[open] Can't open experiment made on OS X on Windows 7

Hi,

First of all, very nice piece of software. I've been running it on OS X for a while, but when i try to open the experiment file on a PC, I can't.

Here's the error I get:

Error: Failed to open ...experiment/experiment.opensesame.tar.gz.opensesame.tar.opensesame.tar.gz'
Description: No module named form_text_render

(I know, the filenames are getting a bit funky. It doesn't help if I try to open just the .opensesame script files.)

I have installed the form_text_render plugin to the appropriate folder manually. It appears in the installed plugins list.
Previously, I got that error while attempting to run the experiment (I was able to open the file).

I also tried it on the portable opensesame, but didn't work either.

Cheers

    The problem, as you probably suspected, is that the form_text_render plug-in is missing or not properly installed. You can download this plug-in from the GitHub source code, and simply copy the form_text_render folder to your OpenSesame plugins folder.

    If you still encounter this problem, you can start OpenSesame in debug mode by opening a command prompt in the OpenSesame folder and executing

    opensesame.exe --debug

    This will prevent OpenSesame from catching the error, and you should see an informative error message in opensesame.exe.log.

    Cheers!

    Hi there,

    I'm having the exact same problem.
    I created an experiment that runs perfectly on a MacBook Pro (OS X). However, when i try to open the experiment file on my testing machine - a PC - it gives an error message that reads: "Filed to open file, exception message: No module named form_text_render exception type: ImportError"

    I understand that I need to installed the form_text_render plugin ... but can't find that plugin anywhere online (it doesn't seem to be on that page that you sent through: https://github.com/smathot/OpenSesame/releases ).

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi,

    The form_text_render plug-in is part of the source code, and not bundled separately. So you would just download the latest OpenSesame source code through the link I posted above, extract it, and copy the plugins/form_text_render folder to your existing OpenSesame installation.

    Cheers,
    Sebastiaan

    Fantastic - thanks @sebastiaan that experiment now runs perfectly on the Windows 7 machine :)

    However, I have just tried to transfer over another experiment that works perfectly on a MacBook Pro (OS X; OpenSesame 0.27.4)… but when I open it on a PC the following error message appears:

    Unexpected error: exception message.
    Exception type: WindowsError

    See attached screenshot for the error message pop-up window.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Many thanks

    It seems like you're seeing the same problem as reported by @martijnvk here:

    Let's the move the discussion there and try to figure out what's going on.
