Hi, Chris, Hi all,

I am currently coding an experiment with app_sequence like:[instructions, trial, experiment, survey, payoff].

Since one page in trial and one page in experiment share almost the same codes, I would like to avoid replication. I referred to this post https://groups.google.com/g/otree/c/2Z3d_SStb5o, but it seems like oTree could not find the app I would like to import when using 'from experiment import *'.

I am considering combining the trial app and the experiment app. However, it is ideal to keep them separate.

Thank you in advance.

Carol

Here’s a minimal working example (programmed in oTree 5.10.4). It is also attached as a ZIP archive.

The two relevant app folders are called

zzz_import_experiment

and

zzz_import_trial


=============================================

Contents of zzz_import_experiment/__init__.py

=============================================


from otree.api import *


doc = """
The real thing.
"""


class C(BaseConstants):

    NAME_IN_URL = 'zzz_import_experiment'
    PLAYERS_PER_GROUP = None
    NUM_ROUNDS = 3


class Subsession(BaseSubsession):

    pass


class Group(BaseGroup):

    pass


class Player(BasePlayer):

    some_input = models.StringField()


# PAGES


class MyPage(Page):

    form_model = 'player'
    form_fields = ['some_input']

    pass


page_sequence = [
    MyPage,
]


========================================

Contents of zzz_import_trial/__init__.py

========================================


from otree.api import *
from zzz_import_experiment import *


doc = """
Trial rounds.
"""


class C(C):

    NAME_IN_URL = 'zzz_import_trial'
    NUM_ROUNDS = 1


class Subsession(BaseSubsession):

    pass


class Group(BaseGroup):

    pass


class Player(BasePlayer):

    some_input = models.StringField()

Thank you for your reply! It now works well.
