  Also, I forgot to mention that I have tested PyGaze independently on the exact same system, and it works just fine.

  Hmm. After changing the runner to the "internal runner", It runs my experiment, but with different problems:

  1) It seems to be skipping the calibration/validation screens.
  2) It crashes on the first trial with this error:

  Stopped
  
  The experiment did not finish normally for the following reason:

  I am new to OpenSesame, but this seems to be a problem with the pygaze plugin... Could it be that the pygaze plugins are incompatible with 3.0.0?

  Thanks,

  Hi Cyrus,

  PyGaze had to be updated to work with OpenSesame 3.0 (which should be documented better, come to think of it). You can get the latest snapshot from here:

  • https://github.com/smathot/PyGaze/releases

  If you're using Expyriment, you also need to update it to 0.8.0. Otherwise you get funny-looking circles.

  It's a bit of a hassle, I know. I'll see if I can update all the packages in the repository soon, so that it doesn't have to be done manually.

  Cheers,
  Sebastiaan

  Thanks, Sebastian! I really appreciate the quick reply. I will test that out and let you know how it goes.

  Yours,

  Question: Should I checkout the os3 branch of your PyGaze fork to test this with 3.0.0?

  I got the os3 branch of PyGaze, and now the calibration phase starts. After calibration, my experiment doesn't work.

  I am getting this error:

  Not sure what the above error was, but I finally got something working.

  The only way I could get it to work was to remove the pygaze_drift-correction plugin from my sequence.

  Is that working for you?

  Thanks so much,

  Cyrus

  Hi Cyrus,

  I updated the Cogsci PPA, so at least you should have all the up-to-date versions without needing to do any manual hacking. Let me know if you still encounter issues.

  Hi All,

  I am getting somewhere, but I wanted to report a problem. Whenever I run a eye-tracking experiment in OS 3.0.1, the second time I try to run it, I get this error:

  Unexpected error

  I have to kill OpenSesame and run it again for eye tracking to work. Is there a way around this?

  Thanks,
