Google Apps Script Does Not Fully Execute For Other Users After V8 Was Introduced

I wrote a script (with a lot of assistance from the good folks here) that copies a folder (and contents) on Google Drive using Google Sheets Scripts. It worked fine for a long time

Solution 1:

Since you are not getting any logs for the users the script doesn't work for, the issue is most likely related to your functions not being executed properly and/or at all.

A issue for this is that the script is not being attached to the spreadsheet. You can try and declare the ss variable to the start function. Another issue for the behavior mentioned can be caused by passing wrong variables to the functions. You can check that by using console.log() and checking if the variables are the expected ones or not.

Moreover, since you share this script with multiple users, you might want to take a look into Edditor add-ons. This can make sharing easier as the users will only need to install the add-on.

Solution 2:

Through some trial and error - I've found that all someone had to do to run this script successfully was to open the SourceFolder once. It may be because it searches for it based on the file name.
