I have a google ads script which is failing with the following error.

TypeError: Cannot find default value for object.

It seems fairly cryptic so im not sure what its referring to.

This is the line that its failing on:

var adOperation = adGroup.newAd().expandedTextAdBuilder()   .newAd()   .expandedTextAdBuilder()   .withHeadline1(expandedTextAd.getHeadline1())   .withHeadline2(expandedTextAd.getHeadline2())   .withDescription1(expandedTextAd.getDescription1())   .withPath1(expandedTextAd.getPath1())   .withPath2(expandedTextAd.getPath2())   .withTrackingTemplate(expandedTextAd.getTrackingTemplate())   .withFinalUrl(expandedTextAd.getFinalUrl())   .build(adGroup);

I've checked adGroup is set and it is, not sure where to go from here.

Update:

I split the line in to each method call and the line which is failing is line 1

> var adOperation = adGroup .newAd() .expandedTextAdBuilder()

Tag:google-ads-api, google-apps-script

    After a few hours head scratching, I fixed this by removing adGroup from the .build() method. build() doesn't take any parameters and I'm not sure why I was passing it. Still a very strange error.

    var adOperation = adGroup .newAd() .expandedTextAdBuilder() .withHeadline1(expandedTextAd.getHeadline1()) .withHeadline2(expandedTextAd.getHeadline2()) .withDescription1(expandedTextAd.getDescription1()) .withPath1(expandedTextAd.getPath1()) .withPath2(expandedTextAd.getPath2()) .withTrackingTemplate(expandedTextAd.getTrackingTemplate()) .withFinalUrl(expandedTextAd.getFinalUrl()) .build();

    I would recommend anyone trying to solve anything similar to unchain the method calls and debug each call line by line.
