upload command error: null

[jamespetersen]

Trying to push local changes up to the stand-alone drive file, but encountering this error:

Pushing back up to Google Drive... An error occured while running upload command: null Upload failed.

This happens on both my mac and PC. I have deleted the auth .json file and re-authorized. It will init the project without any issue, but can't seem to push back up to drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@jamespetersen How to the other projects (stand-alone drive file)?

A couple things to troubleshoot. The following are scenarios where the Drive API throws a 500 error:

• Empty files; even though you can save an empty file in the Apps Script script editor.
• Simple syntax errors. Simple things (missing brackets, semicolons, etc.) you can catch with a linter.
• Apps Script object syntax errors. Then you are left with possible errors in method calls to Apps Script objects, which currently would require a bit more analysis on your part.

I'm confident that I'm not encountering those errors. This error occurs when I initialize the project successfully (create a local copy of the project), then immediately try to push. There are no empty files, no syntax errors that I've added (since I'm not actually modifying the files in any way after init), and there are no syntax errors apparent, as I can save the project in Drive.

Where else should I begin looking?

@jamespetersen , could you share an example? a project?

[jamespetersen]

I've created a new project to demonstrate. It's called dummyProject, and contains the following code inside code.gs:

function myFunction() {
  // This project is solely for James to troubleshoot issues with node-gapps
  return Session.getEffectiveUser().getEmail();
}

I've run the function, and authorized the script. gapps init works fine, but gapps upload gives me the same error. Again, I haven't made any local changes to the file. Within the same terminal instance, I'm trying to execute the command. I've tried it both with and without the project key:

gapps upload gapps upload Meo52ftjAOMvr_wMuEiyKJswyeDNcnCYg

I continue to encounter the following error Pushing back up to Google Drive... An error occured while running upload command: null Upload failed.

We really should be logging the details of errors in a log file, the way npm does.

[jamespetersen]

Is there a way to get more detailed error info, such as through npm?

[oshliaer]

Meo52ftjAOMvr_wMuEiyKJswyeDNcnCYg is project ID. You have to use file ID for node-google-apps-script https://github.com/danthareja/node-google-apps-script#31-an-existing-apps-script-project

That fixed it! Thanks @oshliaer
