Pavlovia stuck on initializing, Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

[Liberos]

URL of experiment: Reversal Learning [PsychoPy]

Description of the problem:Hangs on initializing. The error produced is:
“Failed to load resource: the server responded Reversal%20Learning.js:1 with a status of 404 ()”
Study runs locally, both in the (chrome) browser and in PsychoPy. I followed the proposed solution here:

Stuck on loading experiment on Pavlovia. Failed to load resources

In that case, could you share your gitlab repo with me? (tpronk). I’ll take a look

(setting to inactive and back to running) with no change.

This may be referring to images it cannot find. I moved the images to the same folder as the Experiment file, removed the path from the external excel file, and verified it runs locally on the app and in Chrome. I added all of the pictures and excel file in Online → Additional resources. I then uploaded again. I now get a more useful error, but it is unclear why the targetImage variable cannot be found or what the default.png refers to (it is not a part of my experiment).

During troubleshooting I got more useful messages when trying to sync again:

I followed suggestions here to reset the root folder:

It is great that it worked with you But that makes me wonder even more why it does not work with me. I am doing the git pull and push to the point “Everything up-to-date”. Than I hit the Online run at PsychoPy, the red html warning pops up, I click Ok, and everything syncs again. After that the browser opens for entering participant’s number and session but the OK button there just stays disabled… Yolina, PsychoPy3 3.0.0b9, Windows

which resulted in new error messages:

I am going to try troubleshooting by wiping as much of Git and pavlovia as I can, so there cannot be inconsistencies with an original. Ideas welcome!

Per this post:

Pavlovia-Error message when loading experiment online

[Capture] [Capture1] Thank you for your response. I changed the file’s name in accordance with the do’s and the don’ts , and checked the properties of the image component. Yet, I keep getting the same error when I try to upload to pavlovia (the experiment works fine locally). Attached are screenshots of the console’s error message. Thank you.

I ensured there were no spaces in stimuli names. I am using jpg, so it is unlikely an issue with display, I think?

[Liberos]

It was a png image.

[wakecarter]

Try adding any PNG image to the experiment folder and call it default.png to fix that error

[Liberos]

@Liberos

le in Online → Additional resources. I then uploaded again. I now get a more useful error, but it is uncle

Thanks. As best I can tell, it was just a formatting issue of one image that was a png. That image opened fine and there was no error message related to it, making it tricky to identify. I reformated it online to a jpg (along with the relevant code).

I’m now having the same problem with another task and the formatting did not fix it. I’ll start another thread!
