Psychopy 2022.1.2 Crashing

bmidler · April 17, 2022, 1:02am

Hi, I recently downloaded version 2022.1.2 and it doesn’t work. When I try opening a psychopy file (either coder or builder) it just crashes (“Psychopy Error”). When I try to create a new project, it often crashes as well. On the occasions when it doesn’t, and I try to either run an existing project or run a new one created from scratch, it fails with the following error:

python[84191:4837704] Warning: Expected min height of view: (<NSPopoverTouchBarItemButton: 0x7f83eaf973f0>) to be less than or equal to 30 but got a height of 32.000000. This error will be logged once per view in violation. 2022-04-16 17:17:13.390

I tried re-installing an older (2021) version of psychopy, and it still works/runs just fine. I’ve also tried installing the 2022 version on a different machine (also a mac), and it works just fine as well. I suspect there’s some issue with the instal, but I’ve tried deleting and re-installing several times to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Update: the .py file now pens and runs, but when I try to open the builder file it says an unhandled error was produced with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/Applications/PsychoPy.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.8/gitlab/exceptions.py”, line 304, in wrapped_f

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

gitlab.exceptions.GitlabGetError: 404: 404 Project Not Found

Again, none of this happens when I run the same program on another machine.

After I logged into pavlovia in psychopy, I could open the builder file. When I try to run it, though, python crashes.

And now it’s back to psychopy crashing upon being opened–I literally didn’t change anything.

Does your experiment have a button component?

bmidler · April 17, 2022, 6:36am

No. The issues appear even when I open a blank project, anyway.

Unfortunately it seems that 2022 is not yet compatible with all versions of MacOS. Until there is a fix you may need to continue using 2021.2.3.

Hi @bmidler,

I just filed a bug report containing a solution to this issue that might work for your too, see here:

github.com/psychopy/psychopy

Crash on Startup when loading Pavlovia project (404 Project Not Found)

Problem: PsychoPy 2022.1.3 does not open .psyexp files for projects that have b…een pushed to Pavlovia before. I am running PsychoPy on Windows 11, but given the solution to this bug (see below), I assume that the issue should occur on all platforms. Error Log: This is the stacktrace from the "last_app_load.log" file when trying to open a respective psyexp file: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\gitlab\exceptions.py", line 304, in wrapped_f return f(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\gitlab\mixins.py", line 112, in get server_data = self.gitlab.http_get(path, **kwargs) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\gitlab\client.py", line 662, in http_get result = self.http_request( File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\gitlab\client.py", line 628, in http_request raise gitlab.exceptions.GitlabHttpError( gitlab.exceptions.GitlabHttpError: 404: 404 Project Not Found The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\Lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\psychopyApp.py", line 102, in <module> main() File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\Lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\psychopyApp.py", line 98, in main start_app() File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\Lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\psychopyApp.py", line 26, in start_app app = startApp(showSplash=showSplash) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\__init__.py", line 85, in startApp _psychopyApp = PsychoPyApp( File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\_psychopyApp.py", line 215, in __init__ self.onInit(testMode=testMode, **kwargs) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\_psychopyApp.py", line 386, in onInit self.showBuilder(fileList=exps) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\_psychopyApp.py", line 599, in showBuilder self.newBuilderFrame(fileName=fileName) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\_psychopyApp.py", line 584, in newBuilderFrame self.builder = BuilderFrame(None, -1, File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\builder\builder.py", line 208, in __init__ self.fileOpen(filename=fileName, closeCurrent=False) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\app\builder\builder.py", line 735, in fileOpen self.project = pavlovia.getProject(filename) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\psychopy\projects\pavlovia.py", line 1253, in getProject project = session.gitlab.projects.get(name) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\gitlab\v4\objects\projects.py", line 782, in get return cast(Project, super().get(id=id, lazy=lazy, **kwargs)) File "C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\lib\site-packages\gitlab\exceptions.py", line 306, in wrapped_f raise error(e.error_message, e.response_code, e.response_body) from e gitlab.exceptions.GitlabGetError: 404: 404 Project Not Found ``` Reason: I identified two bugs that caused the issue for me. **BUG 1:** too restrictive re.match pattern in pavlovia.py SOLUTION FOR BUG 1: In file: C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\Lib\site-packages\psychopy\projects\pavlovia.py LINE 1201 REPLACE `url = re.match("https:\/\/gitlab\.pavlovia\.org\/\w*\/\w*\.git", stdout)` WITH `url = re.match("https:\/\/gitlab\.pavlovia\.org\/[\w\.]*\/[\w\.]*\.git", stdout)` REASON FOR ERROR: My username contains a dot (frank.papenmeier), which was not covered by \w **BUG 2:** if projects.json in AppData\Roaming\psychopy3\pavlovia\ does not contain the project, getting the project info via gitlab fails, because user is not logged in, resulting in the "404 Project Not Found" error message SOLUTION FOR BUG 2: In file: C:\Program Files\PsychoPy\Lib\site-packages\psychopy\projects\pavlovia.py ADD AFTER LINE 1252 (and thus right before the following command "project = session.gitlab.projects.get(name)" that would otherwise fail: ``` if not session.user: nameSpace = name.split('/')[0] if nameSpace in knownUsers: # Log in if user is known login(nameSpace, rememberMe=True) ``` thus the corrected code at the respective section looks as follows: ``` if nameSearch is not None: name = nameSearch.group(0) if not session.user: nameSpace = name.split('/')[0] if nameSpace in knownUsers: # Log in if user is known login(nameSpace, rememberMe=True) project = session.gitlab.projects.get(name) return PavloviaProject(project.id) ``` I took the code block for logging into Pavlovia from an older version of pavlovia.py. This version also contained multiple additional ways of looking through further known users, which I thought is not required and thus left out.
