OpenSesame run online

nogar

I've updated the version, but I no longer see where I can run the experiment online. I used to be able to go to Tools -> OSWeb -> Test experiment in an external browser, but I don't see it as an option anymore.

Would love to get your help.

It sounds like you're familiar with an older version of OpenSesame. In the current version, the process for running an experiment online has changed a bit. If you've updated to a newer version and you're looking to run your experiment in a browser with OSWeb, here's what you should do:

1. Open the Experiment Properties by clicking on the gear icon 🛠 in the top-right corner of the OpenSesame window.
2. In the Experiment Properties window, look for the 'Run experiment' section. Here, you should select 'In a browser with OSWeb (osweb)'.
3. After selecting this option, you can click any of the 'Run' buttons to start the experiment.
4. If your experiment is not compatible with OSWeb, an error message will detail the compatibility issues. You'll need to address these before you can successfully run the experiment online.
5. If there are no compatibility issues, the experiment will open in a new browser window. Remember that at this stage, the experiment is still executing locally on your computer. To host it online for others to participate, you'll need to publish it to a JATOS server.

If you've followed these steps and you're still having trouble finding the option to run your experiment online, please ensure that the opensesame-extension-osweb package is installed and up to date. This package is necessary for running experiments with OSWeb.

I hope this helps! If you need further assistance, feel free to ask. 😊
