Trying to edit old psychpoy script faces many compilation issues but runs online

Online experiments

hello we have an experiment that is running control_2_rep

Project ID: 355498 online with problems and its listed as running on platform version 2022.1.4

in PSYCHOJS with no issues

however, when we download the files in psychpgy and tried to compile js script as is, but it is looking for files like /lib/psychojs-2022.1.4.js which aren’t there. Compiling the code to js also doesn’t make these missing files appear.

however

, I replicated the code in a new project, and it runs but I have no way to compile changes, as the current version doesn’t compile. It does produce something but with a lot of errors/warnings such as:

Component feedback comes from the plugin None, which is either not installed or not activated.
The component or routine ‘UnknownComponent’ is only implemented locally, so will do nothing when running online.

There is also this warning: Experiment was built in a future version of PsychoPy (2024.1.5), which seems strange as any 2024 version i tried can’t run the experiment locally because of the python 3.8/3.10 shift

I would start by removing “use version” so it doesn’t try to compile in 2022.1.4

In my experience, the main issue with using Python 3.10 with older scripts is that I have to recode complex list indices so that the calculation is done first.

e.g.
calc1 = Idx + 1
thisValue = list[calc1]

instead of thisValue - list[Idx + 1]

However, this only affects Auto code components if I touch them.
