Hi everyone,

I recently started my Masters in Psychology and am fairly new to PsychoPy. I’m trying to run an experiment (by pressing the green running man) onto the pre-set design that my professor has developed. The experiments runs for the first few seconds but then an error tab keeps showing that states:

ImportError("Conditions file not found: %s’ %os.path.abspath(fileName))

I would appreciate your help/guidance.

Thank you,  
Tamara

> Conditions file not found:

Hi @tamarazar, this means that the `importConditions` function cannot find your conditions file. Check that your conditions file exists, and the function has the correct path and filename. If you are using Builder, check the Conditions files exist in your loops, and use the Browse button in the loops to find the file.
