OS: Windows 11
PsychoPy version: 2025.1.1 Py 3.13
Standard Standalone Installation? Yes
URL of experiment: None yet
Do you want it to also run locally? Unsure
What are you trying to achieve? Upload Psychopy project to Pavlovia
What did you try to make it work? Use the “sync” button in the builder file, in line with instructions on Psychopy’s website.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
I made an experiment that runs perfectly on my local machine. We would like to eventually get this online, but I am brand new to Psychopy and Pavlovia and I’m running into difficulty. While I am able to compile my builder code to a JS file, I get the following error message when attempting to upload to a new project in Pavlovia. Interestingly, despite the below error, I do see an empty project appear in my dashboard in my Pavlovia account, which aligns with what I named the project while attempting to upload. However, there are no files in the project, just an empty folder. I believe there is an issue having to do with the last line copied below, but I do not know what the next step is to address this.
