If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.

OS (e.g. Win10): Win11
PsychoPy version (e.g. 2024.2.4 Py 3.8): 2026.1.2
Standard Standalone Installation? (y/n) If not then what?: y
URL of experiment: Pavlovia (agarciapenagos1/rcrage_v1)
Do you want it to also run locally? (y/n) n
What are you trying to achieve?: The task is stuck on initializing.

What did you try to make it work?: Error in developer tools is: Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected garbage after module, starting with ‘}’ I have checked my code in builder and I am unable to find where I might be having an extra or missing bracket.

Link to the most relevant existing thread you have found: Experiment stuck on initialising - Pavlovia Pilot - #2 by esl342

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:

The error has persisted, with the same error found in developer tools. I’ve tried to remake the code, but I still continue running across the same problem. I would really appreciate any help

Hello @agarciapenagos

It is a little bit difficult to pinpoint the error becuase it is a rather complex long experiment and you use same code-components that are set to both. Also, you seem to manipulate sound-componentes via code and via the builder. This may cause/create a conflict. Also, some of your sound-components do not have a start-time or start-condition. Perhaps this causes the problem?

Best wishes Jens

I suspect that you have unbalanced brackets in codeDiamonds (trial). If import random is the only reason that code component is set to “Both” you could move that line to a dedicated Both/Python code component.

Thanks a lot. I’ll let you know if it works!

Thanks! I still haven’t pinpointed it. I’ll let you know if I have any progress. Thanks again!
