%s got both %q and "range" — keep "range" and drop %q

Error message

%s got both %q and "range" — keep "range" and drop %q

What it means

Special case for the ranges/range pair: when the vocab has `range` but not `ranges`, a `ranges` key in the input conflicts with an existing `range` key. The dispatcher errors, telling you to keep `range` and drop the `ranges` spelling.

Solutions

  1. Remove the `ranges` key and keep the `range` key.
  2. If you meant multiple ranges, split them into multiple sub-ops, one per range, each with a single `range`.
  3. Update legacy payloads that used the plural key to the singular form.

Example fix

// before
{"range": "Sheet1!A1:B2", "ranges": ["Sheet1!C1:D2"]}
// after
{"range": "Sheet1!A1:B2"} // plus a second sub-op for Sheet1!C1:D2
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

if r, ok := op["ranges"]; ok {
    if _, also := op["range"]; also {
        return errors.New("use only `range` (single value) or split into sub-ops")
    }
    _ = r
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Sub-op input contains both `range` and `ranges` (in any casing normalized to `ranges`) for an op whose vocabulary only accepts a single `range` field.

Common situations: Reusing payload shapes from ops that accept `ranges` in ops that take one `range`; older scripts written against a plural-key API version.
