I made an action to clear guides and call it from a script but in case there are no guides this error apears. 
Is it possible to not show this error if there are no guides in the current document?

I offer two solutions.

 

  1. Set app.userInteractionLevel to UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS before executing the action

(function() {

  // solution 1: set app.userInteractionLevel to UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS
  var oldInteractionLevel = app.userInteractionLevel ;
  try {
    app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS ;
    app.doScript('Clear Guide', 'Set Name') ;
...
