12/12/2018, 3:32 PM@jkabot my paths all broke because I bundled my project and the directory depth doesn't match

12/12/2018, 3:38 PMMy workaround for this shortcoming has been to resolve the file path of the currently executing script file.
Copy code
export function getScriptFileId(scriptId: string): string {
const results = search.create({
type: 'script',
filters: ['scriptid', 'is', scriptId],
columns: ['scriptfile']
}).run().getRange({ start: 0, end: 1 });
if (results.length === 0) {
return '';
}
return results[0].getValue('scriptfile');
} Copy code
const scriptFileId = getScriptFileId(runtime.getCurrentScript().id);
const scriptFile = file.load({ id: scriptFileId });
const lastSlash = scriptFile.path.lastIndexOf('/');
const scriptFolderPath = scriptFile.path.substring(0, lastSlash);
const relativeFile = file.load({ id: `${scriptFolderPath}/path/to/relative/file` });👍 1

12/12/2018, 3:44 PMSo you're loading the file of currently running script & getting a path -- wondering if there's any performance issue ?

12/12/2018, 3:46 PMIt's a performance hit but I believe it's the only way to not hard code your file paths.

12/12/2018, 3:50 PM@jkabot: export function getScriptFileId(scriptId: string): string --- NS lets you use this format ?
Vaid
12/12/2018, 3:50 PMand const ?
Vaid
12/12/2018, 3:51 PMHow did you make that work ?
j
jkabot
12/12/2018, 3:53 PMNo I write it in typescript and then compile the script files when they are deployed to NetSuite

Vaid
12/12/2018, 3:53 PMCool, what tool are you using ? Is the compilation> deployment automated in your setup ?
j
jkabot
12/12/2018, 3:55 PMI have a gulpfile that sends files through the typescript compiler and then writes the output to NetSuite using https://github.com/suiteplus/nscabinet

12/12/2018, 3:56 PMThank you for sharing that, I've been thinking of doing the same with ES6 compiler

12/12/2018, 4:08 PMThis is one reason I avoid bundles. I expect SDF to take over in this regard.

ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:14 PMShouldn't
'../../Templates/my_template.xml''SuiteScripts/Traveler/Templates/my_template.xml'j
jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:17 PMYes if the currently executing script is something like
'SuiteScripts/Traveler/somewhere/another-folder/your_script.js'e
ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:18 PMIt's in
SuiteScripts/TravelerTemplatesj
jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:19 PMwhat's the path of your script

ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:19 PMSuiteScripts/Traveler/my_suitelet.jsehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:20 PMthe suitelet is trying to load
suitescripts/traveler/templates/my_template.xmlj
jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:21 PMAnd your goal is to file.load({ id: 'SuiteScripts/Traveler/Templates/my_template.xml' }) ?
e
ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:21 PMYeah

jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:22 PMSo if you use a search strategy like what I shared,
e
ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:22 PMI think using your function is the best way to handle it
ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:22 PMaye

jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:22 PMthe value of
scriptFile.path'SuiteScripts/Traveler/my_suitelet.js'jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:22 PMand the value of
scriptFolderPath'SuiteScripts/Traveler'jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:23 PMso you can get to that xml file with
scriptFolderPath + '/Templates/my_template.xml'e
ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:23 PMI was just wondering why the double
../../j
jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:24 PMIf you're reading the documentation for file.load it is pretty misleading because it uses the word "relative" but in my experience it has no support for "./" and "../"
jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:25 PMIt requires the full path of the file
e
ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:25 PMAh, damn, I feel like an idiot now lol
ehcanadian
12/12/2018, 4:25 PMthat would make sense, heh
j
jkabot
12/12/2018, 4:26 PMthe documentation would make more sense if it said "The absolute path of the file in the file cabinet"
