Solve Your Endless Loop Concern in SuiteScript 2.0

Are you facing a challenge with item receipt processing in SuiteScript 2.0? Many developers encounter a common issue: an endless loop that results in execution time errors. If you find yourself logging only a few iterations while expecting more, allow us to help you untangle this. Let’s dive into the problem and explore a structured solution step by step.

The Problem: Endless Loop

In your SuiteScript, you might find that you’re running into an execution time error due to an infinite loop. An example from your code shows that even with count = 5, you're only logging values for i = 1 and i = 2. What’s going wrong here?

The Cause

The culprit of this issue lies in how you've defined the loop control variable. In your nested loop, you reused the variable i, leading to conflicts between the outer and inner loops. This can confuse the script and prevent it from functioning correctly.

The Solution: Change the Variable Name

To resolve the issue, we need to simply change the control variable in your inner loop to something unique. This will help the JavaScript interpreter distinguish between the nested loops, thus preventing the infinite loop scenario. Here’s the revised version:

Conclusion

By simply changing the control variable name from i to j in your nested loop, you can eliminate the unintended behavior that causes your script to loop endlessly. This change not only solves your immediate problem but also helps maintain cleaner and more readable code.
