Google Apps Script editor not launching - google-apps-script

From this morning I have no possibility to edit scripts. My existing script link to a spreadsheet continue to work but when I try to edit them or to edit a new one , I only get a shaded upper bar, and no possibility to use it.
Last times one of my scripts was getting some errors, is it possible that google "ban" me from using script due to too much memory using?
Thanks in advance,
david

I used Chrome Incognito mode as a temporary fix.
Hopefully, this works for you as well.

Switch you drive locale settings to English and it will work. This is a temporary workaround to use until they fix the bug. see issue 4339

Turned out I was still signed into another account despite the UI suggesting otherwise. Restarting the browser and checking who you are logged in as in Drive (and potentially signing the incorrect user out) fixed the problem for me.

Exactly. I was signed with different account without permits. Request access to the Sheet with full access without restrictions and it will work :)

How to reset my Drive for Desktop storage?

I have a problem where I'm unable to empty my trash in Google Drive. Somehow when I empty the trash, it'll appear empty and after refresh everything is there again. The storage use/allocation doesn't also change in size.
I have tried https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/emptyTrash a proposed solution here but no luck.
I am using Standard subscription of 200 GB
Since you have a Google One account, I would suggest you going to their support page Google One Help to see if they can help you with that.
UPDATE
I have found another link for Google One support where you can talk personally to a Google Expert:

Error Sorry, unable to open the file at this time. Please check the address and try again, when trying to create file from Google drive [duplicate]

I tried to do this:
But I always get this:
"Sorry, unable to open the file at this time. Please check the address and try again
Do I have to enable it somewhere secret somehow.
It seems to be a bug, I am having the same issue and it seems that other users also do.
There is already an issue about it on Public Issue Tracker - give it a "star" to increase visibility.
In the meantime use the workaround as suggested by TheMaster and create your scripts from script.google.com instead of drive.google.com.
On Google's Docs Editors Help Nathan Alvesinho suggested that multiple accounts may have something to do with it. I also have multiple accounts. I used the Sign out of all accounts button on my google profile. I signed back in to only one account, and it worked. Not ideal, but it helped me.

How to run a script in Google Sheets? [duplicate]

I am trying to run
this simple Google Script.
However, it does not allow me to authorise. How can I proceed?
Update 1:
As reported by
Rubén, Google says it won't fix this - #163
Some workarounds are provided in #76, #145 and #150 - showing solutions like changing GCP and providing a oauth consent screen.
Update:
Switching Google cloud project from default to a standard project have resolved the issue for some users. This is still a workaround and may not work for all. Therefore, star the issue below.
This seems to be a new issue affecting certain users. You can ★(on top left) star the issue here to let Google developers know that you're affected by this issue and to prioritize the issue.
It stopped complaining once I specified the script only needed access to the current sheet. Google explains how to do it here.
All you need to add to your code is this JsDoc annotation:
/**
* #OnlyCurrentDoc
*/
That's something that happens. To solve the issue just copy the contents of your Script, delete it, and create a brand new one with the same contents, or give it another name in case you are superstitious. If that doesn't work, create another Spreadsheet with the same contents and proceed. Sometimes it's just a temporary issue. Perhaps the problem persists due to the stored browsing data, so it would be convenient to clear it. (I challenge you to take this last move!)
After going through the process twice with a client, I can confirm that the most reliable way to fix the error currently is to go through the verification process. An important note is that after approving the scopes, some accounts need to approve every other sensitive scope that is added to the script and cloud project as well or the issue will resurface.
So the step-by-step guide is as follows:
Switch from default to standard Google Cloud Project
Fill in the OAuth Credentials screen and add all sensitive scopes
Click on "Submit for verification" and prepare a YouTube video showing both authorization process and usage of each of the sensitive
scope
Wait until the verification team sends you an email (usually 1-2 days, but no guarantee here) and reply with the link to the video, then wait for the verification process to complete
If you received a "Granted" response, continue to steps 6 & 7, if not - follow the instructions provided
Remove all previously granted permissions to the project
Reauthorize the script by running it again, everything should be working
Having the same issue no solution of listed in this thread were working for me. After faied authentification i always get the screen as the topic starter gets it, without the "advanced" option.
However i've managed to get at least a limited access and run my script on the following way:
I share the affected sheet to anybody with link, with editor access level.
Then, from incognito window (maybe it isn't necessary, but i did it so), I've logged in into my other Google account,
opened the link, which was shared,
was forced to authorize myself,
failed on authorization - but the screen with failed authorization contains the "advanced" option,
clicking on it i've got a limited access and was able to run the script.

Google Apps Script function is not getting executed after authorization

I'm working on one existing apps script(sheets) app, when user clicks on Save button for the first time it is asking for the authorization which is the expected functionality. But the problem is after authorization the save function is not getting invoked, I need to click it again. So some users are getting confused with this behavior since they are thinking that the data got saved after authorization.
My questions are
Is this the default behavior?
If it is default, how to overcome this case?
Is there any way to execute the function automatically after authorization?
I couldn't paste the code here due to some confidential issues, looking for any links or solutions.
Thanks in advance.
The behavior you report actually seems to be a bug.
It has already been reported on Google's Public Issue Tracker and seems to being worked on.
Unfortunately I cannot think of another workaround than informing your users about the current situation.
I can only recommend you "star" the issue to increase the visibility for its importance and get updates about its fixing status.
For years this worked correctly for me, scripts were executed after authorization. Only since today it does not work anymore with any of my scripts. Apparently this has been fixed at some point and now we have it again ...

Can't log in to Google Apps Scripts

I'm using multiple Google accounts. In one of them (not default) I created Google Spreadsheet file and I want to create Script connected to it. Nothing complicated. But the problem is that after clicking Tools > Script Editor I'm being redirected to default user or I see this screen:
The same problem I have when trying to use: script.google.com
What can I do to enable Script editor?
I know you asked this 9 months ago, but here is my solution;
Sign out of all google accounts except the owner of the spreadsheet
You can now access the scripts and macros pages (go there)
Create a bookmark of them (this saves which profile is logged in)
Now sign back into all your profiles
Voila!
You will be able to access the scripts or macros via the bookmarks without getting the error page.
This is a reported bug.
Go give it a ☆ if you want to let Google know that this affects you.
You can consider appending authuser=email to the URL to open the script with a specific Google account.
For example, script.google.com...?param=value&authuser=email#example.com
I was not able to reproduce the problem. Perhaps it's a glitch or there is something wrong that requires some troubleshooting techniques that are off-topic on this site.
As a workaround, for the account having problems, use another Google Chrome profile, Incognito mode, or another browser.
By the other hand, it's possible that there isn't any wrong and it's just something related to your specific scenario.
From Sign in to multiple accounts at once
Sometimes settings might carry over
If you're signed in to multiple accounts at the same time, sometimes we can't tell which
account you're using. For example, if you're signed in to two accounts
and you open a new browser window, we aren't sure which account you
want to use. In cases like these, Google might apply settings from
your default account, like its Web & App Activity and Ads
Personalization settings.
google's default account (the first one you sign on with) has to be the owner of the sheet
Based on #iansedano's answer, you can share the file with the default chrome user and open the same link in a new tab again to resolve the issue.
If someone needs a quick fix for this :
At the end of the url change the "authuser=1" by the index of the Google Account you want to log with. (0 is the first one, 1 is the second)

You can also open a new incognito window, paste your sheet url there (you'll need to authenticate). Then you can open Tools -> Script Editor
