Web App executions are not displayed in Google Apps Script "Dashboard"

I have a container-bound Google Apps Script script.

I have the script deployed as a web app, set to execute as me with access granted to Anyone, even anonymous.

However, when I launch the script editor (from the Google Sheets Tools menu) and then choose "View -> Executions" I can see time driven and onEdit executions, but no Web App executions.

This section of Google's documentation suggests that I should also be able to see webapp executions:

The Execution type column shows what initiated the execution. Values include:
- Add On. The execution originated from an add-on.
- Execution API. The execution originated from an invocation of the Apps Script API.
- Time Driven. The execution was caused by a time event.
- Trigger. The execution originated from a trigger source.
- Webapp. The execution originated from a deployed web app.
- Editor. The execution originated from the Apps Script editor.

Does anyone know how to make them display or why they wouldn't display?

Solution

  • The Dashboard refers to https://script.google.com/home, not to the Script Editor's "View Execution Transcripts"

    After clicking "My Executions": My Executions

    After selecting a project:
    A Selected Project

    These transcripts are not the same as the method-by-method call stack that is available from the Script Editor.

    Edit: Per documentation (and confirmed via experiment), executions initiated by anonymous users are not tracked, in graphs (mentioned in documentation), or in the Execution history (not documented):

    • Users The number of unique user (accounts) who ran the project one or more times over the specified time period. Anonymous users are not tracked and therefore are not reflected in the user count or graphs.
