About

Google Apps Script runtime is an engine that defines syntax rules, parses, executes, and sets interaction limits for scripts written in Google Apps Script programming language. Currently, there are two runtimes a developer can choose from (although Rhino is considered deprecated):

  1. C++ based V8 runtime (V8 engine)
  2. Java-based Rhino runtime (for backward compatibility)

Use for questions

  1. About runtime engine issues as applied to programming in Google Apps Script language
  2. About script project migration (use with all relevant runtime-specific tags)
  3. About comparisons of feature behaviour of the runtimes.

Use with either or for runtime-specific questions

Do not use for questions

About debugging issues occurring "at runtime", use with a product or API-specific tags where applicable instead.

Useful Resources

  1. V8 runtime overview
  2. Migrating to V8 runtime guide
  3. Manifest resource (runtimeVersion field)

In Google Apps Script do breakpoints work differently when using the new V8 runtime?

Using the old runtime I could set a breakpoint anywhere in my code. With the new v8 runtime breakpoints apparently have to be in the function I run from the debugger? Is this intended behavior? Am I doing something wrong in the debugger, or in my…
