Practice

-----DOWNLOAD-----

(mkdir SDF_Top)

cd SDF_Top

suitecloud project:create -i

　　- Created new project(SDF_Test1), it will create new folder under SDF_Top with project name: SDF_Test1.

cd SDF_Test1

suitecloud account:setup

Now this folder is the main project folder

suitecloud object:import -i

? Do you want to import all object types? Yes

? Do you want to enter a script ID to filter your list? Yes

? Enter the full or partial script ID. _track

? Select the objects you want to import (Press <space> to select, <a> to toggle all, <i> to invert selection)

-----UPLOAD-----

suitecloud account:setup

Create a new authentication ID (authID).

suitecloud project:adddependencies

suitecloud project:validate

The validation process has finished.

 -----Troubleshooting-----

#1. Error message:

An error occurred during file validation.
Details: Resource files can only be uploaded into the /SuiteScripts/,
/Templates/E-mail Templates/,
/Templates/Marketing Templates/,
/Web Site Hosting Files/ folder.
File: ~/FileCabinet/.DS_Store

For Mac, you might need to: rm ~/FileCabinet/.DS_Store  and rm ~/FileCabinet/Templates/.DS_Store

Since suitecloud project:deploy is trying to deploy those hidden files and trigger error: An error occurred during file validation. Details: Resource files can only be uploaded into the /SuiteScripts/, /Templates/E-mail Templates/, /Templates/Marketing Templates/, /Web Site Hosting Files/ folder.

#2. Error Message:

An error occurred during account settings validation.
Details: The manifest contains a dependency on /SuiteScripts/Project_Name/ScriptFileName.js file, but it is not in the account.

When we saw this, it means we need to deploy the script file first.  We can upload them in filecabinet OR deploy like this:

1. Deploy Files
1.1 Comment out Dependencies files in manifest.xml. I.e. <!-<file>/SuiteScripts/Project_Name/ScriptFileName.js</file> -->
1.2 Comment out whole section in deploy.xml. I.e. <!-<objects> ../Objects/* </objects> -->
1.3 suitecloud project:deploy

#3. Error Message:

An error occurred during deploy file validation.
Details: The deploy file is invalid at line 2, column(s) 20 - cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'configuration'. One of '{configurations, objects, files, translationimports}' is expected..
File: ~/deploy.xml

We must comment out no need deployment section/context by <!-   -->.  I.e.

<!-- <files>-->
<!-- <path>~/FileCabinet/*</path>-->
<!-- </files>-->

 

#4. Error Message:  (When we deploy Script Record Object, we might facing error)

Validation failed.

An error occurred during custom object validation. (customscript_blc_sc_createcreditmemoso)
Details: The file reference /SuiteScripts/Project_Name/ScriptFileName.js is missing in the project and also not included in the dependencies list.
File: ~/Objects/customscript_ScriptFileName.xml

We need to add(or uncomment) the dependencies in manifest.xml for script record object deployment; so usually we deploy by below sequences: 

1. Deploy Files
1.1 Comment out Dependencies files in manifest.xml. I.e. <!-<file>/SuiteScripts/Prolecto_BLC/BLC_UE_SalesOrder.js</file> -->
1.2 Comment out whole section in deploy.xml. I.e. <!-<objects> ../Objects/* </objects> -->
1.3 suitecloud project:deploy

2. Deploy Script Records
2.1 Update manifest.xml to enable the dependency for all files section.
2.2 Update deploy.xml to enable the objects section and comment out the <files> section.
<!--<files> -->
<!--<path>~/FileCabinet/*</path>-->
<!--</files>-->
2.3 suitecloud project:deploy
