Creating a SuiteCloud Project in SuiteCloud Extension for Visual Studio Code

You can create a SuiteCloud project to develop SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) Account Customization Projects and SuiteApps, for internal use within your organization or for commercial distribution. SuiteCloud projects are file-based and use XML definitions of SDF custom objects.

To learn more about the SuiteCloud project types, see:

To create a SuiteCloud project:

  1. In VS Code, open the Command Palette and type suitecloud.

    From the dropdown list, pick SuiteCloud: Create Project.

  2. Pick the parent folder for your new SuiteCloud project, and then click Select Folder.

    Note:

    You can select the same parent folder for different SuiteCloud projects, since each one is created in its own subfolder. Also, don't create a SuiteCloud project inside another SuiteCloud project's subfolder.

  3. In the Command Palette, pick the type of project you want to create. For example, SuiteApp Project.

  4. Enter a name for your new SuiteCloud project and press Enter. For example currency.

  5. Enter a version for your project and press Enter. You'll need a project version, publisher ID, and project ID when creating projects of SuiteApp type.

    Project versions use semantic versioning. For example, if your SuiteApp is version 1.02, minor revision #01242017, you'd enter the project version as:

                    1.02.01242016 
    
                  
  6. Choose whether you want to include unit testing with the Jest testing framework by picking Yes or No.

    The SuiteCloud project is created for you, and you can see the status in the Output tab. When the SuiteCloud project is created, you can choose to open the project in This Window or a New Window. If there's already a SuiteCloud project open, picking This Window closes it and opens your new one.
