05/26 - Where's the Thread Monday!

Unless the interface in use is returning the hits, my guess is that it is indeed submitting as you would eventually fill your Q up otherwise.

 

Good to know it's not entirely down. I just hope they realize it's not working.

 

Not sure it's working with anything. I logged in on my phone which has no scripts hoping to just submit the survey I had completed and it looks the same with no scripts, the header and nothing beneath that. I tried in both Chrome and Firefox.

I sent an email thru the Service Health Dashboard, hopefully others will as well. Not expecting much given it's Memorial Day, but if there are enough reports and it's an easy fix, maybe it'll happen sometime today.

 

I was going through posts from the last time there were problems with MTurk. Some people were able to get in touch with an Amazon tech guy from his Linkedin page. He may be able to help again.

That wasn't as much work as the other one. It's mostly percentile guessing and that it's.

 

seem to have figured out the problem. they removed the copy text function from the worker id on the frame, but the loader is looking for it and crashing. I was able to get together a script that is somewhat clunky but it does fix the hits section and allows to submit as the hit timer loads normally since it is crashing looking for the copy text function.

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         MTurk Patch Missing CopyText Component
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/

(function () {
    'use strict';

    function waitForRequire() {
        if (typeof require !== 'function') {
            requestAnimationFrame(waitForRequire);
            return;
        }

        const originalRequire = require;

        require = function (deps, callback, errback) {
            // Support both single module and array
            if (typeof deps === 'string') deps = [deps];

            const patchedDeps = deps.map(dep => {
                if (dep === 'reactComponents/common/CopyText') {
                    console.warn('[Tampermonkey] Patching missing module:', dep);

                    // Register dummy module under expected name
                    define(dep, [], function () {
                        return function DummyCopyText() {
                            console.warn('DummyCopyText used');
                            return null;
                        };
                    });

                    return dep;
                }

                return dep;
            });

            return originalRequire(patchedDeps, callback, errback);
        };

        console.log('[Tampermonkey] CopyText patch loaded (require override)');
    }

    waitForRequire();
})();

last one does fix it on the dashboard page but in my case i have to reload sometimes to get things to show properly. at least is workable.

 

@Jane Doe @Tripsa just in case you guys know more, and can ad something, otherwise in case you guys are waiting on a fix.

 

@BedLobster22 so basically your ui what it does is that it skips that part when loading the hit so it loads as usual and it doesn't crash.

 

Mine's back up!

Edit: It was. Good sign.

 

Kind of shocking I'd written it off getting fixed today due to the US holiday.

 

They seem to be working on it. It's up and down for me, but I'm optimistic.

 

i guess ill never know if the script run or if the thing was fixed when I wrote it, but hey as long as I can actually get some work done today.

 

Mine actually just came back(still working as of this post)

-edit-going in and out depending on the page but majority working

 

coming back slowly, with some glitches here and there

 

Relax bro, recursion is going to get you all the chicks.

 

the Noah Turks are legit broken right? like... not part of the site screwing up?

 

What is going on?
