Description
Will you want to develop GAS on your local PC? Generally, when we develop GAS, we have to login to Google using own browser and develop it on the Script Editor. Recently, I have wanted to have more convenient local-environment for developing GAS. So I created this "ggsrun". The main work is to execute GAS on local terminal and retrieve the results from Google. Furthermore, this tool can be also used for managing files in own Google Drive (OAuth2) and Google Drive for Service Account.
Features of "ggsrun" are as follows.
- Develops GAS using your local terminal and text editor which got accustomed to using.Updated! (v1.4.0)
- Executes GAS by giving values to your script.
- Executes GAS made of CoffeeScript.
- Downloads spreadsheet, document and presentation, while executes GAS, simultaneously.
- Downloads files from Google Drive and Uploads files to Google Drive. Updated! (v1.4.1)
- Downloads standalone script and bound script. Updated! (v1.4.0)
- Downloads all files and folders in a specific folder. Updated! (v1.5.2)
- Upload script files and create project as standalone script and container-bound script. Updated! (v1.5.2)

Before Basic setting flow
IMPORTANT: Please check this.
At April 8, 2019, the specification of Google Apps Script Project was changed. By this, when new GAS project is created after April 8, 2019, in order to use Goole API (Google Apps Script API and Drive API which can be used by ggsrun.), the GAS project is required to link to Cloud Platform Project. When you use the GAS project creted after April 8, 2019, at first, please do this flow.
After the GAS project was linked to Cloud Platform Project by above flow, please do "Basic setting flow" at the next section.

From version 1.7.0, ggsrun can access to Google Drive using Service Account. Updated! (v1.7.0)
ggsrun can access to Google Drive using Service Account. When OAuth2 is used, you can see the files and folders in own Google Drive. When Service Account is used, you can see them in Google Drive for Service Account. Namely, the Drive for OAuth2 is different from that for Service Account. Please be careful this. And when Service Account is used, there are what it can do and what it can't do. About them, please read here.
