I made a script using the advanced service API Google Drive. It's working fine when we stay into the app script GUI :
/** #OnlyCurrentDoc */
function GetListOfDrivesName() {
const ALL_AVALIBLE_DRIVE = Drive.Drives.list();
return ALL_AVALIBLE_DRIVE.items.map(driveData => driveData = driveData.name)
}
However, when it's called from cell into Google Sheet we got an error
Error message is like below : GoogleJsonResponseException: API call to drive.drives.list failed with error: Login Required.
I guess it's some authentification & authorisation to ask before using the sheet.
Unfortuantly I have no idea how to request that ! I read doc but it's sound like it will be asked promptly.
In addition, trigger have been added for this function but it neither worked
Any idea ? Thanks in advance !
Hi #Yuri Khristich you were right, using ui is a good work around , code turn up to work corectly
function onOpen() {
var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu('[FM Script for G Drive]')
.addItem('test','showAvaillableDrive')
.addToUi();
}
function showAvaillableDrive(){
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var resultat = ui.prompt(GetListOfDrivesName())
}
function GetListOfDrivesName() {
const ALL_AVALIBLE_DRIVE = Drive.Drives.list();
return ALL_AVALIBLE_DRIVE.items.map(driveData => driveData = driveData.name)
}
As suggested by the comments you can build a menu over the Sheet and run it to write down Drive files that I own.
I have this custom Sheet where you can run the "Drive" function over "Adv Menu"
I automatically get the information of the Sheet and get a list of my Drive files:
function onOpen () {
var ui= SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu('Adv Menu').addItem('Drive', 'getMyFilesFromDrive').addToUi();
}
function getMyFilesFromDrive() {
var myFiles = DriveApp.searchFiles('"me" in owners');
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Files");
sheet.clear();
var rows = [];
rows.push(["ID", "Name", "Url"]);
while(myFiles.hasNext()) {
var file = myFiles.next();
if(file != null) {
rows.push([file.getId(), file.getName(), file.getUrl()]);
}
}
sheet.getRange(1,1,rows.length,3).setValues(rows);
}
It would also write it directly to my Sheet. Feel free to review it and use it.
You can also Draw a button (Inserting a Google Drawing) over the Sheet and assign a script:

I have an Google sheet with some apps script code in it and I am trying to make it interactive by displaying a prompt and getting some user input. I have added a simple function to test that this works:
function displayPrompt() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var result = ui.prompt("Please enter a name for your report:");
Logger.log(result.getResponseText());
};
When I run it, I get the error:
"Exception: Cannot call SpreadsheetApp.getUi() from this context."
What am I doing wrong please?
Thanks Annette
If I run it using a trigger it works as soon as I open the file
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var result = ui.prompt("Please enter a name for your report:");
Logger.log(result.getResponseText());
}
I must admit I cannot program the solution I am seeking from scratch, usually I manipulate codes available for solving issues that I face regularly. The problem while running the code I was using
UiApp has been deprecated. Please use HtmlService instead.
I looked into Htmlservice documentation but did not get any idea how I could convert the entire UIapp code into functional html code. If someone has already solved file attachment problem due to deprecation (UIapp), then it would be a great help.
Or, if anyone can suggest me anything that I can use as an alternative please advise me.
// upload document into google spreadsheet
// and put link to it into current cell
function onOpen(e) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var menuEntries = [];
menuEntries.push({name: "File...", functionName: "doGet"});
ss.addMenu("Attach ...", menuEntries);
}
function doGet(e) {
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setTitle("upload attachment into Google Drive");
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().show(app);
var form = app.createFormPanel().setId('frm').setEncoding('multipart/form-data');
var formContent = app.createVerticalPanel();
form.add(formContent);
formContent.add(app.createFileUpload().setName('thefile'));
// these parameters need to be passed by form
// in doPost() these cannot be found out anymore
formContent.add(app.createHidden("activeCell", SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange().getA1Notation()));
formContent.add(app.createHidden("activeSheet", SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getName()));
formContent.add(app.createHidden("activeSpreadsheet", SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getId()));
formContent.add(app.createSubmitButton('Submit'));
app.add(form);
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().show(app);
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Index');
}
function doPost(e) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
app.createLabel('saving...');
var fileBlob = e.parameter.thefile;
var doc = DriveApp.getFolderById('enterfolderId').createFile(fileBlob);
var label = app.createLabel('file uploaded successfully');
// write value into current cell
var value = 'hyperlink("' + doc.getUrl() + '";"' + doc.getName() + '")'
var activeSpreadsheet = e.parameter.activeSpreadsheet;
var activeSheet = e.parameter.activeSheet;
var activeCell = e.parameter.activeCell;
var label = app.createLabel('file uploaded successfully');
app.add(label);
SpreadsheetApp.openById(activeSpreadsheet).getSheetByName(activeSheet).getRange(activeCell).setFormula(value);
app.close();
return app;
}
I had this issue seconds ago,I am using Mac computer. I opened my APi on google chrome and unfortunately saw this 'UiApp has been deprecated. Please use HtmlService instead.' Just a simple answer : SWITCH TO SAFARI after opening my script in safari problem solved :)
The method return is undefined before user clicks yes/no. According to Google app script, server process should be frozen when dialog shows up. But in my test, the value is returned before users clicks yes/no.
function getValues() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var okToInsert = true;
if (sheet.getName() !== "xxx") {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
var alert = ui.alert('Confirm',
'Your active sheet is not "xxx". Continue to insert?',
ui.ButtonSet.YES_NO);
if(alert == ui.Button.NO){
okToInsert = false;
}
}
return {
"okToInsert": okToInsert
};
}
This is my frontend js:
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(
function(selectedRange, scope) {
console.log(">>> selectedRange: " + selectedRange);
})
.withFailureHandler(
function(msg, scope) {
})
.withUserObject($scope)
.getValues();
This is how I enable the sidebar:
var ui = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('sidebar').evaluate()
.setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME)
.setTitle('this is title');
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showSidebar(ui);
I have a sample sidebar add-on called "Dialog return test" created here.

