Google Apps Script Annoyances

Posted: 5/14/2020

The annoyances are:
  1. Extremely primitive IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
  2. Extremely primitive autocomplete assistance
  3. You need to install an Chrome Browser add-on to increase the puny default font size of the editor! This bloody add-on then shows up in every browser instance!! Grrrr!
  4. The automatic indentation support is extremely primitive!

Excuse me! What! My script was not running longer than 5 minutes, probably much less! It appears if a loop has more than about 1000 iterations this error kicks in. The error message does not even bother to indicate whether the maximum execution time is configurable or not! This is lousy!
More annoyances will be added as I encounter them!
