Pavlovia data file names changed suddenly?

Online experiments
3

Hi @bjackson55 and @PsyTechMMU,

What version of PsychoPy were you using before and after you noticed the filename issue? There was a bug in PsychoPy 2022.1.0 to 2022.2.4 which caused the URL parameters to fail to update the data filename. If you are experiencing the same bug, I would try one of these solutions:

  1. For new experiments: Change your PsychoPy version to 2022.2.5. The bug should be fixed in this version. (it may also be fixed in 2023.1.0, but I have not tested the latest version yet). I would only do this for new experiments where you have not started data collection yet.
  2. For currently running experiments: Add the following code snippet in the Before Experiment section of a Javascript-only code component: util.addInfoFromUrl(expInfo); This should force the URL parameters to be read before filename creation. I would recommend this solution as a bug fix for experiments you are currently running.

Hope this helps,