Your code runs perfectly for me:
I get the dialogue prompt and return is defined with no errors. It's likely the issue is with another part of your code, or possibly the script file itself. I would recommend trying it on a new script in a new sheets file and try and narrow the issue down from there.
Possible cause is the following:
Usually this is caused by a problem with the Authorization Lifecycle, specifically the opening stage.
The most common culprit is a global variable in the code that tries to access Google services without authorization, like:
var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
See the documentation:
Warning: When your onOpen(e) function runs, the entire script is loaded and any global statements are executed. These statements execute under the same authorization mode as onOpen(e) and will fail if the mode prohibits them. This preventsonOpen(e) from running. If your published add-on fails to add its menu items, look in the browser's JavaScript console to see if an error was thrown, then examine your script to see whether the onOpen(e) function or global variables call services that aren't allowed in AuthMode.NONE.
Here is my script:
function onOpen(e) {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createAddonMenu()
.addItem('Browse Templates', 'browseTemplates')
.addToUi();
}
function onInstall(e) {
onOpen(e);
}
function browseTemplates(){
collectBasicData();
// Display a modal dialog box with custom HtmlService content.
var htmlOutput = HtmlService
.createTemplateFromFile("Gallery").evaluate()
.setWidth(700)
.setHeight(510);
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModalDialog(htmlOutput, 'Spreadsheet123 - Template Vault');
}
function collectAllData(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID).getSheetByName(DATA_SHEET);
DATA = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
return DATA;
}
function collectBasicData(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID).getSheetByName(PIVOT_SHEET);
var tabSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID).getSheetByName(TAB_SHEET);
BASIC_DATA = {
"tab_about" : getValue(tabSheet,"B1"),
"tab_help": getValue(tabSheet,"B2"),
"pivot":sheet.getDataRange().getValues()
};
return false;
}
function getValue(sheet,addr){
return sheet.getRange(addr).getValue().toString().replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
}
function createACopy(id){
var docName = DocsList.getFileById(id).getName();
return DocsList.getFileById(id).makeCopy(docName).getUrl();
}
function insertInCurrent(id){
var destinationSpreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sourceSheets = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id).getSheets();
for(var i=0;i<sourceSheets.length;i++){
var sheetName = sourceSheets[i].getName();
var source = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id).getSheetByName(sheetName);
source.copyTo(destinationSpreadSheet).setName(sheetName);
}
}
Can you please help me a little or a lot.
Thanks in advance
OK, so my code was actually correct, but my mistake was that I should have saved any changes made to my code under the new version before publishing it to the store, which I did not and therefore all changes that I made were simply ignored.
function onOpen(e) {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createAddonMenu()
.addItem('Browse Templates', 'browseTemplates')
.addToUi();
}
function onInstall(e) {
onOpen(e);
}
Have a problem with my add-on that should, but not creating a menu items in Add-ons on Google Sheets and Docs on install from the store until the page is refreshed.
According to Google Support I should look in to the following:
"Usually this is caused by a problem with the Authorization Lifecycle, specifically the opening stage.
The most common culprit is a global variable in the code that tries to access Google services without authorization, like:
var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
See the documentation:

If your published add-on fails to add its menu items, look in the browser's JavaScript console to see if an error was thrown, then examine your script to see whether the onOpen(e) function or global variables call services that aren't allowed in AuthMode.NONE."
I have no idea what and how should I deal with this as my add-on was not created by me. I can do minor things, but this is something that I cannot handle on my own and really need your help please.
Hear is my script:
function onOpen(e) {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createAddonMenu()
.addItem('Browse Templates', 'browseTemplates')
.addToUi();
}
function onInstall(e) {
onOpen(e);
}
function browseTemplates(){
collectBasicData();
// Display a modal dialog box with custom HtmlService content.
var htmlOutput = HtmlService
.createTemplateFromFile("Gallery").evaluate()
.setWidth(700)
.setHeight(510);
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModalDialog(htmlOutput, 'Spreadsheet123 - Template Vault');
}
function collectAllData(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID).getSheetByName(DATA_SHEET);
DATA = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
return DATA;
}
function collectBasicData(){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID).getSheetByName(PIVOT_SHEET);
var tabSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SPREADSHEET_ID).getSheetByName(TAB_SHEET);
BASIC_DATA = {
"tab_about" : getValue(tabSheet,"B1"),
"tab_help": getValue(tabSheet,"B2"),
"pivot":sheet.getDataRange().getValues()
};
return false;
}
function getValue(sheet,addr){
return sheet.getRange(addr).getValue().toString().replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
}
function createACopy(id){
var docName = DocsList.getFileById(id).getName();
return DocsList.getFileById(id).makeCopy(docName).getUrl();
}
function insertInCurrent(id){
var destinationSpreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sourceSheets = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id).getSheets();
for(var i=0;i<sourceSheets.length;i++){
var sheetName = sourceSheets[i].getName();
var source = SpreadsheetApp.openById(id).getSheetByName(sheetName);
source.copyTo(destinationSpreadSheet).setName(sheetName);
}
}
I have looked in to the documentation on Google, but cannot understand how and where I should use it in my script.
Your help is highly appreciated and thanks in advance
