Web App troubleshooting questionnaire

WebAppSelfHelp.md

Preliminary

1. Does the Web App have a saved deployment? ("Publish" -> "Deploy as Web App")
2. Are you accessing the /dev endpoint (https://script.google.com/.../yourIdHere/dev)?
3. If you are accessing the /exec endpoint (https://script.google.com/.../yourIdHere/exec), did you redeploy?
4. If you redeployed, did you increment the script version?
5. If you have a client-side problem, what does the console say (pres F12 to open developer tools)?
6. If you have a server-side problem, what do executions say (https://script.google.com/home/projects/yourIdHere/executions

Web App Access

1. If you use google.script.run to call server-side code: did you add withSuccessHandler and withFailureHandler?
2. If requests are "unauthorized", but you want a public API: did you deploy as "anyone, even anonymous" and "execute as me"?
3. If requests are "unauthorized" and you want a users to login: did you include Authorization header in the request?
4. If requests are authorized, but fail: did you create a doGet trigger function for GET requests or doPost for POST?

Return values

1. If requests succeed, but return nothing: does your trigger function return either HtmlOutput or TextOutput?
2. If google.script.run success handler returns nothing: did you return from the server-side function?

Debugging

1. "Cannot read property 'parameter' from undefined": do you try to run doGet or doPost from Apps Script Editor? Event objects are only constructed at runtime when a request hits the Web App
