无法从 Google 文档中清除页脚

Unable to clear footer from Google Document

当我 运行 下面的代码时,我收到一个 TypeError:

TypeError: Cannot call method "clear" of null. (line 3, file "Code")

来自行:footer.clear()

function insertFooterDate() {
  var footer = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getFooter();
  footer.clear();  // Line 3 - gets the footer & clears all data in footer. 

  //Get date
  var date = new Date();
  var month = date.getMonth()+1;
  var day = date.getDate();
  var year = date.getFullYear();
  var hour = date.getHours()+1;
  var minute = date.getMinutes()+1;
  var filename = doc.getName();

  footer.appendParagraph(day + '/' + month + '/' + year + ' ' + filename);  
  //adds date to footer with filename
}

为什么我的代码执行时会出现此错误?

如果 Google Docs 文件中没有页脚,则无法调用不存在的方法。 Apps 脚本文档服务为 add a footer 提供了一种方法,因此您应该决定是中止需要页脚的方法(如果还没有),还是创建一个。该决定将取决于您的方法应该做什么。

function doStuffWithFooter_(myGDoc) {
  if (!myGDoc) return;
  const footer = myGDoc.getFooter();
  if (!footer) {
    console.warn("Document '" + myGDoc.getId() + "' had no footer.");
    return;
  }
  ... // code that should only run if the doc already had a footer
}

function addDateToFooter_(myGDoc) {
  if (!myGDoc) return;
  var footer = myGDoc.getFooter();
  if (!footer) {
    // no footer, so create one.
    footer = myGDoc.addFooter();
    console.log("Created footer for document '" + myGDoc.getId() + "'.");
  }
  ... // do stuff with footer, because we made sure one exists.
}
