Use Auto → JS code components wherever possible

Even if you aren’t planning to run your experiment online, using an Auto code component will help you spot syntax errors in your Python code.

There are some cases where valid Python code comes up as a Syntax error on the JavaScript side but these are rare and, when you encounter then, you can switch to a Both code component and edit or delete the JavaScript side to highlight the fact that they contain code that won’t run online unedited.

Where possible I isolate the lines of code that won’t translate into a separate code component so that most of my code is still being automatically checked and translated.

/* Syntax Error: Fix Python code */

I am trying to create an experiment in the builder but i constantly get this error when i use the coding element. During my previous coding sessions the coding component worked fine. /* Syntax Error: Fix Python code */ So i wanted to create a command where i check if the text from the textbox is congruent with the correct response (corresp). Even when i only type in ‘if’ i already get a sysntax error and i don’t understand why. [Screenshot 2022-12-03 at 14.45.24]
