getValue() function broken?

[Thomas Schilling]

Hi LIONESS team,

is there a bug with the getValue() function? 

I suddenly get error messages using this function. It worked well not long ago (in the same experiment, I haven't made changes to the experiment's code).

This is the error message I get in the console

VM165:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<br />
<b>"... is not valid JSON
    at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
    at getValue (jsLibrary.js?v8.4:418:17)
    at stage422989.php?session_index=9c0409da45ebe9c6e6b361b193216796:172:17
getValue @ jsLibrary.js?v8.4:418
(anonymous) @ stage422989.php?session_index=9c0409da45ebe9c6e6b361b193216796:172

When I click on the "at stage422989.php?session_index=9c0409da45ebe9c6e6b361b193216796:172:17

getValue @ jsLibrary.js?v8.4:418" line, it jumps to my code, which is: 

var condition = getValue('condition');

So, nothing special, right? Should work as it did before? 

Thanks for checking this out! 

Best, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

There haven't been any updates I know of. What happens if you open your browser's console and type getValue("condition")?

Cheers, Lucas

is the variable "condition" visible in the control panel? in other words, does it exist?

Hey Lucas! Thanks for this fast response.

I get the same error, though.

Best, Thomas

Yes it is. 

But it is undefined.

Although, I declared it with record('condition', condition) in a previous stage.

This seems to be a problem in all of my experiments. Even in those where I already finished my data collection. 

And in those other experiments, I have no problems with an "undefined" value in the variables (so this might be just another issue in the new experiment).

Is it possible that someone else is editing my experiment? The entire stage study_s (stage 3) is suddenly destroyed

Thank you LIONESS team! 

The bug seems to have been related to the fact that I used "condition" as a variable name in experiment ID 38903.

But in other experiments (e.g., ID 32363), I did not use this variable name and yet receive the same error message. That is a bit odd. This experiment used fine before (I completed the data collection already).

Cheers, Thomas
