Unable to download resource: .sid: {}

OS: Win11
PsychoPy version: v2024.2.4
Standard Standalone Installation?: y
URL of experiment: Pavlovia
Do you want it to also run locally? (y/n) y

What are you trying to achieve?:
I want this to work on Pavlovia as well as locally. Yesterday it worked fine on Pavlovia, today it does not. I didn’t make any real changes to the experiment, but don’t remember exactly what changed - probably just moving some files (I tried putting copies back where they were). But it says “unable to download resource: .sid: {}”

What did you try to make it work?:

I followed all the advice at the below link. All linked filenames were copied and pasted from the files themselves, so there is no opportunity for case issues. I tried it in chrome and firefox. I tried restarting the machine. I tried making a new folder and a new pavlovia project, then pushing all files. No joy.

Link to the most relevant existing thread you have found:

Unable to download all resources in Pavlovia

Originally I didn’t have anything in that box, but when I switched to 2021.2.3, that was another weird thing that started. If I don’t put “html” there, it won’t export the .js and .html files into the html folder (they will instead be put in the same folder as the psychopy experiment) and then it won’t run on Pavlovia. So then I started adding “html” there and it fixed that problem. Is that why the resources aren’t downloading automatically? That might make sense for the new experiments, but tha…

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:

Error

Unfortunately we encountered the following error:

when downloading resources for experiment: JasonGuidedUnguided
unable to download resource: .sid: {}

Try to run the experiment again. If the error persists, contact the experiment designer.

I think the issue was I hadn’t linked to an online pavlovia survey. Doh. Solved now.
