DoGet not called with state parameter name, server error received

Question

since for a few days when I try to call all the scripts as a service with the “state” parameter, I get the strange “Google Docs encountered a server error”, the doGet method is never called!

Please confirm that something has changed?

Steps to reproduce the problem:

• Create simple script applications using getMethod only

    function doGet (e) {
         Logger.log ("doGet");
         MailApp.sendEmail (" [e-mail] ", "Log", Logger.getLog ());
  
  
  

  var app = UiApp.createApplication(); return app; } 

• Publish service

• Call the script from the "state" parameter passed by the browser

• The server returns an error:

    Google Docs has encountered a server error.  If reloading the page doesn't help, please contact us.

Answer 1

Reporting the problem was correct. But note that this probably won't be “fixed” the way you want. They probably just include in the documentation that you cannot use a parameter called state.

The solution is only to use a different name, for example. myState or something else. Not very annoying or hard to do IMHO.

Answer 2

Looks similar to release 1336 ( http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-script-issues/issues/detail?id=1336 ), although this problem has been fixed. Can you try authorizing your script.
