BUG: Automated upload results in 404 error [37394]

This article applies to:

E-Prime Go 1.0

Symptoms

After an Automated E-Prime Go run, a 404 error is generated on upload.

Detail

This occurs using Automated Mode when the Data File Name is greater than 72 characters.

For example, assume of Experiment name is 70 characters long and using the default [Experiment]-[Subject]-[Session] for the Data File Name. The paradigm will display correctly on the E-Prime Go website. However, when run by a participant, they will not be able to upload their data as they receive the following error:

NOTE: The "-[Subject]-[Session]" are included in the character count. If you enter Subject and Session number 1, that is 4 characters total (i.e., -1-1). This will bring the total above to 74 characters.

Workaround

The following workarounds are possible:

Workaround 1:

Do a File > Save As and save your experiment with a name of 53 characters or less. 53 characters is recommended due to the Subject being able to accept a value up to 2147483647 (10 characters) and a Session value up to 32767 (5 characters).

NOTE: If you include other Attributes or text in your Data File Name, be sure to account for them.

Workaround 2:

Modify the Data File Name in the Experiment Object Property Pages > Data File tab to be less than 72 characters. Make sure to account for any Attribute character lengths that may be possible.
