if ever this doesn’t work, kindly revert back the changes made. Please try doing manual upload if it would temporarily work for you:
- First create the zip to upload the theme to netsuite.
- Inside the local folder of ThemeDevelopmentTools find the folder of the theme to deploy inside /Workspace
- Change the version of the manifest.json file to one larger than the current one
- Generate a zip that contains all the content of the theme folder (assets, Modules, Skins, manifest.json, and all the other files and folders that may be there as well)
- Upload the files to the file cabinet
- Copying the values “vendor”, “name” and “version” from the manifest.json file that is in the zip of the theme to upload and creating the following folder in File Cabinet > SuiteScripts > Deploy_Extensions > [Theme Vendor] > [Theme Name]@[Theme Version]
- Example: If manifest.json shows “vendor”: “SC”, “name”: “Posh”, “version”: “4.0.0”,
- Folder in File Cabinet should be: File Cabinet > SuiteScripts > Deploy_Extensions > SC > Posh@4.0.0
- Inside the new folder created, use the Advanced Add option to add the previously generated zip. (It is possible that the previous version of the theme exists there and it is an aid to verify that the structure of the previous one matches the uploaded zip)
- Copying the values “vendor”, “name” and “version” from the manifest.json file that is in the zip of the theme to upload and creating the following folder in File Cabinet > SuiteScripts > Deploy_Extensions > [Theme Vendor] > [Theme Name]@[Theme Version]
- Create the extension record of the theme.
- Go to Customization > Lists, Records & Fields > Record Types
- Look for SC ExtMech Extension and select “New Record” in the list view
- Fill the mandatory fields using the same values from manifest.json.
- In the MANIFEST field select the manifest.json uploaded previously
- Activate the theme in SCEM UI
- In the Activate Themes and Extensions page, mark the UPDATE checkbox if available.
