accessing the file pool with javascript

edited July 2021 in OSWeb

Hi,

Is there a way to access the file pool with javascript, similar to python e.g :

if (a=1) { 
	vars.distr_img=pool[u"cat.jpg"];
}

cheers,

david

  • Hi @dsoto ,

    Of sorts, yes, but it's not really intended to be used that way, and I also don't see many scenarios in which this is useful.

    From your question, it looks like you want to know the name of a file in the pool. You can do that as follows:

    vars.distr_img = runner._pool["cat.jpg"].name
    

    If you open the developer console of the browser, you can also interact with the file pool to see which properties exist etc.. Especially in Chrome this is really nicely implemented.

    You may also be interested in this post, about loading external stimuli into the file pool. It's not directly related to your question, but it also shows how to interact with the file pool programmatically.

  • Hi, thanks for the message Sebastian, I think I did not explain well

    I have 30 images of 2 categories in the file pool. Now, using OSWeb I would like to select randomly on every trial one image of each category and display them together.


    My question is whether OSweb allows for this type of functionality


    cheers

  • Hi David,

    Yes, that is possible. You can use the Javapscript_inline script, which has essentially the same syntax as the python inline_script has.

    See this part of the manual: https://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.3/manual/javascript/about/#the-pool-object-access-to-the-file-pool

    So, you then you need only to randomly select the filename on every trial and can put that one into the code to access the pool. For randomization, this might be useful.

  • Hi,

    I am running into a similar problem. I am designing an online experiment in which participants are presented with triplets of randomly selected images, however I am not able to select images from the pool. How can I access the pool in online experiments??

    My browser gives me the following error:

    This is the code I am using for now, I just want to present one image to see that everything is working

    Prepare tab:

    vars.path = runner._pool['LT1.png'].name
    persistent.img1 = Canvas()
    persistent.img1.image({fname: vars.path, x: 250, y: 0})
    

    Run tab:

    persistent.img1.show()
    

    I thought that this error could be due to the infamous CORS policy, so I try storing the stimulus file on GitHub repo and adding it to the pool. For that I basically insert the following lines of code at the beginning of the prepare tab:

    function addExternalImageToPool(url, name) {
      const img = new Image()
      img.crossOrigin = "anonymous"
      img.src = url
      const item = {
        data: img,
        type: "image",
        name: name
      }
      runner._pool.add(item)
    }
    
    addExternalImageToPool(
      "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Patxelos/stimuli/main/LT1.png",
      "LT1.png"
    )
    

    Then I access the pool as before:

    vars.path = runner._pool['LT1.png'].name
    persistent.img1 = Canvas()
    persistent.img1.image({fname: vars.path, x: 250, y: 0})
    

    But I get the same error...

    Please help me with this problem!

  • Hi Patxelos,

    I can only guess here, but the way you call the pool (via the runner) is not what the manual suggests. Instead you should use

    var myCanvas = Canvas()
    myCanvas.image({fname: 'LT1.png'})

    Good luck,

  • Hi Eduard,

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that my error is not related to the way I call the pool but the CORS policy, because the experiment works well offline. Actually, I am basically using the line of code suggested by @sebastiaan to get the stimuli names from the pool (see above). Have you ever managed to present online stimuli with opensesame? I would appreciate any help with this issue

    Best,

    Patxi

  • Hi @patxelos ,

    The error that you're seeing in the console is related to the OSWeb logo at the start of the experiment, which doesn't work when testing locally in a browser (indeed due to the CORS policy). But that's harmless, and there's nothing in the console output that indicates a problem with your experiment specifically.

    What exactly are you trying to do with the file pool? And in what sense doesn't it work as you'd like it to?

  • Hi @sebastiaan,

    Thank you for you reply. I have an offline experiment in which I present randomly selected pairs of images from two different classes and participants have to identify the 'most desirable' one. So, I just want to run this experiment online. Is that possible? I guess that for that I need to access the pool online but I don't know how to do it. I have both tried doing it like in offline experiments and also adding them to the pool from an online raw.githubserver but any of them work.

    Experiment description: I have a two lists of image names, one for each class, that are shuffled at the beginning of the experiment and then I select one image from each list using an indexing variable that it is updated on each trial (ie, tr += 1). Image names are used to obtain image paths from the pool and then these paths are used to prepare the stimuli with the canvas object.

    Many thanks for your attention and time :)

    Best,

    Patxi

  • Hi @patxelos ,

    Yes, that's absolutely possible. The file pool is simply available also in an online experiment. You don't need to do anything specific for that!
