I’ve been writing a Suitescript Editor that runs as a Suitelet it has an integrated file browser and saves directly to the File Cabinet. I’ve committed a development release to the SuiteSource Repository and made it public for anyone interested in giving it a go.

It’s in the repository called Fernhead Editor, bundle 5852.

As this directly updates files in your Netsuite File Cabinet I’m suggesting you try it out in a Test Drive account before using it on any production accounts.

Who’s it for?Are you sick of constantly uploading script changes through the file cabinet?
Are you interested in an integrated editor that doesn’t dictate how you organize your scripts?
Looking for a quick way to update and maintain scripts, templates and other text files stored in your Netsuite File cabinet?

Install once per Netsuite account just like any other bundle, little or no configuration required.

Is it stable?

FH Edit still has a while to go in terms of development. I probably could have left tabs out of version one. But it definitely works. I’ve used FH Edit to write FH Edit which is a testiment to it’s ability. Hopefully with some community feedback I can polish it up an make useful for a few more people.

I hope you give it a go and welcome any feedback.

What features does this have over and above an development environment set up in Eclipse with Aptana and the Netsuite plugin?

If there are extra features, i’ll give it a go.

RE: FH Edit a Native Netsuite Javascript Editor

The main benefit is being able to directly edit any file in your file cabinet directly from the browser with no additional software installing and no lag time/flow interrupts with uploads.

So if you have a fully configured Eclipse+Aptana+NS Plugin environment setup this doesn’t compete at an IDE feature level.

RE: FH Edit a Native Netsuite Javascript Editor

That sounds great. I will give it a try.

I do have plenty of situations where I upload a script and then realize something that needs to be changed or see a small improvement need… and this would make life easier.

RE: FH Edit a Native Netsuite Javascript Editor

I’ve noticed it’s pretty broken in ie (all versions) I’ve only got limited ie testing capacity and it seems to be more related to the Javascript rather than typical rendering/css issues. I’ll add it too my bug list.

But FF and webkit are working fine.

Hello James,

Very impressive! I installed it in Firefox and it seems to work fine there.

Quick suggestion (and I will be sending you more feedback later on) though: you should expose a task link for the Suitelet to make it a bit easier to find

Thanks,

Yang

Cheers Yang,

I live in Suitescript deployments so I had glanced over how you laucnh them. I’m struggling figuring out how I can expose a task link. Do I need to add a whole top level tab? That’s a bit intrusive isn’t it?

I launch my common suitelets from Home > Shortcuts anyway I can put these into a bundle?

The easiest way to do this would be from the links tab on the script deployment. You would then select the center and tab you want the link to appear in.

Pick Classic Center>Setup for example if you want this link to show up for the default admin role under the setup tab. By default they are lumped into a new category called “Custom”.

Thanks,

Yang
