URL of experiment: https://gitlab.pavlovia.org/obemar/masterarbeit Description of the problem: Hi there, I’m piloting a language experiment on Pavlovia and at the very end - after the “thank you”-end-screen has already closed - I receive a TypeError: Symbol.keyFor is not a function error message.…

A colleague found my error: I unknowingly used “Symbol” as a variable name in my experiment. But “Symbol” is also a JavaScript keyword. So there was some sort of conflict between my variable name and the JS key word. After renaming my variable, everything worked fine.

The problem line is Object.prototype.upper = "".toUpperCase; so I’ve added a warning to my crib sheet.
