[solved] Plugin mismatch

froukehe

I have placed the form plugins into the .opensesame folder under Lubuntu 13 and the latest version of OpenSesame. For some reason OpenSesame seems to detect the consent form, but not the other form plugins in the folder (see screenshot). I also tried placing the forms into the /usr/share folder and reinstalling OpenSesame, without an effect. Would you be able to help? Thanks!

Hi Frouke,

The easiest way to find out what goes wrong is by running OpenSesame in debug from a terminal, like so:

opensesame --debug

This way you will see the actual Python exception (please post), and we should be able to figure out what's wrong.

Cheers!

These lines:

plugins.py(138).plugin_property: Failed to parse /home/frouke/.opensesame/plugins/form_multiple_choice/info.json

Suggest that there is something wrong with the info.json files that contain the information about some of the newer plug-ins. Is there something obviously wrong with these files, for example when you open them in a text editor?

Dear Sebastian,

I have now tried to remove all form plugins except for the one I am trying to use (form_base).

It is loading according to the debug:

But unfortunately, I does not show up in Opensesame.

Hi Frouke,

There's something odd going on here. From your screenshot it looks like various plug-ins, presumably including form_base, have been incorrectly loaded, and have simply been added to the Miscellaneous group without an icon. These are the empty entries in the item toolbar.

You have manually installed the plugins to you home folder (~/.opensesame/plugins), right? How have you done this? (And why, btw?) I suspect that the plug-in files are simply corrupt for some reason. With the new-style plug-ins this triggers a json-parse warning, with the old-style plug-ins it fails silently. But the underlying problem is presumably the same. For example, what's in ~/.opensesame/plugin/form_base/info.txt? This should look like this: https://github.com/smathot/OpenSesame/blob/master/plugins/form_base/info.txt. But I bet it doesn't.

Cheers!
Sebastiaan

I reinstalled OpenSesame (sudo apt-get install --reinstall opensesame) and now the plugins works.

Great!
