Hey guys, I need you help.
When I run my experiment on Pavlovia, it can’t find my Excel file. It’s running perfectly locally.
That’s the error message:
Unfortunately we encountered the following error:
- when importing condition: Frases_PB.xlsx
- when getting the value of resource: Frases_PB.xlsx
- Frases_PB.xlsx is not available for use (yet), its current status is: "DOWNLOADING"
Try to run the experiment again. If the error persists, contact the experiment designer.
Can anybody help me?

What code are you using to download Frases_PB.xlsx ?
At what point does this error come up?
The issue is that there is insufficient tame lag between requesting the file and needing it.

The error occurs when the loop starts. I added this code recently trying to solve that problem.
psychoJS.start({
expName: expName,
expInfo: expInfo,
resources: [
{
path: ‘Frases_PB.xlsx’,
name: ‘Frases_PB.xlsx’
}
]
});
Thanks for your help, I managed to solve it by this link you sent me.
The problem was that in the settings>online, I filled the Output Path with the experiment file, it was supposed to be left in blank.
