list does not exist when I call spservices() / GetListItems

Question

I'm starting to develop in SharePoint Online, but I don't arrive to do work spservices() with GetListItems().

I have create an application with napacloudapp

In this application I have put that :

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function() {

        $().SPServices({
            operation: "GetListItems",
            async: false,
            webURL: "https://mycompagny.sharepoint.com/sites/test",
            listName: "Contacts",
            CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Title' /></ViewFields>",
            completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
                $(xData.responseXML).SPFilterNode("z:row").each(function() {
                    var liHtml = "<li>" + $(this).attr("ows_Title") + "</li>";
                    $("#tasksUL").append(liHtml);
                });
                alert(xData.responseText);                  
            }
        });

    });

</script>

So when I run my project with my alert(xData.responseText); I can see

"the List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."

I have added weburl parameter like Amal and bgmcoder said. Now in the console I have this error :

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 405 (Method Not Allowed)

Answer 1

You might have to enable the Custom Script setting in Sharepoint Online.

The settings page is in Sharepoint Admin Settings - the url is like this:

https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/layouts/15/online/TenantSettings.aspx

Custom Script Control whether users can run custom script on personal sites and self-service created sites. Note: changes to this setting might take up to 24 hours to take effect.

For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=397546

These are the options:

• Prevent users from running custom script on personal sites
• Allow users to run custom script on personal sites

Answer 2

You can pass the url of the site which has the list

webUrl: "http://weburl/"

Answer 3

Generally speaking, the webURL shouldn't look like this:

webURL: "https://mycompagny.sharepoint.com/sites/test",

My guess us that you really want

webURL: "/sites/test",

In other words, the webURL should be the relative path to the site where the list is located. However, you only need to specify the webURL if the list is not in the current context (site).
