OSWeb version 1.3.1

saamahsaamah
in OSWeb

Hello,

I am a complete newbie to Open Sesame, testing out to see if it will work for my purposes. I made the gaze cuing experiment in the basic tutorial and converted it to JATOS and it seems to work.

But then, I updated the OSWeb extension to version 1.3.1 (it was 1.3.0 before), converted the exact same experiment to JATOS, and the new version doesn't work. It gets stuck on a screen showing the Open Sesame logo, it says OSWeb 1.3.1, "Loading experiment" and then nothing else.

Does anyone know why this happens? If I go back to run the version I converted earlier using OSWeb 1.3.0 that is still fine.

Also, how do you make it so that JATOS records the actual key response, rather than just recording whether it was correct or not? In the normal offline version of Open Sesame that is recorded as "response_keyboard_response".

Thanks and Happy May Day!

Saamah

    Hi Saamah,

    Good!

    There's an error message that you don't see. It depends on the browser how you can see that though. In Chrome, you can right click on the window, select Inspect and then open the Console tab, as shown below. What does it say there?

    The response will be stored as the variable response.

    Cheers!

    Hi Sebastiaan,

    Thanks for the quick reply. On the response data, the variable response does not exist in the results file JATOS exported. On the running error, I did indeed find this error info. It says the following:

    Hi Saamah,

    Thanks! Could you attach the experiment here? And which browser (+ browser version) are you using?

    Cheers!

    Morning Sebastiaan!

    Thank you again. Here is the zip file produced when I exported the experiment using OSweb 1.3.1. I've been using Firefox 66.0.3. But I also tried it with Google Chrome and have the same problem.

    Thanks

    This must be a regression error. I will look into it soon!

    Hi @Daniel - did you find a solution to this problem?

    Thanks

    Hi Saamah,

    I'm actually looking into it now and it just works for me, so the error must occur elsewhere.

    The `Error reading osexp: Error: Could not read remote osexp, TypeError: e.substr is not a function osweb.1.3.1.bundle.js:1:102711

    Give me the impression that this has to do with the loading of the file, and that there is an error in the error handler for that part (I know that sounds weird). I'm going to try and fix this, so we can get the real error message in your case of what is going wrong.

    I'll be back shortly.

    Ok -thanks!

    Hi Samaah,

    I can't seem to reproduce the error, on my Jatos installation the experiment just works fine, so it's hard for me to pinpoint what is going wrong.

    There are only 2 places where the substr function is used, which is mentioned in your error message. Another element of the error message gives me the impression that the error occurs during loading of the filepool items, as if the name of a file is empty and thus not handled correctly...

    What version of Jatos are you using?

    @sebastiaan shall I create a temporary jatos.cogsci.nl account for saamah to see if it works for her there? If so, then this has to do with her Jatos installation, but I don't like it that the error message is not more informative, so do want to build in some extra checks.

    One thing that has changed between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 is the unicode filename handling, or specifically

    currentFile.name.replace(/^.*[\\/]/, '').replace(
            /U\+([0-9A-F]{4})/g, (whole, group1) => {
              // Parse encoded characters back to their unicode counterparts
              return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(group1, 16))
            }
 )

    so it might have something to do with that too, although I don't understand why it just works for me then...

    Yes, let's do that. It's a very strange error.

    Hi, thanks for taking this so seriously.

    I tried it on the JATOS test server (Cortex). It didn't work there either.

    @saamah, can you tell me your e-mail address and name in a private message so I can create an account for it?

    Thanks @Daniel for finding the solution! For anyone else reading, it turns out that my problem was to do with the Adblocker. Needs to be deactivated when running experiments complied with OSWeb 1.3.1. Thanks Open Sesame team!

    @sebastiaan detecting adblockers can be quite daunting, but shouldn't we warn people that experiments might not work correctly if adblockers are enabled? The flipside of the coin is that people may become wary that osweb may feed them ads if we issue such warnings, so I'm not sure what the right approach is here...

    @Daniel Yes, good point. I'll add this to the documentation.
