I ended up figuring something out; here’s the code I used in case it’s of use to anyone else.
PennController.ResetPrefix(null) Sequence( 'example', SendResults() ) Template('example.csv', item => { var sentence = item.sentence.split(' ') var s_array = [] for (var word of sentence) { word = word.replace(' ', ' ') s_array.push(word) } sentence = s_array return [ 'example', 'DashedSentence', {s: sentence, display: 'in place'} ] })The basic idea is to modify the item prior to running each trial. I split the sentence on spaces (which won’t split the literal
). Replace the s with actual spaces, and then pass that array to the controller instead of the sentence stored in the csv.Oh, forgot to add: I’m using whatever version of PennController is currently on the PCIbex Farm (which I think is 1.9).
Okay, so after some testing I’ve been able to pare this issue down to what I think is the bare minimum. Using end() in a trial with a MouseTracker before the MouseTracker is initialized causes the script to freeze with the error above in the JavaScript console. Here’s a much more minimal example that shows the problem (link same as before, https://farm.pcibex.net/r/BtxkDp/):
PennController.ResetPrefix(null) // Shorten command names (keep this line here) Sequence('trial') newTrial('trial', newText('').log(), // this is just so there's a result to send, otherwise it spins forever end(), newMouseTracker('mouse') // comment out this line, or put it before end(), and it works )I’ve realized how to deal with my case; it’s actually pretty easy since JavaScript lets you use addition to concatenate variables of different types.
newVar('grandaveragepercent') .set(getVar('grandaverage')) .set(v => Math.round(v * 100) + '%.')Then just display the text as before, minus the
.after(newText('%.')).(I’d still be curious how this would work if I had two text variables I wanted to concatenate, since IIRC the way variables work in PCIbex wouldn’t just let you do
getVar('mytextvariable1') + getVar('mytextvariable2').)Nevermind; I figured out how to do this. I’ll post it in case anyone else comes across a similar issue.
Template("practice.csv", variable => { var word = variable['word_' + Math.floor(Math.random() * 12)]; return newTrial("trial_prac", // ... whatever else you want here newText("word", word) // ... whatever else you want here ).log("word", word) })Thanks! It does appear to be working. I just wasn’t sure if it would since the groups are set a bit differently than in base Ibex.
This is probably similar enough to fit in this thread, but is there a way to do this for a checkbox (i.e., only enable the button when the checkbox is selected). This one is more crucial since it’s for an HTML consent form, and I want to make absolutely sure people can’t get past the form unless the box saying they consent is checked.
