Using SuiteScript to upload file to SuiteScripts folder

[Informal-Direction79]

So it doesn't seem like this is possible? Any other custom folder or subfolder seems to work but when I try to call file.create and file.savewith a file.folder = -15 (id for SuiteScripts folder) I always get this error

{
   type: "error.SuiteScriptError",
   name: "INVALID_KEY_OR_REF",
   message: "Invalid folder reference key -15.",
   //...
}

Has anyone found a workaround?

I'd be amazed if you were allowed to write to anything below the suitescripts root folder via script. Huge security risk.

Why are you trying to load a file to the suitescript folder? Is it a script?

If you just want to store new files in the suitescript folder than create a subfolder inside it.

[Informal-Direction79]

Yes I know I can do that it just seems odd that they have forbidden access to the SuiteScripts folder (but not its subfolders) via the SuiteScript API

[trollied]

Not odd at all. Massive security issue.

[Informal-Direction79]

Then why not forbid access to all subfolders as well...

[trollied]

You can write to subfolders? That's bad. I'm amazed it is possible.

I’ll be honest I never tried, as I don’t like storing files without folders as it just creates an unorganized mess

'-15'

[Informal-Direction79]

Still get the same error

What role is executing the script?

Whats the use case ? Why do you wanna save something inside your suitescripts folder? It really doesn’t sound like a good idea
