Timeout of form_text_input not working when running in OsWeb
in OpenSesame
Hello, and apologies if I have missed an existing answer to this question despite looking through previous posts.
I have trouble getting my experiment in OpenSesame to work in OsWeb. My participants are supposed to get 90 seconds to recall as many words as possible starting with a certain letter. For this, I use a form_text_input module. However, the 90000 ms timeout that I specified, while working well offline, does not work when I export to OsWeb it seems.
Please advise on a solution. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce that the timeout is not working. I shall make a bug report on github.

Thank you Eduard! I just hope this can get fixed rather soon then, as I was hoping to run my experiement from next week since the results go into my bachelor's thesis... :)
Is there any way for me to keep track of when this gets worked on?
If you have an account, you can watch the repository, and then you will get notifications if there are updates. If you feel adventurous, you can of course try to find out what is the problem, or even fix it yourself.
There are also some workaround that might suit you. On the forum, when you look for text input osweb, you'll find older solutions that were proposed before the text input form was compatible with Osweb. Perhaps that works for you?

Thanks, I managed to solve this now using an inline JavaScript that checks a timer variable and has a timeout for the keyboard_response module.
Great!
Hi @kakben,
Great that you could solve it! Just out of curiosity, would you mind sharing how you were able to do it? I initially understood you wanted to set the timeout of a form_text_input, but it sounds like you're actually setting that of a keyboard_response object. I'm asking 'cause if you did manage to find a way to change the timeout value of a form_text_input dynamically, it might be very useful to another user who's stuck with a similar problem: https://forum.cogsci.nl/discussion/comment/25537#Comment_25537
