Troubleshooting¶
Error installing add-ins¶
When installing the Office.js add-in, you get the following error in the taskbar of Excel: “Addin xlwings Server failed to download a required resource”.
Solution: Make sure to run your server via https, not via http by using TLS certificates. This also means that you will need to use a domain name, not the IP address directly.
Error after upgrading xlwings Server (upstream)¶
You pulled a new version of upstream xlwings Server and now you get errors when running the server.
Solution: You most likely missed upgrading the dependencies. After pulling in a new version of xlwings Server, always make sure to follow the Upgrade xlwings Server documentation. This also includes setting up the repository as shown under Git Repository Setup to reduce merge conflicts.
