Publish and overwrite web layers in ModelBuilder

jennahlers

I am trying to create a phyton script to create a geoprocessing tool to Publish and overwrite web layers within ModelBuilder. I am referring to the instructions within this blog post:

https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/publish-and-overwrite-web-layers-in-modelbuilder/

The issue that I’m having is the script provided in the link above contains the input “map” and what I would like to select is an input “layer” in the content pane.

Jonah Lay has provided sample code within the comments of the blog post here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/sharing/featuresharingdraft-class.htm#GUID-8E27A3ED-A705-4ACF-8C7D-AA861327AD26

The issue is when I try to use that code I continue to receive errors. Is there someone that could help debug this issue? I have zero coding experience.

NameError: name 'layer' is not defined

You don't define what 'layer' is in your inputs to the tool

# ---  Where is 'layer' ???? ----

Thanks @AlfredBaldenweck , you've identified I wasn't using the correct sample code. (I'm trying to overwrite a weblayer) I've attached the new code and fixed the code that wasn't in line. I've also attached my new error but I'm feeling the solution is around specifying the layers I want. I'm just not sure what line I need to add that code into?

Oops, I published that before I should have.

Make sure when creating that draft that you specify the layer(s) you want.

sharing_draft = m.getWebLayerSharingDraft(server_type, "MAP_IMAGE", service, [selected_layer])

You should also make sure that that's actually the layer you want to use; right now you're just grabbing the top layer. If you specify by name, you should be able to grab exactly the right one.

selected_layer = m.listLayers("Grazing Allotments 2023")[0]

Also, you're specifying a Map Image. Is that the type of service you want?

AlfredBaldenweck

That's an easy fix so far.

Basically that line (#13) is out of line with what's around it. Make it line up with lines 12 and 14 and that particular error will go away.

Python recognizes things like loops or parts of functions by the indentation.

def funct():
    # Everything spaced here belongs to funct
#This is a different thing
def funct3():
    # This belongs to funct3
    exList = [1,2,3]
    for e in exList:
        # Everything in here belongs to this loop
    # Then when that's done, I can continue on with what I was doing

Depending on what you're writing in (example Notepad++), there should be a setting to show you indentation lines/ white spaces.

It would be helpful if you posted what code you're using, (see formatting guide here) as well as your error messages.
