No, there is no staircase in this experiment. I followed the advice to (re)move the mentioned files. But then PsychoPY won’t start.
