So you can actually create a promise serverside in netsuite now. The question is what happens if i execute some long process in a promise and the script execution finishes, will my promise keep executing or does netsuite actually wipe out your process

very interesting - can you provide evidence of where a promise is supported in server-side script?

I mean, code that doesn't error and or documentation to support that?

I thought promises were strictly client-side in SuiteScript.

I think you can use a promise now with ss2.1 but i dont think itll execute once your script finishes executing

```/**
 *@NApiVersion 2.1
 *@NScriptType Suitelet
 */
define(['N/record',
], function (record) {

    function onRequest(context) {
     
        const promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {

            resolve(record.submitFields({ type: 'employee', id: 1681967, values: { title: 'Chief Of Happiness' } }))
            
        })
        promise.then(function (value) { 
            context.response.write('Record id ' + value + ' updated')
        })

    }

    return {
        onRequest: onRequest
    }
});```

Replace the employee id with your id and it should update your title to "Chief Of Happiness"

I wonder if that's a '2.1 is beta' mistake on their part?

Do your `promise.then` ever get executed? and equally importantly, if you add a log or response after your ` const promise` is it executed immediately (i.e. before your   then())

In general I've found no need for promises server-side because the invocation of the script is a clean single thread of execution in an otherwise highly parallel application. i.e. NetSuite is doing massive multithreading and/or async stuff behind the scenes while also presenting the developer with a clean single threaded execution model.

you can make Promises, but NetSuite exposes nothing that is async, so you can't do anything interesting with the Promise

so you're saying netsuite is making promises it can't keep?
