OS (e.g. Win10): 10.10.5 PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): On any version (have tried older versions and 2020.2.5
When I try to run any experiment on my mac a new psychopy window attempts to open but crashes and then I get this error: ############ Running: /Users/casasim/Documents/trial _lastrun.py ############## 463357.0164 INFO /Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/MacOS/python -m psychopy.scripts.psyexpCompile /Users/casasim/Documents/trial .psyexp -o /Users/casasim/Documents/trial _lastrun.py -v 2020.2.61.1809 WARNING We strongly recommend you activate the PTB sound engine in PsychoPy prefs as the preferred audio engine.

Experiment ended.
However, when I try to run it on JS local debug the experiment starts but the only thing that shows is a grey screen.
How can I fix this?
I’ve run your psyexp and have managed to replicate your issue. I even had to get the task master to shut down the grey window.
However when I opened a new window of PsychoPy and replicated your experiment exactly I found no such issues.
The issue here is that you have fullsrc set to false, you can change this by going to File, Preferences and ticking the box that says Full_screen.
I am not sure if I have done it correctly but I have gone on experiment setting and now clicked the full screen window but nothing has changed sadly. I had actually unclicked that box whilst trying to fix the issue.
Whenever I try to run the experiment on psychopy a new window of the program tries to open but then crashes straight away and the other window now just says:

The only way that I can make it even show anything is by opening it on JS and this way it only shows me the grey screen.
I have now tried to open the app and close it again but the same crashing psychopy window happens.
I have just tried to do this but it is still showing up with this error.

Now it seems like a new window of the app is not even trying to open yet.
thank you for doing that for me. Unfortunately, yes it still does not work.
Psychopy experiment runners gives me this info:

Are you certain you are running PsychoPy 2020.2.8 ?
I can’t replicate your issue anymore for some reason. Though When I open up the original file you supplied everything is running very slowly.
I am running 2020.2.10.
I had a group call with someone that works for Pyschopy the other day and mentioned that it could be something to do with my computer settings? However, I am not sure how to solve that issue.
Ah! Is it possible that during the installation you changed some kind of setting?
Alternatively do you allow PsychoPy to make changes to your device? ( think this is a prompting window at some point)
Lastly you could try the old fix all method of Running it as Administrator.
I have not changed any setting that I am aware of. I think i’ve allowed it to make changes to my laptop, how do I check? I don’t imagine I would’ve clicked no.
Hi CCL I have just tried downloading the software on another laptop and now the experiment runs! However, the screen remains green and does not show the text? Is it maybe because I have not created an excel sheet for the text variable?
Have you manually entered what text should display or have you used "YourText" because the indicates to the Text that it is looking for a defined variable.
Also green is an odd colour for it to be. Did you set the background colour to be green?
I’ve manually entered the text in the “text” box that appears when I create the text variable. But what I have written in that box does not show.
Thank you
Amanda
I am now on a newer MacBook. I’ve just tried to put a welcome screen with text and run it but it just shows a grey screen for 1 second, although this time it runs it. Just wondering why this is the case? all I have done is put information with what I want written int he text box when I edit the text variable, am I meant to do something else? thanks!
Hi, I am not trying to add my excel file for the instructions to the experiment but it will not let me add it. I am unsure why as I am following the instructions from a workshop I had earlier in the month.
