Hi Eric, I figured out the issue with the sandbox. In your adwords.properties or equivalent file, the field name for the sandbox should be alternateUrl instead of alternativeUrl. It looks like the documentation provided in the template for the adwords.properties file is wrong.
I do not get any warning if I specify all the variables there even if one of them is optional. For the optional one I just had to specify blank as the value. Below is a sample (other combinations might work as well) of what I had to specify in the adwords.properties file to get rid of the problems and warnings. Now my request is going to the sandbox. email=...@gmail.com password=xxxxxxxx clientid=client_1+...@gmail.com userAgent=sandboxTest developertoken=...@gmail.com++cad applicationToken= alternateUrl=https://adwords-sandbox.google.com I am going to try "TargetingIdeaService" now and I shall get back to you if I have problem(s). :) Thanks.
