Office.ribbon.requestUpdate() throws Uncaught (in promise) RichApi.Error about office-add-in-samples

[davidchesnut]

Hi @EthanVaz , it looks like the documentation is showing the wrong code for the API. I'm doing some more research to confirm. In the meantime you could try the following code to update the ribbon as shown in this sample

// @ts-ignore
  OfficeRuntime.ui
    .getRibbon()
    // @ts-ignore
    .then(ribbon => {
      ribbon.requestUpdate({
        tabs: [
          { ...

Thanks,
David

Tried and still the same error.

Hi @EthanVaz Okay, I am able to reproduce this error if I introduce minor bugs in the manifest. For example, if <FunctionFile...> is not using the shared runtime you will see this error. Is it possible to share your manifest by posting it on your GitHub account somewhere? Or if you can share the add-in code I could try to repro the behavior from your code. Thanks!

I need some time to upload my sample. Meanwhile, can you let me know the changes in the manifest which reproduced the error? Maybe I can try it and fix my issue.

Hi @EthanVaz , sorry for late reply. You can see an example of a manifest using shared runtime here. Also the steps for configuring your manifest are in Configure your Excel add-in to use a shared JavaScript runtime. Thanks!
