jsPsych - AudioContext warning in console #9

Open ashkim1 opened 2 weeks ago

ashkim1 commented 2 weeks ago

I copied and pasted the codes for index.html and experiment.js from the jsPsych Intro notes, but I am getting the following warning in my console:

"The AudioContext was not allowed to start. It must be resumed (or created) after a user gesture on the page. https://goo.gl/7K7WLu"

What does this mean?

Hi @ashkim1 -

I didn't notice this warning at first because I had my console set to only output errors. Now that I've set it to include warnings, I see it too.

Looking into it, the warning occurs because browsers require user interaction (such as a click or a key press) before allowing audio to play. This is a common security and usability measure to prevent unwanted audio from playing automatically.

However, we're not using any audio-related jsPsych related plugins, so I don't see why we should be seeing this. The warning points to an underlying file in the jsPsych library. I created a post on the jsPsych issues page to see if they can provide any insight: https://github.com/jspsych/jsPsych/issues/3407.

In the meantime, the warning should not be causing any problems with our work, so you can ignore it.
