Hey folks, just a question. Netsuite won't allow me to write the words 
async function(){   console.log('hi')   }
in a JS file (it's not attached to a script record of any sort). Is there any way to get around this? When I try to do this, it pops up with an error saying 'Syntax error: missing ; before statement'.
j
can you post the rest of your code?

Copy code
require(['N/record', 'N/search'], function(record, search)
        {
            (async function() {

                var s = await search.create.promise({
                    type: 'transaction',
                    filters: [
                        {name: 'internalid', operator: 'anyof', values:[nlapiGetRecordId()]}
                    ],
                    columns: [
                        {name: 'createdfrom'},
                        {name: 'shipdate', join: 'createdfrom'},
                        {name: 'item'},
                        {name: 'displayname', join: 'item'},
                        {name: 'custitem_cal_type', join: 'item'}
                    ]
                });
                var p = await s.runPaged.promise({pageSize:1000})

                var createdfrom = '';
                var duedate = '';
                var items = {};

                for(page_index = 0; page_index < p.pageRanges.length; page_index++)
                {
                    var pageRange = p.pageRanges[page_index];
                    var page = await p.fetch.promise(pageRange);
                    page.data.forEach(function(result)
                    {
                        if(createdfrom == '')
                        {
                            createdfrom = result.getText({name:'createdfrom'});
                        }
                        if(duedate == '')
                        {
                            duedate = result.getValue({name:'shipdate',join:'createdfrom'});
                        }
                        var item_id = result.getValue({name:'item'});
                        items[item_id] = {
                            classification: result.getText({name: 'custitem_cal_type', join:'item'}),
                            displayname: result.getValue({name: 'displayname', join:'item'})
                        }
                    })
                }

                console.log(items);


            }).then(function(){}).catch(console.log);
        })
    }
As you can tell, it's a bit of a mix between SS1 and SS2 with the nlapiGetRecordId(). It's going to be a form script ultimately (reacting when someone clicks a button). But this means it's just basically like sticking a script tag on the record... so I can't see why it's refusing to be async.

idk if you've modified that to share it but it looks like the extra closing brace is just a syntax error
m
Hmmm... well... I've tried something a lot more simple too... something like the following:
Copy code
require(['N/record', 'N/search'], function(record, search)
        {
            async function tests(){}
        })
Still fails

oh I thought it was erroring when you try to upload to file cabinet, but it isn't that, its erroring at runtime?
if its not attached to a script record how is it being loaded?
you have a beforeload UE and you're setting it as the client script module path on the context form?
if you are doing the above then you ALSO need a standard client script entry point even though you're not using a client script record.
Copy code
function pageInit(){}
...
async function ()
...
return { pageInit };
might work
I have to ask why not just do this as a 2.1 client script with define instead of require?

@Anthony OConnor It is erroring when I'm uploading to Netsuite, yeah. And yes, I have a beffore load UE and am settting it as the clietn script module path. It's inside a function that is called when a button is pressed.
I could do it as a 2.1 script, yes, just haven't experimented with that yet since I'm so used to attaching it in the 1.0 method. Hopefully will change here sometime though.
a
i had no problem uploading your file into the suitescript folder, I thought it only does that kind of validation if you upload it via the suitescript upload process when you're going through the create new script record process?

If you are using SuiteCloud Development framework check your 
suitecloud.config.js
it may be running pre-deploy linting.
