clasp: "Error: Request contains an invalid argument" on push and deploy
Expected Behavior
Push code to script project
Actual Behavior
Request fails on clasp push and on clasp redeploy. Redeploy has a more verbose error report:
at new RequestError (/usr/lib/node_modules/@google/clasp/node_modules/google-auth-library/lib/transporters.js:34:42)
at Request._callback (/usr/lib/node_modules/@google/clasp/node_modules/google-auth-library/lib/transporters.js:96:27)

errors:
[ { message: 'Request contains an invalid argument.',
domain: 'global',
reason: 'badRequest' } ] }
The auth library fails, so i tried logging back in and out and into another account to no avail
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- My current project directory looks like:
├── appsscript.json
├── build
├── node_modules
├── package.json
├── package-lock.json
├── README.md
└── src
With src and build as directories. The main apps script in my project is called build/Main.gs and should be pushed from the build directory.
2. My build system is currently just using babel to transpile syntax and perform a simple bundle of the src directory.
Besides that, I don’t know what’s out of the ordinary with my project. My Google account is personal, not organizational, so the auth issues don’t come from that…

Per https://github.com/google/clasp/issues/21#issuecomment-394829151, I created a basic
appsscript.jsonJSON validator in https://github.com/google/clasp/commit/80f3f7c1acae4171c00af4ec97356bf0d5ff4abf.It looks like this:
It only detects JSON errors like a trailing comma.
If anyone else looks through this thread for the mysterious “Error: Request contains an invalid argument” , the issue that caused me recently to get this same error was that I did not have my .git file entered in the .claspignore file. If you have a .git file in that directory, you’ll want to place it in your .claspignore file.
Great! I do need to document
.claspignore. A PR would help. Mind adding a section about.claspignore? Something like:How To…
Ignore Files
… Create a file called
.claspignore… it uses anymatch…
