dependencies not being picked up in manifest file

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** The issue of dependencies not being picked up in the manifest file can occur due to several reasons. Here are some potential solutions based on the conversations: 1. Incorrect Importing of Dependencies: Ensure that you are importing your dependencies correctly. In one of the threads, a user mentioned that they were importing the dependency as

filename.js

in one file and

filename

in others. This inconsistency seemed to throw NetSuite off. Removing the

.js

resolved the issue. 2. Order of Objects in deploy.xml: The order in which objects are listed in the

deploy.xml

file can affect whether dependencies are picked up correctly. If you're encountering issues, try moving the "missing dependency" to the top of the list. 3. Handling of Circular Dependencies: NetSuite might have issues handling circular dependencies. If you're encountering an error when uploading a Map/Reduce via Webstorm, try to isolate the issue to the dependencies. If adding both dependencies causes an error, but adding either one of the two does not, you might be dealing with a circular dependency issue. 4. Missing Dependencies in Target Account: If you're getting an error that says the manifest contains a dependency on a certain object, but it is not in the account, it could be that the object does not exist in the target account. You might need to push the object only to the target account and revalidate. 5. Inactive Fields: Check if the field is inactive. Inactive fields might cause dependency errors. Remember, these are potential solutions based on previous conversations and might not apply to your specific situation.
