URL of experiment: [https://run.pavlovia.org/ennadarcy/testingaslearning](https://run.pavlovia.org/ennadarcy/testingaslearning)

Description of the problem: I made one or two small edits to the files, that I have saved in my desktop folder, then I synced it to the experiment online. Now the experiment cant be run online (will only download 8/9) or play locally.

This error appears when I try get the experiment to run locally  
File “/Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/psychopy/visual/textbox2/fontmanager.py”, line 301, in upload  
gl.GL\_ALPHA, gl.GL\_UNSIGNED\_BYTE, self.data)  
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 9: \<class ‘TypeError’\>: wrong type

##### Experiment ended.

Anyone any ideas?

Kind regards,

Hi Enna,

Please can I check if you are using version psychopy 2020.2.10 ? That seemed to fix the error in this case

This is in an experiment which was working fine on my office computer (Windows) a few days ago. Here is the full error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/xxx\_lastrun.py", line 123, in \<module\> autoLog=True, File "/Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/psychopy/visual/textbox2/textbox2.py", line 218, in …

Thanks,

Becca,

Yes you are right! I was using version 2020.2.8 when this kept happening.
