OS (e.g. Win10): Windows 11
PsychoPy version (e.g. 2024.2.4 Py 3.8): 2024.2.4
Standard Standalone Installation? (y/n) IYes
Do you want it to also run online? (y/n) Yes
What are you trying to achieve?: I am trying to run my experiment but i keep getting stuck on this Type Error message when i trying to click a button with my mouse. It seems mouse component Clickable stimuli can’t detect the name of my button in that routine at runtime
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
It gives me this error message whenever I use my mouse component to click a button. I dont understand why it’s not working; it should work. I would appreciate the help here.
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘contains’)
