Error handling

-----Validation failed--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An error occurred during custom object validation. (customscript_scriptinternalid)
Details: The file reference /SuiteScripts/Project_Name/ScriptFileName.js is missing in the project and also not included in the dependencies list.
File: ~/Objects/customscript_ScriptFileName.xml

1. Upload Files(Deploy files)

2. Deploy Script Records

2.1 Update manifest.xml to enable the dependency for all files section(see Sample for manifest.xml above), MODIFY it to add depenency objects, sometime it's <objects> custom objects(transaction body fields, line item fields or custom entity fields, record types, etc), sometimes it's <files>, add detail referenced files to this section when validation message is error out.

2.2 Update deploy.xml to enable the specific objects section ONLY. It will helps isolate.

2.3 suitecloud project:deploy
