i don't suppose there's any kind of development REPL where i can just write code in the context of my sandbox account and see what happens? 😅

There isn't, but you can log in to any page that supports suitescript (Edit mode of any record is usually a good default) and write code in the browser console

how do i get at the equivalent of N/search (suitescript 2.x)?

Yet another of my ancient videos:

filterExpression didn't get the job done. it didn't fail, but it returned all records without filtering it seems like

Oh I guess I wrote it down too: https://stoic.software/articles/8-ss2-console/ 😂

okay, this helped me narrow it down to the "columns" property in search.create 🙂

Not sure if it helps, but suitescript debugger was my go to: Customisation>Scripting>Script Debugger Wonder if Eric has changed his mind since https://stoic.software/articles/suitescript-debugger/ hahah, but I do use it for a what i think a few useful reasons Debugging chunks of MR, debugging UEs, date formats, search criterias, suiteql, loading part of the script I've even used it to do test connectivity with sftp.. Or maybe even on demand as a NetSuite Administrator fix a couple of broken records that need retriggering (edit and save) This is the snippet, you can slap the code that needs debugging in the try and then just see...

require(['N/record','N/runtime','N/search','N/format'], function(record,runtime,search,format) {
  try{

  } catch (e) {
    log.error("ERROR:", JSON.stringify({type: e.type,name: e.name,message: e.message,stack: e.stack,cause: JSON.stringify(e.cause),id: e.id}));
  }
});

i couldn't get the suitescript debugger to show my deployed script at all 😞

@Kris Reeves you need to be the actual script owner in the script record, and it needs to be in testing mode

i did deploy in testing mode, though i'm not fully sure how to identify who the script owner is. i personally deployed it using VS code and a token bound to my user

okok what i mean is this owner is john smith, you'll need to change it to yourself, and then it'll popup in the debugger

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
