Reply To: Problems with test.text and selector.add in self-paced reading experiment

Hi Jeremy,
thank you very much for your help. It’s those little details that slip through when I’m checking my own code. I have added the missing .wait() command and a canvas for the selection task. The template looks like this now:

Template( "subco_english_acc2.csv" , 
    row => newTrial( "experiment",
        newController("DashedSentence", {hideUnderscores: true, display: "dashed",  s : row.Sentence})
            .print()
            .log()
            .wait()
            .remove()
        ,
        newText("Question", row.Question)
        .center()
        .print()
        ,
        getText("Question")
        .test.text( /\?$/ ) //Previously, this field contained " " and the instructions for failure and success were reversed
           .failure( newTimer(500).start().wait()) 
           .success(
                newText("AnswerL", row.AnswerL).print()
                .after(newText("AnswerR", row.AnswerR).print())
                ,
                newText("F", "<b>F</b>")
                ,
                newText ("J", "<b>J</b>")
                ,
                newCanvas("Canvas", 600, 200)
                .add(0, 0, getText("AnswerL"))
                .add(400, 0, getText("AnswerR"))
                .add(0, 50, getText("F"))
                .add(400, 50, getText("J"))
                .print()
                ,
                newSelector("Answer")
                .add( getText("AnswerL")   , getText("AnswerR") )
                .keys(     "F"           ,        "J"           )
                .print()
                .log()
                .wait()
                )
    )
)

It doesn’t look great, but it works – just in case anyone is faced with a similar problem.
Best regards
Matthias
