Can't try my experiment in the browser

Hello!

I'm new to OpenSesame, first of all thank you for this great program!

I'm trying to implement an experiment online, I had some inline scripts that I already converted to JavaScript, and it seems to work fine. However, when I try to run it in the browser (offline), I get an error message.

I copy here what I get (here you can't see the colors but I have in red u'standalone' and 'MemoryError'. Do you know what it could be? The dimension of my experiment is bigger than the one recommended (96MB, I have music and pictures in it). Could this be the problem?

MemoryError

Sorry if this is a stupid thing, but I'm quite new to programming language

Initially I thought to test participants in the lab, but due to the coronavirus restrictions I must do it online.

Thank you.

  • Hi Francesca,

    Memory could be the problem (particularly given that the error you report is a MemoryError). You can try to reduce the memory load to check whether this is indeed the problem. So, take out a good number of images and see whether it works. Another option would be to downscale the images

    Good luck,

    Eduard
