`RangeError: Max payload size exceeded` when running `empirica export` #442

Closed aliciamchen closed 9 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

What happened?

Sometimes when I run empirica export it gives me an error and is not able to create the CSVs (it makes the .zip file, but the file is empty)

Is it possibly related to the size of the tajriba.json file? I have a script that copies the tajriba.json file from the server to my computer every five minutes while I'm running an experiment, and I noticed this usually happens in the middle of an experiment run, where earlier tajriba.json files can empirica export but not later tajriba.json files.

I've attached two tajriba.json files. For this one, empirica export works: tajriba_export-works.json

And for this one, empirica export does not work: tajriba.json

Steps To Reproduce

This happens both when I run empirica export on my server and also on my local machine (see below for details)

Relevant log output

GitHub doesn't accept comments longer than 65553 characters, so I've put the console output in a Google Doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P-RTDfzyRQ2LjoqEm8M2Eb0s5O_paMJF5zTUuj2G20U/edit?usp=sharing

Anything else?

Typically what I do to run empirica export is copy tajriba.json from the server to .empirica/local on my computer, and then run empirica export on my computer.

empirica export does not work on the server (when I run the experiment using empirica serve after scp-ing the bundle file) unless I empirica create a boilerplate experiment on the server, and then move tajriba.json to that experiment directory and run empirica export from that directory. I tried doing this for the tajriba.json files that could not export, and it gave me the same errors.

This should be fixed in the latest release. You'll want to upgrade your project. And you might need to change your .empirica/release file in the dir where you ran the serve. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much, it works with 1.8.9!
