Troubleshooting

Generation fails

Common error: "At least one category must include 'track' in Applies"

  • Ensure column D (Applies) exists.
  • Set at least one category to track or observation, track.
  • Do not put hex color codes in column D.

Other checks:

  • Run linting and fix all bright red and red errors.
  • Verify icon references are accessible.
  • Ensure Fields references exist in Details.
  • Confirm translation sheets have no bright red cells.
  • Check your internet connection (required for the packaging server).

Icons not working

  • Best results: paste inline SVG from https://icons.earthdefenderstoolkit.com.
  • Plain text keywords (e.g., river) are accepted but may be less accurate.
  • For Drive URLs, confirm the format and permissions:
    • https://drive.google.com/file/d/FILE_ID/view
    • File must be shared with View access.
  • Run linting to identify invalid icon references.
  • Orange text on HTTP URLs is a security warning; icons can still work.

Translations missing

  • Verify languages were selected during generation.
  • Confirm translation sheets exist and have data.
  • Run linting and fix bright red translation mismatches.
  • Re-run Manage Languages & Translate to fill blanks.
  • Ensure column A formulas are intact.

Import issues

  • Supported files: .comapeocat and .mapeosettings.
  • Large files may take 1-2 minutes.
  • Check available Drive storage for icon uploads.
  • Open the browser console for errors (View → Developer → JavaScript Console).
  • Try refreshing the spreadsheet and importing again.

Language not recognized

  • Use full language names in Categories!A1 (not codes).
  • Examples:
    • Portuguese or Português
    • Spanish or Español
    • French or Français
  • Codes like pt, es, fr are not valid in A1.

Applies column issues

  • Valid values: observation, track, observation, track.
  • Abbreviations o, t are accepted.
  • At least one category must include track.
  • If the column is missing, the plugin will auto-create it.

Slow performance

  • Reduce the number of categories or languages.
  • Try generating with fewer languages first.
  • Close other browser tabs.
  • Clear browser cache or reopen the sheet.
  • Try again during off-peak hours.

Linting errors you don't understand

  1. Hover over red text cells for detailed notes.
  2. Review Linting rules.
  3. Check the browser console for specific error messages.
  4. Fix one issue at a time and re-run linting.
