Responsive Search Ads selector won't return headline or description text - returns "TypeError: Cannot find function map in object LiteArray." instead.

[Jonathan Pearson]

I'm running a script that uses the headline and description fields from the Responsive Search Ads.

 

It was working absolutely fine until yesterday evening, when suddenly a mysterious error appeared:

 

"TypeError: Cannot find function map in object LiteArray."

 

This appears to relate to the method by which headlines (and descriptions) are identified within the fields of the ad, which looks like this in the code:

 

ad.asType().responsiveSearchAd().getHeadlines()

 

This worked fine before, but now is throwing the error above. Same for descriptions. Although paths and URLs, somewhat oddly, can still be returned without issue.

 

I'm really baffled - the script was working and unchanged, and then suddenly stopped working last night without anything being done to it. I suspect that perhaps the taxonomy of how to acquire the text fields of an RSA ad have changed or been removed, although it's not obvious how they can now be accessed if so.

 

Any ideas as to what's going wrong would be welcome - I've included a short version of the code, which throws the same error, below, for reference:

 

"function main() {

 

  var adSelector = AdWordsApp

  .ads()

  .withCondition("CampaignStatus != REMOVED")

  .withCondition("AdGroupStatus != REMOVED")

  .withCondition("AdType = VERSATILE_TEXT_AD")

  .orderBy("AdGroupId ASC")       

  var adIterator           = adSelector.get();

 

  while (adIterator.hasNext()) {

    var ad                = adIterator.next();

    var adId              = ad.getId();

    var adIsPaused        = ad.isPaused();

 

    var adgroupId         = ad.getAdGroup().getId();

 

    Logger.log(ad.asType().responsiveSearchAd().getHeadlines());

  }  

}"

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for posting your concern.

So that I can take a closer look to your issue regarding the Responsive Search Ads, could you provide the customer ID and the name of the script where you encountered the error? You may send the requested information via Reply privately to author option.

Hi Ejay,

I managed to solve this by getting the same information (headlines, descriptions, paths, and URLs, etc.) via the reporting route instead, so the script is completely updated now with the solution in place - and actually running faster as a result!

However, it was a really odd error and one I assume that must have been the result of somehow being caught in the middle of some kind of deprecation of the elements of the responsive search ads.

Many thanks,

JP

Hello Team,

Jonathan found a workaround but this error still needs to be resolved, right?

Thanks,

Hi Naman,

Could you confirm if you are encountering the same error TypeError: Cannot find function map in object LiteArray. that Jonathan encountered? If yes, so that I can further investigate the issue, could you provide your CID and script name via Reply privately to author? I was not able to replicate the error with the script that Johnathan provided previously.
