I suspect I have a Git problem?

[sbell]

Hello, All

I have a few problems, but I’m going to start here.
If I try and push my project to Pavlovia from any other directory than “/Users/myusername/” I get the below error.

To circumvent this I tried to push it using git manually way back before Christmas when I was working on my dissertation project. This worked, but I am fudging my way through.

If I set the ‘create project’ setting to “/Users/myusername/” it will attempt to push 1000’s of files, and I have made the psychopy project really small to try and reverse engineer the problem. It will create an experiment in Pavlovia, but no code will be there.

Have I screwed up a git configuration somewhere along the line? I suspect so.

Many thanks for any suggestions

Sam

If I try and push my project to Pavlovia from any other directory than “/Users/myusername/” I get the below error.

I think the problem is that you have a .git folder and files in /Users/myusername which you should delete before you can start using the folders correctly.

Project unable to sync. Won't permit local path

URL of experiment: Description of the problem: I have seen others who have had this error but I have not been able to fix mine as of yet. Below is the error I receive - does this mean that I have to remove all git files from my desktop? I don’t really have another directory that this can go through without using my desktop. The exact folder I am using has nothing other than this experiment in it. Thanks for any advice. Traceback (most recent call last): File “/Applications/PsychoPy3.app/Conte…

Hi, I’m using Py3 (version PsychoPy-3.0.0b7) on a Mac (macOS High Sierra 10.13.6). While I was trying to upload a test experiment with one simple trial, I’ve got this error message from the terminal: Last login: Sat Aug 18 10:21:47 on ttys000 MBPdiVaerioCori:~ utente$ /Applications/PsychoPy3.app/Contents/MacOS/PsychoPy3 ; exit; 12:41:27 PM: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for ‘Windows bitmap file’ 12:41:27 PM: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for ‘Windows bitmap file’ 12:41:27…

File location error- repository empty

I have 4 different experiments I need to run for different lists of stimuli. I was able to make 1 experiment and upload it to Pavlovia. I tried to copy that experiment, rename it, put it in a different folder with the relevant stimuli files, and create a new experiment on Pavlovia but it seems like there’s a problem with my file location. Even if it does sync, the repository is empty and I get a 403 Forbidden error when opening the link. When I sync this new experiment, I get this error: Traceb…

Hi, Wakefield

Thanks for the reply I will read through these and investigate.

Hi, Wakefield

Deleting the (agrhhhh, hidden) .git folder (in my AGHHHHHH user directory) fixed it.

I got lost with this, my uni library internet was stopping me connect to pavlovia and change my password so some tail chasing.

I thought “I wonder if there is a .git folder somewhere” that I didn’t know I hadn’t trashed and yes there was!

THANKYOU
