Bug description
When trying to get the current environment, or set a new environment, account:setup always triggers the interactive interface making programatic tasks impossible. There's no way to confirm which environment the user is connected to, nor to change it.
Steps To Reproduce
suitecloud account:setup
Actual Output
? Select or create an authentication ID (a custom alias you give to a specific account-role combination): ***The authentication ID that you select or create will be set up as default. (Use arrow keys) ❯ Create a new authentication ID. ────────────── Select a configured authentication ID: etc.
Expected Output
The currently selected authentication ID.
Anything else?
This makes building safe scripts inviable, we're at risk of a user running scripts against production unintentionally.
Hi @ricardoavelocity,
Can you please give more details how you are trying to set up the environment so that we can have a better understanding of your use case?
Hey Antonio,
We're trying to create a script that compares the files in the local git repository to the files in NetSuite production prior to a deploy, to avoid accidental overwrites of code changes done through other channels other than the repository. We plan on running the script in local dev machines (Mac and PC), using node as the runtime. We would also like to eventually apply continuous deployment and have this step done from within a runner in Gitlab.
Thank you

So just to understand. Your need is that, As a user, you should be able to run account:setup command non-interactively. And by running that command you should be able to see your currently set authid (the default account) for the project, and also should be able to change it non-interactively?
FYI: You can programatically check the current authid (account set for the project), in project.json file, and also you can write a script to change the authid in that file.
Correct! I did notice after opening the issue that it was as simple as changing the JSON file by looking at the code. I'm calling pieces of the SDK directly since there's no CLI command for them.
So I'm using getProjectDefaultAuthId to get the value I need. If it could receive CLI access it'd be great. Or make the SDK an npm package that we can use from inside node.js? A node API wouldn't be bad either :)
And I improved this code to preserve any other content in the project.json file:
function setDefaultAuthentication(projectFolder, authId) { try {
// it now preserves other configuration values, it doesn't in
the original SDK file const projectConfiguration =FileUtils.readAsJson(path.join(projectFolder, FILES.PROJECT_JSON)); projectConfiguration[DEFAULT_AUTH_ID_PROPERTY] = authId;
FileUtils.create(path.join(projectFolder, FILES.PROJECT_JSON),
projectConfiguration);
} catch (error) {
const errorMessage = error != null ? error.message : '';
throw new Error(Error writing project.json: ${errorMessage});
}
}
What I'm really looking for is the type of account. If there would be a JSON output flag for --info, it'd also be great.
async function getAccountType() {
const currentAuthId = getProjectDefaultAuthId('.');
const manageAuthResult = await exec(suitecloud account:manageauth --info ${currentAuthId});
/** @type {AccountInfo} */
const authConfigInfo = manageAuthResult.stdout
.toString()
.trim()
.replace('\x1B[2K\x1B[1G', '')
.split('\n')
.reduce((acc, item) => {
const index = item.indexOf(':');
const key = item.substring(0, index).replace(' ', '');
acc[key] = item.substring(index + 1).trim();
return acc;
}, {});
if (verbose) console.log(JSON.stringify(authConfigInfo, null, 2));
return authConfigInfo.AccountType;
}
/**
- @typedef {Object} AccountInfo
- @property {string} AuthenticationID - The authentication ID.
- @property {string} AccountName - The name of the account.
- @property {string} AccountID - The ID of the account.
- @property {string} Role - The role associated with the account.
- @property {string} Domain - The domain of the account.
- @property {string} AccountType - The type of the account. */
Finally I check if it's production, which is what I need from the SDK. After that I'm importing files from production to confirm my repo is still in sync and I won't be overwriting any changes made directly to prod by other means.
const accountType = await getAccountType();
if (accountType !== 'Production') {
throw new Error(Account type is ${accountType}; expected Production);
} else {
console.info('Account type is Production; continuing...');
}
Cheers!
