This article is relevant if you are developing SuiteScript on NetSuite’s platform and you are noticing issues with your latest server-side code not executing.
Resolving NetSuite Application Caching while Developing SuiteScript
When working with NetSuite anonymous SuiteLets and Restlets, you may notice that your latest code is not getting executed. This can be frustrating. To get through this, you need to remove your local machine cookies to the site URL which is invoking the server side code. The caching issue appears to happen primarily with NetSuite Anonymous SuiteLets or RestLets.
Recommended Application Development Tool to Facilitate Clearing Local Browser Cache
There are many browser tools to help you develop web applications. I develop using Google Chrome. I have installed a handy Chrome Extension, “Clear Cache“, that allows me to quickly clear selected cached information. See screenshot below for the options I have on for my browser.
Note, when developing client side SuiteScripts, the same issue may apply. In this case, it is not the cookies; the concern is to get the latest code down to the browser; hence you need to clear the local browser cache.
While on the matter, my favorite REST based Google Browser development tool is “PostMan“.
