OS: Apple iMac OS Ventura V 13.7.4 PsychoPy version : Psychopy 3 v2025.2.4beta Standard Standalone Installation? (y/n) not sure URL of experiment: can’t share for confidentiality reasons Do you want it to also run locally? I don’t think so, participants complete the task remotely, not on our local Psychopy app.
What are you trying to achieve?: I would like to figure out why participants are getting this error intermittently/how its affecting the data/how to fix it. It seems like the data is still uploading to Pavlovia okay, which is what’s confusing to me.
What did you try to make it work? I checked that the data was saving sucessfully, I tried recreating the experiment, nothing works.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?: same error message kept coming up
Multiple participants have gotten this error at the end of their task. I check the uploaded data to make sure that they were presented all of the stimuli for the tasks, it looks like everythings there. Has anyone had this issue?
Thank you for your response! I checked the Gitlab repository, and the data is also available there.
For every participant we edit the default experiment name to their participant number. But we ahve been doing this since the beginning of the project but have only just started recieving these notifications
Let me know if there is any information I could share with you that would help. If you’d like I can share an example of what the task looks like, or example data from the project page and/or gitlab repository. Let me know what you think, thank you!
For each participant you should get a .csv file and a .log.gz file. Perhaps the syntax error is associated with the log file, rather than the csv file.
I would not recommend manually editing the file name on Gitlab, but I’m not sure if that’s what you said you were doing. There has been a recent change to the access of CSV files on Gitlab to reduce the affects of AI bots.
You could investigate the error further by using the Developer Console.

Perhaps you are ending up with multiple participants trying to use the same filename.
