How do I see more details on the error messages I get when running scripts inside a spreadsheet (or anywhee for that matter). For example; when getting a 'red failed script' message it only highlights it in red and gives a link to Dismiss. I want to get more information on the error for debugging and troublshooting.
Is there some facility to view this information?
If not what is the typical troubleshooting method used to drill down into the error and figure out exactly what is causing it to better find a solution?
Thanks in advance for the help
You want to open the Script Editor in the spreadsheet so you can look at the script itself. Select the function you are trying to run in the spreadsheet from the dropdown thingy at the top and hit the play button. It should give you a reason and a line number where it fails. Place a breakpoint there and hit the debug button and step through it.

The Chrome console window is full of warning messages that I like to hide.
Is it possible to hide the warning logs?
I only want to show my custom logs e.g. console.log('mymessage');
This is how the console windowbar looks like:
Just recently there was a Chrome update. Now filtering single message types is possible (Verbose, Info, Warnings, Errors)! (My Version: Version 60.0.3112.90)
When opening the console, instead of selecting a "filter level", you can now check or uncheck each message type.
As of Chrome version 78 (Dec 2019), in the "Console" tab, click on the "Default levels" pulldown, and uncheck the types of messages you don't want displayed.
At the top bar of the console log you can select what kind of messages should be shown.
All is selected by default. Select error to see only error.
You can press ctrl + click to select multiple message types.
First off: you can hide all warnings and show only console.log output if you are using Microsoft Edge. In the console, there are a couple of icons representing the different levels of log output you may be using - error, warning, and info. If you just want to hide warnings, you can simply toggle the warning icon to off.
Also, if you are on firefox, you can set the log to only display info, in which case the warnings will also be hidden.
Next, to elaborate on the other answer, and phrase what I said (above in my comment) in the form of an answer:
For chrome, you cannot toggle specific levels off individually (newer versions of Chrome). Instead, you have to set an overall verbosity level for the log. By using the strictest level (i.e. the level that displays the least), you can minimize console messages that are created by portions of code that you did not write. In this case, that is the error level.
If you are just trying to hide warning messages for testing purposes, you can, for the time being, switch over to only logging messages at the error level. In production, this is not good practice, as it doesn't let you differentiate between helpful info log messages or actual errors.
To log a message as an error, use:
console.error('mymessage');
Then, as mentioned above, you can change the Level of your console output to error, which will only show you error messages. It will ignore console.log as well as any warning messages.
Be sure to change your calls to console.error back to console.log when you are done with the development phase of your work, for any instances where you are calling console.error with some message that does not describe an error.
Now, if you are getting warnings due to something you are doing in your code, you may want to consider spending time trying to correct whatever is causing those warnings to appear. Warnings are generally well thought out, and are there to help you prevent issues in your code that you may not be aware of. Correcting any issues in your code would also cause the warning messages to go away.
NOTE: you cannot tell the console to only display messages you print out, even at the level of verbosity you set your console to. This is because the console would have no way of knowing which statements you are logging out, versus which statements code your webpage is running that was written by someone else is logging out. The steps mentioned in this answer as well as the other are workarounds that may improve your situation.
UPDATE: It seems like Chrome has reintroduced the ability to enable/disable different levels of console logging individually. Now, when clicking on log level, you can toggle whether certain log levels are enabled or disabled.
Under the console tab it is now possible to highlight the message type as a general filter. There is also a filter box right next to the eyeball. So if you put a unique flag in your console.log then it will show only your messages with this flag.
But in general. I think you want to click the 'Info' item as highlighted below to just obtain the console.log messages
There is a drop down next to filter, where can you select only things you require.
Note : ReactJS warnings are actually displayed in red as errors. So to remove them you need to uncheck errors too.
I currently have a app that manages projects. The user sees a list of projects and can select one. They can should (it would be nice) be able to click a run button and have another app open. The parameters stored in the project they selected are populated into the second application. The issue I am having is firing the second application. runApp generates the following.
ui code line:
actionButton("RunProj", "Run"),
Warning in run(timeoutMs) :
Unhandled error in observer: Key / already in use
observeEvent(input$RunProj)
I would like to trigger the second app and pass in the location of the project directory I have looked at parseQueryString and still trying to figure out a way to include that. Maybe via a redirect?
Any suggests would be much appreciated.

Rich
I'm not 100% sure if I understand your intention correctly but here is a few things I think you may want to think about.
In one project, if you want to run a few kinds of analyses, you may want to try navbarPage
If there are many different types of analyses, you may want to try shinydashboard
If you know the link to each app and you really want to add those "run" buttons, you can add a button manually in ui.R. I think you can write some codes in server.r to generate the link based on your database.
tags$a(href="the link to your apps", class= "btn btn-default", "Run App")
When I try to run my Windows Store app, it won't, and shows me this:
..."does not support the contract specified"? What contract? I'm not implementing any contract; I assume it means the Settings contract or some such, but I'm not doing any of those yet.
I went to the Help page suggested, and it says, in part, "To diagnose these errors
There are no sure ways to fix these errors. Use these techniques to diagnose the problem."
The first suggestion is:
Open Event Viewer (on the Windows Start menu, search for Event Viewer.) In Event Viewer, navigate in the tree to the Application and Services Log\Microsoft\Windows\Apps folder.
Filter the view to event Ids: 5900-6000
Examine the log and see what occurred.
Windows 8.1 only brings up web pages when I search for "Event Viewer"
Actually, I did write a utility to catch event logs, and I ran that. I found these:
***Type: Error

