Dependencies to the Manifest in SDF for Visual Studio

To specify dependencies on existing objects, files, and scripts from your NetSuite accounts within an account customization project or on objects in a SuiteApp, external to your SuiteCloud project (provided they are supported by SDF), you need to manage these dependencies within your SuiteCloud extension for Visual Studio Code. This is crucial when working with NetSuite features like SuiteScript or custom records. To add dependencies to the manifest file, follow these steps:

1. Launch Visual Studio Code.
2. Access the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
3. In the Command Palette, type “suitecloud.”
4. Choose “SuiteCloud: Add Dependency References to the Manifest” from the list of available options.
5. If your project contains any missing dependency references, they will be automatically included in the manifest.xml file.

Here’s a quick reference for adding dependencies using keyboard shortcuts:

• On Linux, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+A.
• On Mac OS, press Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+A.
• On Windows, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+A.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage and update the dependencies in your SuiteCloud project, ensuring smooth integration with NetSuite features and maintaining the integrity of your customization efforts.
