Trouble with text on screen when running test

Description of the problem:
When running on pavlovia, In the tasks involving text (stroop task and word recognition) the actual word isn’t coming up correctly, but rather the display of information/coding is coming up. When running locally on psychopy I have no issue so I don’t know why this is happening. I will attach some pictures of what is coming up instead of the words flashing onscreen for the stroop task and word recognition. I also noticed In the coding script on pavlovia there is a red error which says ‘missing “;” before statement, however there is a semi colon just before. I will attach a picture of this too.

By then the script was small enough that I could view what was going on in the script. Weirdly, left_ and right_ did not exist there! So, it turns out that when the JS code is being generated the final underscore was being removed when the code is generated! That meant there was a clash between the variable lef…
