PE-GSH-5000

Error message

Missing a valid response object.

What it means

PE-GSH-5000 (QUERY_EXECUTION_FAILED). RowsDeleteMethod.transformExecutionResponse rejects a null response from the Google Sheets API. A null body means the upstream call produced nothing - transport-level failure, interceptor returning null, or framework issue.

Solutions

1. Retry the action - usually transient.
2. Re-authorize the Google Sheets datasource if the token may have expired.
3. Inspect proxy/network logs for an empty body or non-2xx status swallowed upstream.
4. If it persists, report as a plugin/framework defect.

try {
    result = method.transformExecutionResponse(response, config, ids);
} catch (AppsmithPluginException e) {
    if ("PE-GSH-5000".equals(e.getAppsmithError().getCode()) && response == null) {
        // retry with backoff or re-authorize datasource
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: The underlying Sheets batchUpdate/delete request returned a null body: network blip, expired OAuth token producing an empty success response, or a misbehaving HTTP filter.

Common situations: Transient network/proxy issue; OAuth2 token expired mid-session; an environment with an interceptor that drops response bodies.
