Query FeatureLayer with Definition Expression

JeremyLyman

I'm trying to run a queryExtent() on a FeatureLayer that has a Definition Expression applied, but it seems to ignore the Definition Expression when query.where is given. I'm trying to zoom to the selected states, but not AK/HI because there are inset maps for those.

var mydefinitionExpression = makeStateQuery();
const layer = new FeatureLayer({
 url: url,
 definitionExpression: mydefinitionExpression,
});

layer.when(function(){
   var query = layer.createQuery();
   query.where = "(StateFIPSN <> 02 AND StateFIPSN <> 15)";
   return layer.queryExtent(query);
})
.then(function(response){
   view.goTo({
      target:response.extent,
      duration:500
   });
});

It seems like I should be able to use both where and defEx, but the extent returned indicates that it's one or the other.  Am I missing something?

Sounds like you want to get the query object from the createQuery() method of the layer to honor its current configuration.
