Are you encountering an “Unexpected Error” while working on a SuiteScript in NetSuite? One common message that may appear is:
“Missing ; before statement.”
This error can be frustrating and often difficult to interpret. One possible cause might be using an incorrect NApiVersion.(Like you use 2.0 but with ()=> syntax).
Check Your NApiVersion
Ensure that you declare the NApiVersion at the top of your SuiteScript file using the JSDoc format. This declaration specifies the API version the script is compatible with.
For more information, you can refer to the official documentation.
Differences Between SuiteScript 2.0 and 2.1
NetSuite offers two major versions of SuiteScript—2.0 and 2.1. Understanding the differences between them can help avoid compatibility issues. For a detailed comparison, check the official guide here.
Resolving the Error
Make sure your script follows the syntax rules for the specified NApiVersion. After correcting any version or syntax mismatches, the error should be resolved.
If the error persists, further review of your script may be necessary to identify other potential issues.
