This guide provides instructions about how to resolve specific Google Meet Add-ons SDK errors that you might encounter while building and testing Meet Add-ons.
To get details about an error, use the
MeetAddonError
object. It contains an
errorType
property which specifies the type of error.
Error types
The following are the error types generated when the Meet Add-ons SDK throws an error, along with explanation on how to interpret them and guidance on what to do when you get them.
| Error | Error message | Action |
|---|---|---|
ActivityIsOngoing |
Cannot perform operation while an activity is ongoing. | Make sure an activity isn't ongoing. |
ActivityStartingStateEmpty |
The activity starting state is empty. | An ActivityStartingState object was supplied, but it doesn't contain any attributes. |
ActivityStartingStateMissingAttributes |
The activity starting state doesn't contain any recognized attributes. | Make sure that the ActivityStartingState object contains at least one of the following attributes: mainStageUrl, sidePanelUrl, or additionalData. |
ActivityStartingStateUnrecognizedAttributes |
The activity starting state contains unrecognized attributes. | Make sure that the ActivityStartingState object has only the following attributes: mainStageUrl, sidePanelUrl, or additionalData. |
AddonSessionAlreadyCreated |
The add-on session has already been created. | Only instantiate the AddonSession once. |
AddonStartingStateMissingAttributes |
The add-on starting state doesn't contain any recognized attributes. | Make sure that the AddonStartingState object contains at least one of the following attributes: sidePanelUrl, additionalData. |
AddonStartingStateUnrecognizedAttributes |
The add-on starting state contains unrecognized attributes. | Make sure that the AddonStartingState object has only the following attributes: sidePanelUrl, additionalData. |
ArgumentNullError |
The value of the supplied object is null where a value was expected. | Make sure you're passing a value of the expected type for the argument. |
ArgumentTypeError |
The type of the supplied object did not match the expected type. | Make sure the type of the argument provided matches the expected type. |
DestinationNotReady |
