Why does my SuiteScript fail with a RCRD_DSNT_EXIST error
I have a relatively simple script to delete all the quotes found by a particular search:
function executeSavedSearch(){ var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord('estimate', 1234, null, null); for (var i = 0; searchresults != null && i < searchresults.length; i++) { try { nlapiLogExecution("Debug", "About to delete record id " + id); nlapiDeleteRecord(searchresults[i].getRecordType(), searchresults[i].getId()); } catch (err) { var errMessage = err; if(err instanceof nlobjError) { errMessage = errMessage + ' ' + err.getDetails() + ' ' + 'Failed to Delete ID : ' + id; } nlapiLogExecution('ERROR', 'Error', errMessage); return err } }}The problem is that it always fails with a RCRD_DSNT_EXIST error. I put in some debugging, and the ID of the record it first tries to delete is actually valid; more, it does actually delete it. But it throws an error anyway.
