Chained tasks not properly registered to alyx #621

Closed samupicard closed 7 months ago

samupicard commented 9 months ago

There seems to be an issue with the way chained protocols are registered on Alyx. If a given session had several chained protocols (e.g. raw_task_data_00, raw_task_data_01, raw_task_data_02) run back-to-back in 'append' mode, this gets listed on Alyx as a session with a single task protocol (the one from raw_task_data_02) and with a single reward amount delivery (the one from raw_task_data_00).

Is the same exact protocol ran (in which case it makes sense to save the variables only once), or are these different protocols with different variable values ?

samupicard commented 9 months ago

These are usually different protocols (in this case, trainingChoiceWorld, biasedChoiceWorld, passiveChoiceWorld). Whether or not this is the case, the water amounts should be added up between protocols.

samupicard commented 9 months ago

An issue that is possibly related: the SESSION_NUMBER parameter in the the taskSettings.json is set to '1' for the first task protocol that was run, and then set to '0' for subsequent chained task protocols (and this is preventing extractions from taking place). Instead, they should all be set to the actual session number that the chained protocol falls under.

No response from @samupicard so I've gone ahead and merged the branch into iblrigv8dev for the next release.
