Hi there,


I'm having issues uploading my ad into AdWords; when I try the validator I'm getting this error (only): 'HTML5 ads created using DoubleClick Studio are not supported. [...] DCLK_BUNDLE_NOT_ALLOWED.

Searching for this error on this site came up with the rather irritating statement, that 'HTML5 ads using DoubleClick Studio created ZIP files are not supported'.

Irritating to me, because I created my ZIPs manually. I did not use Google Web Designer for creating this ad. 

Just to make sure I double-checked with this guide, but I cannot see any difference between my code and the code there.
I've done this before (converting non-google-ads to Adwords/DC), and this has always been working fine.

The 'index.html' contains all necessary includes, etc., the 'customEnabler.js' contains the exit method and the call to start the animation. 
I cannot post complete projects here, as they are confidential, so only these two files atm.


Thank you very much!
RS




customEnabler.js
index.html

I looked into you index.html file and saw two references to double click in the html. Below the <body> tag and before the closed html bracket at the bottom.
<gwd-doubleclick id="gwd-ad" polite-load="">
    <gwd-metric-configuration></gwd-metric-configuration>
</gwd-doubleclick>

Have you tried removing this?

Thanks for your response; the solution to the problem was to remove the external link to the Enabler.js and to put it into the ZIP; something that is completely contradictory to all the AdWords Guides I've read in the Help Center.
I also removed the lines you mentioned; for anybody who's interested, here's a snippet of my (working) index.html


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=600">

<script src="Enabler.js"></script> // here comes the external link, normally

<script src="TimelineLite.min.js"></script>
<script src="TweenLite.min.js"></script>
<script src="CSSPlugin.min.js"></script>
<script src="customEnabler.js"></script>
<script src="animateAd.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

</head>
<body>

<div id="page-wrapper" class="abs">

<div id="page-content" class="abs">
[... and all the content comes here ...]
</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>


I don't know why I cannot use external scripts with this one when articles in the Help Center even refer to external Greensock-Scripts, or more common stuff such as the ExitApi.js

I really don't want to work with Google Web Designer anymore, as I find the overhead it creates (HTML_Code, use of CSS-Transitions) a frikkin' disgustin' nightmare.

It's weird I had the same problem when I created an ad through Adobe Animate with a publishing template I use for doubleclick. 

Turns out it was the doubleclick enabler link causing the error to come up. I just commented it out and it appears to preview correctly in the html validator for AdWords. 

Couldn't find any information on the AdWords support page about what enabler is needed. Seems a bit ridiculous they don't have an approved CDN for an enabler? I also checked in GWD using the adwords environment to see what enabler was used and it was the same one I was getting the DCLK_BUNDLE_NOT_ALLOWED error with. https://s0.2mdn.net/ads/studio/Enabler.js
