Multiple components study in Jatos doesnt run next component
My objective is to create a study comprising multiple components, developed with OSWeb (three tasks) and featuring external links (two questionnaires). I will then upload this study to MindProbe for Prolific diffusion.
As it seems that it is not possible to manage the components directly from MindProbe, but only locally (to access the study assets folder), I installed JATOS Win Java on my PC and used the localhost9000 JATOS server.
For now, I have created three fake tasks to test the components and check how they link to each other.
However, while component 1 jumps to component 2, component 2 never jumps to component 3.
When muting task 2, however, it works well from task 1 to task 3 and the studies are displayed. This is not related to the tasks, as I also tested random task numbers; the problem lies with the serial position of 2 in the component order.
I followed the procedure indicated here: https://www.jatos.org/Combine-two-pre-written-studies-into-one.html and the changes in the html files here:
https://www.jatos.org/Write-your-own-Study-Basics-and-Beyond.html
I created the tasks in Opensesame and exported them as separate JZIP file. From the JATOS local GUI, I imported the studies separately to create three different studies, each with one component.
This created three folders in my Jatos local folder. From my study assets folder, I copied and pasted:
1) only the HTML files for tasks 2–3, from their study asset folder, into the task 1 folder;
2) the full repertoire for both tasks into the task 1 folder. Neither of these worked, and sometimes studies 2–3 don’t even launch, staying on the 'OSWeb Loading studies' page.
and 3) I directly exported the html files from OpenSesame "Save as autonomous html file". On Jatos, this method worked better as the tasks could be run.
Is there an easy way for me to create this multi-component study ?
I have been trying to make it work for days, and I even asked a colleague, but now I am stuck.
Thank you very much for your help with this.
