Unable to populate the Textbox online

Online experiments
1

URL of experiment: https://pavlovia.org/run/Marta_G/task3_recognition

Description of the problem:
the issue is around the textBox component: the box is visible, however it’s no longer possible to input any text. The experiment runs perfectly in the builder. I was unable to find any answers to this problem on the forum- I did come across issues around how input from the textBox is saved in the output sheet - however in my case the issue is around populating the box in the first place.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

Hi Marta,

please could you share your project URL with us so that we can take a look?

If possible use > view code> settings> permisions> set to public > share the URL to gitlab with us.

Initially I suspected this was an issue with presenting the textbox multiple times (a known bug now logged as an issue https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/issues/3267) - but it seems this is the first time you use the textbox component in your experiment is that correct?

Thanks,
Becca

Hi Becca,
Thank you for looking into it.

  • participants are required to type 3x numbers in the response box. It works perfectly in the builder.

Yes, this is my 1st time using the textBox option.

Many thanks,
Marta

Hi Marta,

Sorry I should have been clearer I meant the gitlab project URL (rather than the task URL).

To share you can use: view code> settings> permissions (set to public) then share the url of the project page (what you see when you click view code) with me.

Thanks,
Becca

Hello,
No, it’s my fault. Hopefully this is what you require:


Many thanks,

Hello again,
I don’t know whether the above link will work.
Perhaps this one (?)


Just in case I have added you to to my project (called task3_recognition)- hopefully you won’t mind.
Many thanks,
Marta

Hi Marta, thanks for that - I can’t quite see your project (I am guessing it might not be public on permissions) if you add me to the project please can you add me with developer access so that I can view the files :slight_smile: Thanks,
Becca

Apologies, I’ve no idea what’s going on. I have it set to public so should be visible and accessible. I’ve amended your status to ‘developer’. Apologies again! :roll_eyes:

Hi Marta,

Sorry but I am really not sure what is happening with this one - your settings all look correct to me. It is definitely a bug, and I know there are a few things the development team are working hard to fix at the moment with the textbox component.

For now, I have implemented a fix in your task so it should do what you want it to do.

this uses the method from the digit span demo uploaded a while ago https://gitlab.pavlovia.org/demos/digit-span-task

Hope this helps,
Becca
