battk
03/22/2019, 4:41 PMvery similar to other unit tests

03/22/2019, 4:41 PMexcept that you will be mocking netsuite's api

03/22/2019, 4:48 PMor alternatively, separate your business logic from actual netsuite logic and you can unit test easily.. you don't REALLY need to mock netsuite api as you shouldn't be testing netsuite but rather your logic on the data FROM netsuite
creece
03/22/2019, 4:49 PMits a totally different way of writing netsuite code to work that way.. or write in some higher abstraction like typescript but you're still mocking a lot more than you really need to

03/22/2019, 5:06 PMThanks @battk and @creece. Actually I am new to both SS2.0 and unit testing. Normally we just upload our files to NetSuite and it just recognizes the "define" structures. Could you please point me how i can trigger the scripts and how will my local environment know what is "define".

03/22/2019, 5:07 PMyou'd have to find some kind of unit testing framework like mocha/should and follow their patterns
creece
03/22/2019, 5:07 PMunit tests would be 100% outside of netsuite
creece
03/22/2019, 5:08 PMthere IS a help article on unit testing w/ a sample as well

03/22/2019, 5:11 PMthe more you can decouple your logic from netsuite logic the better your tests are going to be
creece
03/22/2019, 5:11 PMthen you dont need to mock netsuite methods
creece
03/22/2019, 5:20 PMim pretty interested in this kind of stuff if you find a better way lemme know
