AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The error you're encountering,

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getValue' of undefined

, is typically thrown when you're trying to access a property or method on an object that is

undefined

. In your case, it seems like you're trying to call the

getValue

method on an object that is

undefined

. This error is common when dealing with search results in SuiteScript. If a search does not return any results, the search result object will be

undefined

, and trying to call

getValue

on it will throw this error. To avoid this error, you should always check if the object is

undefined

before trying to call

getValue

on it. Here's a simple example:

javascript
var searchResult = /* your search here */;
if (searchResult) {
    var value = searchResult.getValue('your_field');
}

In this example,

getValue

will only be called if

searchResult

is not

undefined

. Another way to handle this is by using the optional chaining operator (

?.

). This operator short-circuits and returns

undefined

if the object before the

?.

is

undefined

or

null

. Here's how you can use it:

javascript
var value = searchResult?.getValue('your_field');

In this example,

value

will be

undefined

if

searchResult

is

undefined

or

null

. Remember, it's always a good practice to handle potential

undefined

or

null

values in your code to prevent runtime errors. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
