SuiteScriptError Object Members for Effective Error Handling
SuiteScriptError members provide crucial error handling options for SuiteScript users, enhancing script debugging and execution control.
The SuiteScriptError object members facilitate robust error handling in SuiteScript by providing detailed information on errors encountered during script execution. These object members are instrumental when utilizing the N/error module to manage exceptions effectively within your SuiteScript applications.
Overview of SuiteScriptError Object Members
The SuiteScriptError object includes several key members that can help developers understand and manage errors in their scripts. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
| Member Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
SuiteScriptError.cause | string (read-only) | Describes the cause of the error encountered. |
SuiteScriptError.id | string (read-only) | Unique error ID automatically generated when a new error is created. |
SuiteScriptError.message | string (read-only) | The error message displayed in the execution log. This is set by the options.message parameter. |
SuiteScriptError.name | string (read-only) | The error name or code which can be provided via the options.name parameter during error creation. |
SuiteScriptError.notifyOff | boolean (read-only) | This property suppresses email notifications for the error if set to true. |
SuiteScriptError.stack | Array of strings (read-only) | Contains a list of method calls that are active when the error occurs, useful for debugging. |
SuiteScriptError.type | error.Type (read-only) | Indicates the specific type of error (inherited from the error module). |
Implementing SuiteScriptError
To effectively handle and log errors, you can leverage the N/error module along with the SuiteScriptError members in your code. Here’s a simple example:
1require(['N/error'], function(error) {2 try {3 // Code that may throw an error4 } catch (e) {5 var suiteError = error.create({6 name: 'CUSTOM_ERROR',7 message: 'An error occurred',8 notifyOff: true9 });10 log.error({title: suiteError.name, details: suiteError.message});11 }12});Why SuiteScriptError Matters
Using the SuiteScriptError object members allows you to create detailed error reports that improve debugging processes. By customizing the error attributes, you can effectively communicate issues within your scripts and streamline your troubleshooting efforts.