But where is "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log"?
The second suggestion on the Help page was:
Use the native debugger
Configure the project to run under a native debugger.
In Visual Studio, set the Debugger Type to Native Only on the Debug (Debugging in C++ and JavaScript) page of the property pages of the start-up project.
Look at the exceptions being thrown by looking at the output window. You might want to configure the debugger to stop when these exceptions are thrown.
I did that, but it gave me no more information than previously - nothing at all displays in the Output pane.
What could be the cause of this?
UPDATE
Just to update the progress:
Based on Iris Classon's suggestions, I went to Control Panel to see if my app was installed so that I could uninstall it, but it's not in that list.
If I search for the app by typing its name, it tries to start up - its splash screen displays, but goes no further than that.
I went to Program Files\WindowsApps, and when selecting it got, "You don't currently have persimmons to access this folder, click continue to continually get access"
That leads me to "You have been denied permission to access this folder; to gain access to this folder, you will need to use the security tab"
Click the "security tab" link takes me to that tab, and a "For special permissions or advanced settings, click Advanced"
I do so.
That takes me to a Permissions tab, which says, "You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object; Click continue to attempt the operation with administrative permissions"
I then selected (one at a time, as that is all it allows):
Trusted Installer : Full control
System: Read, Write, and Execute
System: Full Control
Administrators: Read & Execute
But so far, none of that seems to do anything good.
UPDATE 2
This problem has just "gone away" today; I don't think it was anything I did. I added a UserControl, tried running the app again, and now it runs - I don't see that error message. However, I do see a seemingly unrelated one. (at least I got further).
I just had this problem on a fresh install of Windows 8.1 on my laptop. I'm not sure which one of these steps solved it, but until somebody can give you a more exact answer here is something to try as I am sure you are keen on coding.
Only Store Apps run from VS gives that error, other Store apps work fine.
I first of all changed permissions on my WindowsApps folder under Program Files and made sure that I had full access to the folder and sub folders. Restarted the laptop, still no luck.
Then I set up an admin guest account (just something I tend to do for when I need to record tutorials- so not related to trying to solve the error). Out of curiosity I tried to create and run the same Windows Store App and got an error that another user had installed the app. Strange, how was it installed if it gave me the error that it couldn't activate the app on the main account?
I logged back in as the main user and uninstalled the application (which was showing up as installed), and I can now run any Store App from VS without problems.
Not sure this is an answer since I'm not sure what made it work, but give it a try and hopefully somebody else can clear this us up. I'll investigate further, but I'm on a train right now with poor WiFi connection :)
Best of luck!
I had the same scenario, here are the steps I did to resolve:
I tried to create packages, chose not to associate with the store.
It said that the certificate is expired, I created a new test certificate.
I created the test packages successfully.
Tried to run the project from VS and it finally ran.
I believe all of this had to do with the certificate. very frustrating and time wasting issue.
I also had the same problem and following steps fixed it. Hope it will help some one else.
Open the appxmanifest file
Go to "Packaging" tab
Select "Choose Certificate" and select "Pick from certificate store" and select your cetificate and click on ok
I seem to be having a problem that looks an awful lot like it could be a bug in MS Access. I have a form which enumerates all the rows in a table and lets you edit them in a subform. Upon clicking save in the subform (standard save button converted to VBA), I want to update the list of records in the main form. I seem to have done just that with this code:
Parent!List0.Requery
Parent!List0.Refresh
Parent!List0.SetFocus
However, the list of records only seems to update with the changes upon clicking somewhere in the box, giving it focus.
Has anyone run across this, or does anyone have any suggestions as to how to solve this?
I cannot reproduce the issue, at least not in Access 2010. I had to comment out the Parent!List0.Refresh statement because that was causing a run-time error ("Object doesn't support this property or method"), but once I did that the List Box was correctly updated as soon as I clicked the button on the subform. There must be something else at play here. Could you possibly have error handling in place that is "swallowing" the run-time error I received?
Set a breakpoint at the beginning of the Button_Click() code and follow it through. Perhaps your code is not executing the way you think it is.
Get rid of the Refresh statement, it's not necessary. You'll probably get a run-time error right there because that property isn't supported.
I have a very complex user interface constructed using the GUI builder.
All was working as promised until I added 8 more severside functions to the code.
In the GUI Builder (when I try to attach these new functions to mouse up, The GUI Builder announces "An Unexpected Error occured" in a pink stripe across the top of the script editor.
When I clear the error, the project appears to be OK and I can save and run the application.
If I go to any previously object that triggers a server side handler and attempt to change it I get the same error.
It is my suspicion that the failure happens when the GUI builder tries to load the list of available functions from the code source. My code is running upwards of 50 Gscript functions.
If there are some limits on what the GUI Builder can handle it would be really nice to have those documented. Also a more meaningful error message would be nice.
I assume that I can still add/attach these handlers in the code base (outside of GUI Builder)?
This error message comes up when you try to getElementById using an Id that doesn't exist. Please check all the widget Ids in your GUI.I'm pretty sure your issue is not related to some systemic limitation, I've made some complex UIs with the GUI builder without issue.
you d better use a full scripted apps instead of GUI..I gave up with GUI since there is some strange stuff..as ID managment, name managment, radio button (bug as well in normal scripting..^^)..GUI is a black box for me..just try to make your app with vertical horizontal or xy panel...and you will be able to know who do wa and when... with the logger
