I initially received a 403 Forbidden error when attempting to pilot my newly created project.
To fix this I did as in 403 forbidden error when piloting basic experiment---solved. This resulted in an error (see image) that is very similar to the one discussed earlier in this thread.

All and all what I did

  1. Project cleanup (delete .git / html / and any files generated previously by PsychoPy Builder):
    – only my resource files (images), .xlsx and .py .psyexp files remained

  2. Use Export HTML… tool of PsychoPy to generate /html folder

  3. Run the study online (and created a new project etc.)

  4. After project was deployed went to Dashboard/Project and changed to Piloting
    – Got the Forbidden error while oauth tokens were presented in the uri

  5. Discovered the aforementioned old thread and toggled Piloting > Inactive > Piloting

  6. Received the error in the image above.

The stacktrace:

It appears that the git repository is also now empty. As was with the previous time I tried using the Builder to push to the repo (and resorted to doing it manually with git then resulting to server and local branch mismatches).
