PychoPy3 Error in Builder

Builder
1

Hello guys!

I currently create an experiment using the PsychoPy builder.
I tested the architecture of my experiment in a mock-up version - with shorter and less stimuli - and everything went well.
Now that I have built the actual experiment with the right kind of stimuli I get the following error massage:

“Traceback (most recent call last):

In order to provide you with as much information as possible I attach the .psyexp data and the used excel sheets in a single folder.

Thanks for helping me out!

Best,

I - okay my co-worker - found the error. There was a space added, where none belonged.

Thank you either way!

Hello Tomko,

without stimuli, nobody will be able to test the experiment. It might be better to upload a toy-version that replicates the error or give access to your repository.

But given that mock-up version ran and you full-blown experiment did not ran, there is probably an error in newly added material/routines aso. as you have already figured yourself.:wink:

Does the experiment crash directly, in a certain routine, after a number of trials, randomly?

Best wishes Jens

Hello Jens,

It actually crashed directly.
I wasn’t even able to compile the code.

Luckily, I already found the issue. There was a space added, where none belonged.
After removing the space everything seemed to have gone back to normal.

Thanks eitherway!
