Key press to skip routine works in PsychoPy but not Pavlovia

The issue is that your keyboard components appear as undefined on Pavlovia until a key is pressed.

There are three different solutions to this.

  1. If you are ending the routine on a key press then you could put the code in End Routine. Why do you have two keyboard components (key_resp and cardOpeningStartsHereKeys) monitoring for the same key press?

  2. You could start with if key_resp != undefined: so that you only check for the keys if a key has been pressed. The problem with this method is that it doesn’t work offline.

  3. You could ditch your keyboard components in favour of keys = event.getKeys() which will then be defined even when empty. (if 'return' in keys:). You’d need to also define event as per my crib sheet.
