Description of the problem:
I just downloaded the newest update to 2021.1.0 and now my Psychopy wont sync with Pavlovia in any experiment i tried
the error appearing is :
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command ‘[‘git’, ‘branch’, ‘–show-current’]’ returned non-zero exit status 129.
ן have found this
and deleted my versions file in my AppData File but still got the same error
would love to get some help 
I just updated and I am getting the same error. I am on MacOS 11.1.

It doesn’t seem to matter if I change the psychopy version in the experiment settings. I get the error when I try to sync my experiment with pavlovia and also I click the “get details of this experiment” icon. I am able find existing studies on pavlovia (the magnifying glass icon).

i wonder why mine show exit status 129 and your 128
@jon i have noticed this is reoccurring issue. is there something that can be done? i really need to present my experiment online soon
Thank you!
If you can’t get 2021.1.0 working I’d recommend going back to 2020.2.10
i really enjoyed working with the new features like the button. but if it is impossible to work with this version i will go back
i tried using the 2020.2.10 version
deleted the ‘versions’ file and the git file and still nothing works

Try copying the psyexp file and resources into a clean folder and sync it as a new project.
Make sure you are using a folder on your hard drive, not cloud storage or your desktop.
I have tried doing that. it shows the same error even when choosing the older version in experiment settings.
I noticed that an html file was created but not the git.
a notice sign popped up
Maybe the issue is that i did upgrade it halfway through an experiment
perhaps I should uninstall this version and reinstall the old one.
Ah, OK, I can see the issue. It’s my mistake. I’ll have a fix for you today.
The issue is only with new projects, existing studies should continue to sync just fine
Thank you! appreciate it very much and cant wait to use the new version online.
It looks great in the builder
I’ll just chime in that in my case it is a study that is already online and working under the previous version. I am able to uninstall and revert back to the previous version and sync without issues (my current solution). When I update again I get the same error as stated above. I’ve gone back and forth a few times to check and same behavior every time, i.e., sync error on latest version, no problems when i downgrade.
I’m in no rush for a solution, just want to give more info in case it’s helpful.
Thank you, Jon.
Is there an estimate date for the release of the newer 2021 version?
2021.1.1 is available last night
