Description of the problem:
Hi everyone, I am running into this error when I try to run my study on Pavlovia through Sona - TypeError: Cannot read property ‘SERVER’ of undefined
The rest of the experiment works well online but this error pops up at the end and does not save any data. I even have the option to save incomplete results turned on. Any advice on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
Do you have something in the completed URL option to send you back to Sona?

Double-check you have simple quotes

Other than that, I can’t see anything unusual with that.

My apologies for the delayed response! Just gave it a try now with the new quotes and it still did not work. I thought it might be different if an actual participant were to try but I just looked into the system and it says the experiment was aborted. Not sure what I can do…
What does your last Routine look like?

The last routine is only a text component saying thank you for doing the experiment and it has a duration of 10 seconds.
Might some participants close the tab before the 10 seconds is up?

I could change it such that it automatically completes without routine, but when I tried it myself and waited the 10 seconds, it still gave me the error once the routine finished.
Did you resolve this? I’m getting the same issue…
Same here. No idea when this started and how it’s affecting my data collection. I noticed it yesterday.
Unfortunately not…
I even got rid of my completion URL and still face the same issue.
Double check your most recent data, no data is created for me when this error appears and the same thing may be happening in your situation!
I’m in the same boat! No data is saving. Do you know what the error means? Does it mean it can’t connect the the server/database that is supposed to store the data? Do we need to define the server somewhere in our experiment?
Did you resolve this issue?
Can anyone confirm they are using version 3.2 and not 2020 of psychoJS?
I only cursorily looked at the code so I might be wrong. But I think I found a bug in the code from pavlovia. I did not remember this error happening before but i might be mistaken.
The error seems to stem from https://pavlovia.org/lib/data-3.2.js.
I have created an issue on github about this.
Hopefully they will get it fixed soon.
I think I finally got it working (I know it has been a while!).

The first thing I can recommend is to create a new folder and start from scratch. In the folder I previously had my experiment in, I had dozens of extra folders, old versions of the experiment, unnecessary documents, etc. I had three conditions, so I made one master folder containing three folders for each condition. Each of the condition folders had the relevant experiment file and each condition folder contained the stimuli files I used in my study. I would highly recommend organizing your files like this. After doing this, press the “Run experiment online” button (running man in green), and it should prompt you to create a new experiment. Make sure that you choose the condition folder and not the master folder when it gives you the browse option.

The second thing I would recommend is to see if your git is pointing to the right place. Reed does an excellent job of explaining it in this post:
Online experiment no longer syncing: "None points to a remote that doesn't exist"
If step 1 doesn’t work, give step 2 a try too. This completely fixed the problem for me. Good luck!
