Add-in Disappearing from Ribbon Office (Excel) 365, No longer avaialable in Microsoft Store. #511

Open CLAV88 opened 7 years ago

CLAV88 commented 7 years ago

Expected Behavior

Add-in should load once, and remain there the next time I load excel, I've seen this in .XLAM type Addins before, typically the solution is to save a workbook and then the addin seems to run each time excel is opened. However, this is not the solution here.

Current Behavior

Add-in dissappears and is not in the Addin Manager, nor is it discoverable in the Microsoft Store, this may be a secondary issue, but ScriptLab is no longer there.

Possible Solution

Make sure after the Add-in is loaded it remains there. Ensure that the ScriptLab addin is still in the Microsoft Store.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Add the ScriptLab addin from.... https://store.office.com/addinstemplateinstallpage.aspx?rs=en-US&assetid=WA104380862

Context

I would like to move onto developing real-world addins using the JavaScript API's you are developing, I believe in this effort, I think it will succeed, but I need to have uninterupted access to the playground IDE in order to accomplish anything. I've already submitted an issue for crashing of the whole program, not sure thats been resolved either, but I can't do anything until all three things are resolved.

Your Environment

Useful logs

Description should be sufficient here.

@saunders77 , @dsaunders45459 , could you please investigate for any platform issues, and get in touch with the customer.

@CLAV88 , thanks for your report. Yes, we received both, and will be looking into them. One thing to clarify, are you using the Windows (desktop) version of Office, or are you using the Office Online version. The mention of "Google Chrome" and "Excel Office 365" is leaving it ambiguous...

Thanks!

Looks like ScriptLab is now available again in the Microsoft Store, so thank you on that fix. I'll check to see if its still crashing (with reference to the other issue I opened). I am using Office 365 on Windows 8.1 Desktop, not the online web version.

Just as a heads up if you aren't already aware, it looks like there's already an alternative excel addin JavaScript IDE called Developer Sandbox in the Microsoft Store as well, it's a paid model, so I won't be using it.
