SuiteScript Debugger Overview
SuiteScript offers a script debugger for SuiteScript 1.0, SuiteScript 2.0, and SuiteScript 2.1 server scripts, core plug-in implementations, and on-demand debugging.
You can't use the SuiteScript Debugger to debug SuiteScript 2.1 scripts. You can still test critical parts of your script in the SuiteScript Debugger as a SuiteScript 2.0 script before you run the script as a SuiteScript 2.1 script. For more information about SuiteScript 2.1, see SuiteScript 2.1.
You can debug SuiteScript 2.1 scripts with the new 2.1 Script Debugger. This debugger uses Chrome DevTools directly within NetSuite so you can debug scripts much like you would in Google Chrome.
You can't debug client scripts with the SuiteScript Debugger, but you can use your browser's tools. To debug client scripts, use the Chrome DevTools for Chrome and the Firebug debugger for Firefox. For more information, see your browser's documentation.
Currently, only one script can be debugged at a time in a given debug session, regardless of the version of the script.
The following table shows which server script types are supported in each debugger. On-demand debugging is also supported. Client scripts are debugged on the client browser.
