Check that your add-ons aren't failing with Rhino errors

I maintain the Crop Sheet add-on and got alerted by a user that it wasn’t loading correctly (only the “Help” option was in the add-on menu). I looked into it, and the script was failing with the following error:

Execution failed. The Rhino runtime is deprecated and no longer supported.

It looks like Google is finally ending support for the older Rhino runtime, and logging showed these errors started at 1AM ET this morning. Although I had updated the code to use the V8 runtime, I apparently hadn’t republished it as an add-on. Creating a new deployment, updating the marketplace listing, and republishing it appears to have solved the problem.

If you maintain some add-ons or scripts it might be a good idea to check that they are all still working.

I love Crop Sheet, Eric, and use it all the time! :slight_smile:

Sheets looks so much better without the unnecessary rows and columns.

I tested it just now, and it ran without an issue.

BTW, Help isn’t visible when the addon works. Pretty sure it only shows the two options Crop to data and Crop to selection.

Hi Eric! Nice to see you arround.

Did you report the bug in the issue tracker? :wink:

Thanks for the kind words @kim_nilsson! I never cease to be amazed how large of an impact those ~75 lines of code have had on the world.

@jpp - No, I didn’t report it. On the migration page they state “The Rhino runtime is turning down on or after January 31, 2026.” So it seems like I got a little extra time, if anything! That said, I didn’t seem to get any warning emails from Google, which would have been nice.

Hi Erick! Thank you for this great info…i am using Doctopus and Goobric - I got the same message…how do I “Create a new deployment, updating the marketplace listing, and republishing it appears to have solved the problem.”…i asked my Admin to uninstall and reinstall both Goobric and Doctopus Add Ons to see if that helps solve the error message…i did poke around the App Scripts and saw this Deplyment thingy…not sure how to do it…:face_with_hand_over_mouth:
