PEBL dexterity.pbl error

    Greetings,

    During the "Mouse Dexterity Task (dexterity.pbl)" an error message pops up and terminates the testing procedure prematurely. The error message I encounter is:

    "Error near line 107 of file .\dexterity.pbl: Argument error in function [Show(<widget>)]</widget>: Wanted Widget but got PEBL String Type : Thank you for participating in this test".

    This only happens during the "Mouse Dexterity Task". During other test/tasks I have no problem whatsoever.

    I am using the default settings for parameters. If you can help me to work around this I would be happy!

    Thank you for your time and have a nice day

    Alphan,

    I haven't used this test in several years, so it is probably some minor error that crept in when updating translations or something. I'll look into it and should be able to post a fix in a little bit.

    Alphan,
    Just edit the dexterity.pbl file in a text editor like notepad++. Go to line 107 and change

    Show(tb.text)

    to

    Show(tb)

    And that should fix it. Note that this was the last operation before the test was done, and it simply shows a debriefing message, so no data is lost because of this error.

    Thanks for reporting this. I've updated the sourceforge repository and it should be fixed in the next release.
