I'm a new developer, I want to add an assignment in Google Classroom using a script. Here is the code that was created:
function assignmentWithDriveFile(){
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName('ASSIGNMENT (Drive File)');
const courseId = sheet.getRange('B1').getValue();
const topicId = sheet.getRange('B2').getValue.toString();
var assignment = {
topicId: topicId,
title: sheet.getRange('B3').getValue().toString(),
description: sheet.getRange('B4').getValue().toString(),
materials :[{
driveFile: {
driveFile: {
id: sheet.getRange('B5').getValue.toString(),
title: sheet.getRange('B6').getValue.toString()
},
shareMode: "STUDENT_COPY"
}
}],
maxPoints : sheet.getRange('B7').getValue().toString(),
state: "PUBLISHED",
workType: "ASSIGNMENT"
};
const newCourseAssignment = Classroom.Courses.CourseWork.create(assignment, courseId);
const assId = newCourseAssignment.id;
sheet.getRange('D1').setValue(assId);
}
after running I get a notification in my spreadsheet that is "GoogleJsonResponseException: API call to classroom.courses.courseWork.create failed with error: @AttachmentNotVisible The item referenced by an attachment was not found or not visible to the user." well what should i do? I really wait for your answer and I appreciate it```
Do I have to change the drive ID?
About the error of The item referenced by an attachment was not found or not visible to the user.
, in this case, when the file ID is the invalid file ID, such an error occurs. When I saw your showing script, I thought that at id: sheet.getRange('B5').getValue.toString(),
, getValue
should be getValue()
. This can be also seen at title: sheet.getRange('B6').getValue.toString()
. If your file ID is correct, I thought that the reason for your issue might be due to this.
In your situation, I think that the values can be retrieved from cells B1:B7
by one call.
When these points are reflected in your script, how about the following modification?
function assignmentWithDriveFile() {
const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
const sheet = ss.getSheetByName('ASSIGNMENT (Drive File)');
const [[courseId], [topicId], [title], [description], [driveFileId], [driveFileTitle], [maxPoints]] = sheet.getRange("B1:B7").getDisplayValues();
var assignment = {
topicId,
title,
description,
materials: [{
driveFile: {
driveFile: {
id: driveFileId, title: driveFileTitle
},
shareMode: "STUDENT_COPY"
}
}],
maxPoints: maxPoints,
state: "PUBLISHED",
workType: "ASSIGNMENT"
};
const newCourseAssignment = Classroom.Courses.CourseWork.create(assignment, courseId);
const assId = newCourseAssignment.id;
sheet.getRange('D1').setValue(assId);
}
[[courseId], [topicId], [title], [description], [driveFileId], [driveFileTitle], [maxPoints]]
are correct values, this script works.
