I read that Suitecloud ide will be discontinued in 2022. What IDE are you planning to use, then? I tried to use other Text Editors (like Visual Studio Code) enhanced with plugins but it is not the same.

I use atom IDE, been using it for some time, some great plugins which will suggest code, and also can use in same environment for freemarker. BUT, and huge but is it cant use suite development framework... so haha

Thank you so much

how come?

Suitescript validation and suggestions. Code upload and download.

no, actually @Manuel Toniato you're right on track, that's stuff only Eclipse / webstorm with NetSuite SDF can do

I use VSCode so cannot speak to compatibility with Atom, but https://github.com/headintheclouddev/typings-suitescript-2.0 is good for the SuiteScript validation & suggestions portion (you do not have to be using TypeScript overall, is compatible with JS with the correct setup, just needs to be with a TS-aware editor/IDE)

Unfortunately we are still using suitescript 1.0

I have limited experience using what I linked with 1.0, but they have the SuiteScriptV1.d.ts included as well, so did give the 1.0 intellisense too from my usage

i say atom because there is a custom module you can install for atom that will include both NetSuite 1.0 library + NetSuite 2.x Library called autocomplete-netsuite

I highly recommend webstorm

Is it the same of PHPStorm for javascript?

@stalbert can the unlimited extended trial version do these or are you a subscriber?

I'm a subscriber, and the price should be truly trivial relative to pay/salary in the NetSuite space. I'm baffled as to why developers making many thousands of dollars per year won't pay for any tools. Imagine being a carpenter and insisting on only using free tools.

@stalbert thanks, unfortunately for me I actually bare this cost not my company, and also office.... haha.... so for me , webstorm isn't neglible, nevertheless. I'm sold ^_^

well, if you pay for an office, surely the yearly subscription price for webstorm is tiny compared to the office price. I think I pay something like $30 or $40 a year.

can i get from you say a reference, or not even a reference but a personal recommendation that webstorm is worth this buck?

that said, if I were going to go 'free' I'd use VSCode. However the original poster wasn't satisfied with that - Webstorm is a more full featured IDE that exceeds the richness of Eclipse IMHO so that sounds like a good fit for them.

likewise am not trying to push VSCode necessarily 🙂 , but worth mentioning NetSuite team is working on VSCode extension that will be released "soon" that should provide other portion of currently missing functionality beingprovided by Eclipse/WebStorm IDE plugins https://github.com/oracle/netsuite-suitecloud-sdk/tree/dev/packages

I recommend Webstorm as well; the time it saves me daily with the NS plugin is worth the cost alone.

I love WebStorm, my employer pays for my licence and the rest of the teams too but I also pay for my own licence to use on my own machine for when I'm coding for fun 😄 Eclipse is a poor relative I'd hate to move back to.
