`script scripts run` percent-encodes unreserved characters in scriptId path parameter, causing 404
Author: josephjCreated Jun 10, 2026Updated Sep 9, 2026
When calling gws script scripts run, the scriptId passed via --params is percent-encoded in the URL path, turning - into %2D and _ into %5F. These are unreserved characters per RFC 3986 and should not be encoded. The resulting URL is rejected by the Apps Script Execution API with 404.
Steps to reproduce
gws script scripts run \
--params '{"scriptId":"1-ukYIb8XjT9KQlsj6_NbryM5UJXBwAMeY5GKtSBA05csXty3iY7DhO-P"}' \
--json '{"function":"myFunction","devMode":true}' \
--dry-runExpected URL
https://script.googleapis.com/v1/scripts/1-ukYIb8XjT9KQlsj6_NbryM5UJXBwAMeY5GKtSBA05csXty3iY7DhO-P:runActual URL
https://script.googleapis.com/v1/scripts/1%2DukYIb8XjT9KQlsj6%5FNbryM5UJXBwAMeY5GKtSBA05csXty3iY7DhO%2DP:runResult: API returns 404 Requested entity was not found, even though the same scriptId works correctly with gws script projects get.
Note: gws script projects get --params '{"scriptId":"..."}' works fine — the path encoding issue appears to be specific to the scripts run endpoint.
