Error message for batch file "missing close tag"

victoriaestrada — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 12:12:21 GMT

I am trying to run a study where participants view 5 separate inquisit files (4 surveys and 1 IAT). I have used the <batch> element before to combine iqx scripts so they run as one, but I am getting the following error when I try to run the webscript I created:

Inquisit encountered errors while attempting to run this study.

Type		Script Context	Error Message
	Error	/myaccount/scripts/narina/GIS/GIS.iqx.html	missing close tag.

The GIS.iqx file looks like this:
<batch>
/ file = "Demo&Trial.iqx"
/ file = "RaceIAT.iqx"
/ file = "MRS.iqx"
/ file = "RWA.iqx"
/ file = "SDO.iqx"
</batch>
I have been unable to find anything wrong with any of the .iqx files (i.e., all close tags are present). I can run the GIS.iqx script in my lab version of Inquisit 4, and it runs fine with test monkey. Any help figuring out this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Get rid of the "&" in the name of the 1st script. Since "&" has special meaning when it comes to URLs, this likely breaks the URL and <batch> when Inquisit tries to fetch those files from the server. Rename it to something like "DemoAndTrial.iqx", upload the renamed file to the server and change / upload the <batch> file accordingly:

<batch>
/ file = "DemoAndTrial.iqx"
/ file = "RaceIAT.iqx"
/ file = "MRS.iqx"
/ file = "RWA.iqx"
/ file = "SDO.iqx"
</batch>

Hope this helps.
