Upload/import an .otreezip file into oTree studio?

[Peter Cock]

Dear Chris,

I've starting exploring oTree studio (thanks for the video in the documentation, that does help novices), and got as far as being able to download a working example as a .otreezip file (aka tar-ball), and ran it locally.

It is possible to import an (originally oTree studio created) .otreezip file back into oTree Studio? I can think of multiple use cases including:

* Experiment was shared from collaborator, or from a publication

* Running external tools like spell checkers

* Tracking an experiment under version control

Thank you,

Peter

Hi, that is not supported, sorry. You can upload projects into oTree Hub for Heroku server deployment, but not into oTree Studio.

OK, thanks for confirming that.

I think I will still try using oTree Studio with git, but it will be
limited to periodically saving my work and just recording the changes
under version control (having unzipped the tar-ball). That will still
be useful.

I will probably still run tools like flake8 or a spell checker outside
of oTree Studio, but will have to manually apply any changes within
the oTree Studio interface.

Thanks,

Peter
