UnicodeDecodeError: utf8
Hi Sebastiaan,
I constructed an experiment in OpenSesame and it's running. However, my colleague is not able to run it on her computer, even though she has got the same version of OpenSesame. The following error message occurs when she trys to open the experiment:
Can you help?
Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
The error message indicates that the experiment is not utf-8 encoded. OpenSesame experiments are always utf-8 encoded, so it's possible that the script has been opened by some program (perhaps unintentionally), and then saved in a non-utf-8-encoded text file.
If the file opens for you, I would send it to your colleague again, verify that it hasn't been changed, and then open it. If the problem occurs again, feel free to upload the experiment here so I can take a look what went wrong.
Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Hi Bruno,
I think I know what the problem is. Could you check the discussion below, and see if this is indeed the same problem that you're having, and, if so, whether it's resolved in the latest 3.1.5 prerelease?
Cheers,
Sebastiaan
