Script is working ONLY in step-by-step - google-sheets

you'll find on sheet Key, what is meant to do :
Find in all sheets, first in column B the row where the reference (Key!B1) stands, then starting from this row, find in column C where the reference (Key!B2) stands for first
in other words, we are looking for the couple and make the cell in column C as activecell
the script is working in debug mode, only
running it using the button in sheet Key, make it "not select" the good cell, even if the cell to be selected is found (logged in Logger)
I use a color function
That mean, blue or red is the cell to be selected , and sometimes it's not selected
the code :
function lookFor() {
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var referSheet=ss.getSheetByName("Key");
var sheetToCheck = new Array;
sheetToCheck[0]=ss.getSheetByName("work");
sheetToCheck[1]=ss.getSheetByName("user");
sheetToCheck[2]=ss.getSheetByName("tax");
sheetToCheck[3]=ss.getSheetByName("cont");
sheetToCheck[4]=ss.getSheetByName("ind");
var referenceB=referSheet.getRange("B1").getValue();
var referenceC=referSheet.getRange("B2").getValue();
//loop to work with all reference as long as there are data in the column A
for (j in sheetToCheck){
sheetToCheck[j].setActiveCell("A1");
var dataToCheck=new Array;
dataToCheck=sheetToCheck[j].getRange(1,2,sheetToCheck[j].getLastRow(),2).getValues();
for (i in dataToCheck){
var done=false;
if (dataToCheck[i][0]==referenceB){
for (k=i;k<dataToCheck.length;k++){
if (dataToCheck[k][1]==referenceC){
//this part is user to change the color of the cell, to check if the code is working well
if (sheetToCheck[j].getRange(parseInt(k)+1,3,1,1).getBackgroundColor()=="red"){
sheetToCheck[j].getRange(parseInt(k)+1,3,1,1).setBackgroundColor("blue");
}
else
{
sheetToCheck[j].getRange(parseInt(k)+1,3,1,1).setBackgroundColor("red");
}
var cell=sheetToCheck[j].getRange(parseInt(k)+1,3,1,1).getA1Notation() ;
sheetToCheck[j].setActiveCell(cell);
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
done=true;
Logger.log("Sheet :"+sheetToCheck[j].getName()+" - Cell :"+cell);
break;
}
}
if (done==true){
break;
}
}
}
}
}

I noticed you aready fixed this in your script:
var referenceB=referSheet.getRange("B1").getValue(); //A2
var referenceC=referSheet.getRange("B2").getValue(); //B2
Here is a shorter version of your code :)
function LookForCity() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var referSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Key").getDataRange().getValues()[1];
var sheetName = ["work", "user", "tax", "cont", "ind"];
for (j in sheetName){
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName(sheetName[j]);
var values = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
for(i in values){
if(values[i][1] == referSheet[0] && values[i][2] == referSheet[1]){
Logger.log('Sheet: ' + sheetName[j]+ ' Cell: C'+(parseInt(i)+1) );
sheet.setActiveCell(sheet.getRange(parseInt(i)+1, 3));
Utilities.sleep(3000);
break;
}
}
}
}
