  • I had problems following the directions of a Google Apps Script API quickstart. I think that the quickstart instructions and code is incomplete. After a while, I finally realized that there was misleading stuff. I'm keeping the details to be posted later, i.e., in a self-answered question, if something like this might be interesting for this community.
  • Stuff used
  • - Mac Mini (ISP, etc.)
  • - Google Cloud console and project
  • - Google Apps Script: project, code editor, deployment, API.
  • - Visual Studio Code
  • - HTML
  • - JavaScript
  • - Google Chrome
  • I also used Node.js and the related stuff to run a web server, but it might be omitted in the question as it's finally irrelevant as the problem can be reproduced with static / local HTML and JavaScript files.
  • I wonder if what I have learned might be posted here, probably as a self-answered question.
  • I'm asking because I haven't seen in Codidact questions about Google Apps Script, Google Workspace and Google Cloud. I have seen questions about Google Sheets, but most are about simple spreadsheet formulas.
  • I have searched and not found any questions about my problem, but I do not discard that someone might point me to something I missed in the documentation on a Q&A site or other online resource.

Self answered questions about an unclear quickstart
I had problems making a Google Apps Script API quickstart. I think that the quickstart instructions and code is incomplete. After a while, I finally realized that there was misleading stuff.

I wonder if what I have learned might be posted here, probably as a self-answered question.

I'm asking because I haven't seen in Codidact questions about Google Apps Script, Google Workspace and Google Cloud. I have seen questions about Google Sheets, but they are only about formulas so far.

I have searched and not found any questions about my problem, but I do not discard that someone might point me to something I missed in the documentation on a Q&A site or other online resource.
