You are not crazy, SS2.0 External Suitelets don’t run clientside code

July 6, 2017 Adolfo Garza Comments 446 comments

Hey guys, just letting you know that I encountered an issue recently. I was trying to create a Suitelet “Available without Login” that uses a form and I was attaching a button and a clientscript to it, but guess what? The button doesn’t work. I checked the console and every time I call the button I get “require is not defined” error:

So I stripped the suitelet to the most barebones version and I still got the error. I verified with others and it seems to be a defect from SS2.0 External Suitelets.
At the end of the day I was able to run the code by hacking the dom like so:

form.addButton({

id : 'custpage_mybutton',

label : 'MyButton',

functionName : 'runButtonClickAction'

});

var fileContents = file.load(5835).getContents();

var field = form.addField({

id: 'custpageinjectcode',

type: 'INLINEHTML',

label: 'Inject Code'

});

field.defaultValue = "<script>" + fileContents + "</script>";

and as the clientscript file I have this:

$('custpage_mybutton').onclick = function(){ runButtonClickAction(); } //Removes onclick function that fucks with require

function runButtonClickAction(){

alert('Button clicked');

}

Totally not recommended, but just throwing it out there.

Youtube Fix Ctrl+F

I created the Chrome Extension Youtube Fix Ctrl + F because I prefer to use Ctrl + F for finding some text in the page.

The extension stops youtube from going into fullscreen when you press Ctrl+F. Credits to Adrien Pyke for his GreaseMonkey script.

There are no menus involved. Just install and the plugin will take care of the rest.

Tested on Windows.

Snippet to create a delay in a server side script

May 15, 2017 Adolfo Garza Comments 868 comments

The motivation behind the creation of this function stems from the absence of a built-in setTimeout functionality in the server-side environment of Netsuite. Although I personally had not encountered the necessity for such a function, I recognized the potential value it could hold for others facing similar circumstances.

It is essential to note that the provided code relies on a busy-wait mechanism, which is widely acknowledged as an antipattern and discouraged for use. This approach involves a loop that continuously checks the system clock until the specified duration elapses. While it serves as a makeshift alternative, it is important to exercise caution and consider alternative solutions whenever possible.

For your convenience, the function is provided below:

function setTimeout(aFunction, milliseconds){

var date = new Date();

date.setMilliseconds(date.getMilliseconds() + milliseconds);

while(new Date() < date){

}

return aFunction();

}

And then call it like this:

1	setTimeout(function(){ log.debug('Ran after 1 second'); }, 1000);

Beware of execution time limits when running this code. Always test first.

By incorporating this function into your code, you can simulate a delayed execution of a specified function after a given time period. However, it is advisable to explore more efficient and reliable alternatives for handling time-based operations in Netsuite’s server-side environment.
