Issue with creating and syncing a new project to pavlovia

Online experiments
1

Hello,
I downloaded a public experiment and just changed the trial number in code and want to sync it to my pavlovia but I am getting: File “subprocess.pyc”, line 1704, in _execute_child
OSError: [Errno 7] Argument list too long: ‘/Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/git-core/git’–what could be the reason

Thanks a lot!!

Hello,

Essentially my project is working and syncing to pavlovia just fine but I need to create the exact same experiment with a minor change: I will just add mask after I am presenting stimuli, thats the only change for the second experimer. For that, I thought I should create a new folder, basically just copy pasted the old folder to a new folder. At first i just copied the same experimenr and deleted the mask routinws and syncing but it didnt work as a newproject it just synced to the old one. Now i tried creating a new experimenr but i get

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.

an editor opened by ‘git commit’. Please make sure all processes

are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process

may have crashed in this repository earlier:

remove the file manually to continue.’

Even thoug i just deleted the git folder in this new folder.

Then I tried again after deleting the failed project in pavlovia but tis time I got:
Alert 4705: Column name ‘mask’ in conditions file already exists as a variable in this experiment (user).
For more info see https://docs.psychopy.org/alerts/4705.htmlException ignored in: <function BaseAuiFrame.del at 0x12c2265e0>

What step may I be missing?

Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,

One of my projects syns perfectly and its local root is in my desktop/nameofthefolder

When I specifically want to root the exp folder to

/Users/username/Downloads/nameofthefolder

i get error: change it to downloads only and i still get errors.

Now i moved the exp folder to desktop because the other experimwnr was working just fine like this. But this time i got change it to username only error. And when i did i get:

OSError: [Errno 7] Argument list too long: ‘/Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/git-core/git’

I am not getting whats the problem here can someone please explain whats the difference where should we put the folder etc?

Thanks a lot!

Argument list too long seems to be related to the number of files – which suggests that you are trying to sync more than just your experiment or have very long file/path names.
