I made a new experiment using the Builder view, but when I try to load it, it fails and I get the following error message Failed to load C:\Users\adrian\Insync\Work\Projects\SoL\Pic viewing 1.psyexp. Please send the following to the PsychoPy user list Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\P…

We think this was caused by renaming a Routine; this was a new feature and apparently not working correctly as of 1.84.1. The bug that led to this issue is now fixed and will be included in next release (1.84.2). For anyone else having this issue you can fix your file manually like this (make a cop…

One way to corrupt an experiment file is certainly to set a stimulus to update during a static period (e.g. ISI) and then delete that static period. I’m not sure if that’s what you’ve done though. Could you post the experiment file so we can take a look, but also post any hints about what you did be…

I don’t ‘think’ I created and then deleted a static period (but I might be wrong). Although, I might have deleted/modified the default ‘trial’ routine that might have contained a static period. I’m also displaying a fixation cross during the static period (but it’s onset and offset are not within …

OK, here’s your fixed experiment: Pic viewing 1.psyexp (12.2 KB) I believe you found a new way to break the static period, by renaming a routine that contained one. We’ll have to add that to the list of static component errors. But the fix was actually easy when you know how: your experiment was …

Thanks for the help! I’m pleased my incompetence has proved at least slightly useful for once.

I had a similar issue yesterday (just as I was about to demonstrate a practical prototype to a lecturer :-S) - it looks like when routines are renamed they are not removed from the namespace immediately (for instance, if you rename a trial called trial as trial, the routine is named trial_2. Intere…

Hi Jon I dont think we changed any of the routine names. Here is the file below: beTaskedit.psyexp (21.4 KB)

If I replace <Routine name="response_2"/> with <Routine name="confidence_2"/> the experiment works, and confidence_2 was otherwise not on the Flow, so I’ve got a strong suspicion there was a “rename” performed at some stage :wink: Which is fine - you did the right thing - it’s just that we had …

I was having a similar problem, but wasn’t able to figure out the solution. I have attached my psychoPy experiment here if anyone wants to take a look and help me out. Thank you in advance. MentalRotation.psyexp (50.7 KB)

As explained in the rest of this thread, these errors are coming about from Routines that have been renamed and they can be fixed in a text editor. In your case you created a routine called InsterStimInt and then renamed it to InterStimInt so you needed to find the line that said <Routine name="In…

Thanks Jon… Very helpful as always!!! Hope you are well. :slight_smile:
