This was a problem with the slider rating equality check with ‘undefined’. Turns out getRating() returns an actual `undefined` type, rather than a string of ‘undefined’. So change:

`if (thisSlider.getRating() !== undefined) { // so equality check is with an undefined type, not string`

Here is a working example if that fails [sliderCode.psyexp](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/psychopy/original/2X/f/f538da52a2c3f88c678cfb756f5b05ff646db890.psyexp) (6.2 KB)
