NSW - NetSuite Simple Sync utility With Watcher

All Credit goes to https://github.com/ExploreConsulting/netsuite-sync

I have just implement the watcher on it and remove the unneccessary validations from it

This little utility uploads your suitescript files to the NetSuite file cabinet from the command line or as a menu item or button in your IDE.

The idea is it's much faster than to fiddling with the netsuite UI to repeatedly upload a code file you're developing.

Installing

To install globally

npm install -g netsuite-sync-watcher

The commandline program is named nsw

Get help with nsw --help

Getting Started

This utility uploads files to a specific folder in your NetSuite file cabinet. We've found it a best practice to keep all suitescripts in a single folder if possible or event multipile folder will worknpm adduser.

3. Generate a config file with the -g or --gen-config option nsw -g

Answer the prompts and supply the internal id of the destination folder you noted in step 1. This will generate both the NetSuiteConfig file.

4. Upload a file

   nsw -u SomeScriptFile.js

5. Confirm the file is there in NetSuite.

More Detail

Although generating a config with the --gen-config option is the easiest way to go, you can do it more manually with steps described in this section.

Create NetSuite Config

This tool uses SuiteTalk (NetSuite web services) to send files to the file cabinet. Hence it needs some configuration connection info stored locally. This connection info is stored in a file named NetSuiteConfig.js

To generate a config file run with the --gen-config option:

nsw -g

Answer the prompts. You can review the settings in the generated NetSuiteConfig.js file. You can also configure the watcher using this prompt

To help setup a new config file:

nsw --geturl

Upload a suitescript file to NS

nsw -u filename

or

nsw --upload filename

...pushes filename to the NS file cabinet under the folder specified in NetSuiteConfig.js

Upload a suitescript with watcher

    nsw -w 

Development/Tech notes

First step: npm install to pull in all dependencies.

XML files

XML files under /lib named <operation>Template.xml are SOAP snippets representing the NetSuite web service operation

For example, getTemplate.xml is the get operation as described in the NetSuite wsdl.
