Missing value for required property 'x' on 'esri.geometry.Point'

GeraldRowe

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting the error in the title using the code below? I'm about at my wits end with Esri. I literally copied the simplest example of creating a graphic and placing it on a map that I can find and it still doesn't work. Anytime I try to create a point, it throws this exception. It works fine(no exception) if I add "x: 0, y: 0" to the point geometry, but then I get a Point somewhere in the Atlantic somewhere near Africa; presumably because the easting/northing values are 0. It just seems to ignore the geo coordinates. I need to use only lat/lon values.

 

const simpleMarkerSymbol = {
type: "simple-marker",
color: [255, 0, 0],
outline: { color: [255, 255, 255], width: 0 }
};

const pointGraphic = new Graphic(
{
geometry: { type: "point", longitude: location.lon, latitude: location.lat },
symbol: simpleMarkerSymbol
}
);

graphicsLayer.add(pointGraphic);

 

Yes the map, layers, etc are all running fine and the lat/lon values are verified present and sane. It's just the Point that doesn't show because of the above exception.

Have you tried specifying the "x" and "y" properties instead of "latitude" and "longitude"?  The error message suggests this might solve the problem.  For example:

geometry: { type: "point", x: location.lon, y: location.lat },

 

The default spatial reference when not explicitly specified is WGS 84, so I would expect this to work.
