Reverting back to an old tag via gitlab for an experiment built in pavlovia

[Irfa_Nisar]

Hello

I have an experiment that says ‘initializing the experiment’ and hangs. Fortunately i have had this error before several times and fixed this problem on different occasions. Unfortunately, I don’t remember my exact steps to fix this issue. I am looking to revert back to an old tag (I did this but did not solve the issue).

Can someone remind me what is the easiest way to debug this error in JS while I am at the browser OR do I have to go back all the way to builder and try and work things from there to fix this issue? Latter is how i built the experiment but I guess i have made changes that broke something after it was working or something about the browser has changes.

I am also wondering why there is not “Revert” button when i am at a tag merge checkin in gitlab. Is this only available through command line?

A quick response would be really appreciated.

If you still need to revert, I’ve added a method in today’s tip.

Reverting to an earlier version Go to Repository / Commits Select the desired commit by clicking on it. [image] Scroll down and view the old psyexp file. [image] Download the file [image] Replace the local copy of the same file with the downloaded version. Open the old file in Builder and resync. There is no need to replace old Python, JavaScript or index.html files since they can be recreated. Another possibility is to revert in GitLab directly but I got an error message when I att…
