Given the following Suitelet code:

/**
 * @NApiVersion 2.x
 * @NScriptType Suitelet
 */
define(["N/search", "N/render", "N/record"], function (search, render, record) {
    "use strict";

    function onRequest(context) {
        log.debug("Hello", "World");
        if (context) {
            log.debug("context", "exists");
        }
        if (context.request) {
            log.debug("context.request", context.request);
        }
    }

    return {
        onRequest: onRequest,
    };
});

Why do I get the error: "error": { "code": "JS_EXCEPTION", "message": "org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Expected argument of type object, but instead had type string (/SuiteScripts/script.js#14)" } Thread in Slack Conversation

N/log

Unrelated: Why do I so frequently see people using

use strict

in SuiteScript? What does it change about the NetSuite runtime? Is this a holdover from the browser? What am I missing?

I've tried,

function onRequest(context) {
  log.debug("Hello", "World");
  if (context) {
    log.debug("context", "exists");
    log.debug({ 
      title: "context", 
      details: JSON.stringify(context)
    });
  }
}

No need to stringify in that example

It logs the "Hello World" and "context", "exists"

Though it shouldn't cause a problem to do so

Looks like the error is coming from line 14, which is the only line that passes an object to the log function as the second argument

No error doing so client-side

What does calling log like that from the browser do? 🤔

Nor server-side in a Suitelet I have

Maybe it's an effect of "use strict"

ah, So I've hit the Suitelet endpoint using the browser, logs fine. no errors. If I hit the endpoint using postman, logs error.

odd

probably less about the log.debug and more about the context I suspect, thanks for the help

Are the browser and postman requests using different URLs / auth?

I think the problem is that

details

is overloaded but

title

is not, therefore trying to use

context

which is an object in the

title

is what is causing this problem.

Which line uses an object in the

title

?

log.debug({ title: "context", details: JSON.stringify(context) });

Those first params are all strings

I totally missed the

""

you are right @erictgrubaugh Then it must be this:

"use strict";

I'll try without

"use strict"

@nathanw Are the browser and postman requests using different URLs and/or auth?

@Clay Roper Same Url, Postman using TBA

@nathanw Are they both authenticating as the same user and role?

the two-string parameter is not documented is it

It is not

@Clay Roper, same user different Role

@nathanw Nice - I'm not sure why it would matter, but it helps to reduce the variables 😄

good call, I've run in both chrome / postman as same user / same role • chrome - works, logs context • postman - throws error

Since you are using Postman, I assume you are using a Suitelet Available without login, there are some shenanigans with those, as you can see here: • https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/chapter_N2997713.html With that being said, please try to set a User-Agent in Postman.

@alien4u The Suitelet is not available without login

If the Suitelet is not available without login I don't think you will be able to hit from Postman (externally).
