If obj.contains(mouse): AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'contains'

[zyadelmahdy]

If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.

OS (e.g. Win10): MacOS Sequoia 15.1
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): v.2024.1.5
Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: y
What are you trying to achieve?: Trying to show 8 images as clickable choices, and then show feedback based on the click of the subject

What did you try to make it work?: It would be easier to show it in a video I believe:

New video by Zyad Elmahdy

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?: please check the video above, it is short, straight to the point, and shows what I did and the error after
Include pasted full error message if possible. “That didn’t work” is not enough information.
stims.csv (1.7 KB)

This is the csv I uploaded in the loop

The object itself can’t easily be referenced in a spreadsheet. However, you could compare mouse.clicked_name with your spreadsheet value.

How do I use a Mouse response in a Conditional task.?

OS(MAC OS High Sierra 10.13.5): PsychoPy version (2 PY3): I did a conditional task, and it is working very well. In this task, I present one stimulus at the top (A) and two at the bottom (B and C). The responses are “left” or “right” on the keyboard. If the response is correct, one “point” is added to a total_correct and a message “correct” show on the screen, and if this score is bigger than a criterion in the excel file, it ends the training routine AB. It is working so far. My question is…

[zyadelmahdy]

I am sorry, I couldn’t understand. So, by the stimulus name you mean 'img_1" …etc, between quotations? I already did that and I got the same error. If I understood wrongly, could you tell me what you meant?

[wakecarter]

Please show your mouse component and relevant code.

[zyadelmahdy]

Thanks for your help, that’s my code and mouse component:

h

[wakecarter]

Add print(mouse.clicked_name,corrAns) next to your Add Data code to investigate.

[zyadelmahdy]

I did, got the same error:

[wakecarter]

The print statement was to investigate the error rather than fix it. However, if you are still getting an error related to “contains” when you have no reference to contains in your code then it must be the mouse component itself causing the error.

I know there was a bug in 2024.1.5 which meant it was worse (for me) than 2024.1.4 but I can’t remember what it was. Try setting the version to 2024.1.4 or removing the clickable stimuli and setting the mouse to end routine on any click to test. The latest version 2024.2.4 should be fine.

Are you trying to set a mouse correct answer (in the data tab of the mouse component). I know that can cause this error.

Here are a couple of other threads about this error.

AttributeError: 'str' on clickable stimuli

[Screenshot 2021-11-03 at 13.21.04] OS (e.g. Win10): Mac M1 PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): 2021.2.3 Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: What are you trying to achieve?:. I’m building an experiment where images pop on the screen one at a time and the response has to be made by mouse or touch. What did you try to make it work?: I have a condition file with - image column to present the images in spatial order and a valid column for reference of valid click. What specifically we…

Mouse Response: Experiment exits on click

I’m trying to build an experiment with a mouse response. There are two text fields that are automatically generated from the excel list. People hear a sound and have to click on one of the words. So far that works, but once I test the experiment and click on one of the words, it exits. I’ve tried pretty much all the settings there are for the mouse response, without success. This is the error message that I get: if obj.contains(mouse): AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'contai…

[zyadelmahdy]

I was already able to set a mouse correct answer, but now I am trying to make image components clickable, that’s when I started facing that issue. I originally had the later version for MacOS, but I was advised to download an older version: v.2024.1.5

are you suggesting downloading v.2024.1.4?

I did delete the mouse component and added it again, same issue unfortunately.

I got this in the logs:

@zyadelmahdy

print(mouse.clicked_name,corrAns)

Sorry – your code uses corr_ans not corrAns

2024.1.4 might be better but try again with 2024.1.5 after fixing the print statement

[zyadelmahdy]

I changed it to corr_ans, and it didn’t work, then when I downgraded the psychopy version, it worked fine. Thanks a lot.

Just one more thing though, it always shows the wrong answer feedback message even when I choose the correct answer:

if correct == 1:
    fb_msg = 'Good boy!'
    feedback_img = 'img/kiss.jpeg'

    
else:
    fb_msg = 'WROOOONG!'
    feedback_img = 'img/wrong.jpg'

print("Setting feedback image to:", feedback_img)    
    
fb_img.setImage(feedback_img)

[wakecarter]

What is the outcome of the print statement?

[zyadelmahdy]

this is the output:

Are you sure there isn’t anything higher up. There should be Setting feedback image to: img/wrong.jpg and the output of print(mouse.clicked_name,corr_ans)

[zyadelmahdy]

@wakecarter

Setting feedback image to: img

Yes, it was too long to paste, I uploaded it to Google Docs:

PsychoPy

[wakecarter]

Here’s the key bit

['img_8'] ans_2
Setting feedback image to: img/wrong.jpg

mouse.clicked_name[0] was “img_8”
corr_ans was “ans_2”

They don’t match

[zyadelmahdy]

I am sorry, couldn’t understand what you mean. Do you mean that I get the wrong image because I choose the wrong answer? But I chose the correct ones too and still got the wrong image as feedback

[wakecarter]

Your image components are all called img_x
Your correct answer therefore also needs to be of the form img_x
What is ans_x?

[zyadelmahdy]

It worked, thank you so much

We had a problem with this same error. My understanding from looking into this is that the error results from the translation between python and javascript. The javascript file that is automatically generated includes a “contains” function and that is missing in javascript (but present in python). This error will occur as long as there are things listed in “Clickable stimuli” on the mouse object. We worked around this error by eliminating the “Clickable stimuli” – there is nothing in that box. Then we added code to score the mouse component. The code we added was in the “End Routine” section. We have 6 boxes that participants need to choose from and click on the correct one (where a stimulus was previously). The variable “Correct” is from the stimulus file. Here is the code. In short we use a series of if…elif…elif…else to check if each box has been clicked.

ThisItemCorrect = 0
if mouse_resp.isPressedIn(Box1test):
    #debug_text.text = "Correct: "+str(Correct)+" Box1"
    if(Correct == 1):
        ThisItemCorrect = 1
elif mouse_resp.isPressedIn(Box2test):
    #debug_text.text = "Correct: "+str(Correct)+" Box2"
    if(Correct == 2):
        ThisItemCorrect = 1
elif mouse_resp.isPressedIn(Box3test):
    #debug_text.text = "Correct: "+str(Correct)+" Box3"
    if(Correct == 3):
        ThisItemCorrect = 1
elif mouse_resp.isPressedIn(Box4test):
    #debug_text.text = "Correct: "+str(Correct)+" Box4"
    if(Correct == 4):
        ThisItemCorrect = 1
elif mouse_resp.isPressedIn(Box5test):
    #debug_text.text = "Correct: "+str(Correct)+" Box5"
    if(Correct == 5):
        ThisItemCorrect = 1
elif mouse_resp.isPressedIn(Box6test):
    #debug_text.text = "Correct: "+str(Correct)+" Box6"
    if(Correct == 6):
        ThisItemCorrect = 1
        
NumItemsCorrect = NumItemsCorrect + ThisItemCorrect
# increments for ThisItemCorrect has been set to 1

if(ThisItemCorrect == 1):
    if(NumItemsCorrect >= int(NumResp)):
        NumTrialsCorrect = NumTrialsCorrect + 1
        NumItemsCorrect = 0
    if(NumTrialsCorrect >= 1): # stopping rule
        NumTrialsCorrect = 0
        NumItemsCorrect = 0
        SixItemTrials.finished=True
else:
    NumItemsCorrect = 0
    NumTrialsCorrect = 0 # trials correct in a row
    # for stopping rule, so an error resets the counter
