Using SuiteCloud Developer Assistant with Cline in WebStorm

SuiteCloud Developer Assistant (SDA) can be used in JetBrains IDEs, including WebStorm, through AI assistant plug-ins that support OpenAI-compatible providers, such as Cline. These plug-ins connect to the local SDA proxy started through SuiteCloud CLI. You can ask SDA to:

• Explain SuiteScript modules

• Generate SuiteQL queries

• Refactor SuiteScript code

• Create script templates

• Help troubleshoot errors

Note:

The tool has been tested in WebStorm using Cline, and this configuration has been validated during testing.

Prerequisites

Before configuring WebStorm and an AI assistant plug-in like Cline, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• Complete the SDA proxy setup and API key generation described in Setting Up SuiteCloud Developer Assistant with Other Third-Party Tools and AI Coding Assistants.

• Install WebStorm. For more information, see Downloading WebStorm.

• Install Cline for WebStorm. To do this, go to the WebStorm Marketplace (Settings > Plug-ins) and search for Cline.

To use SDA with Cline in WebStorm:

1. Go to View > Tool Windows > Cline.

2. Configure a custom OpenAI-compatible provider using the SDA proxy values:

   • Provider: OpenAI-compatible

   • Base URL: http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/internal/devassist

   • API Key: Generated SDA API key. For more information, see Setting Up SuiteCloud Developer Assistant with Other Third-Party Tools and AI Coding Assistants.

   • Model: NetSuite

3. Open your SuiteCloud project.

4. Verify the connection. Open a SuiteScript file and run a prompt such as "Explain this SuiteScript module". If the configuration is successful, the plug-in responds using SDA through the local SDA proxy.
