Military Tools Widget deployment to 10.5.1 Portal

BenBerghauser1

Hi all,

We've deployed Military Tools 2.0 Widgets to our 10.5.1 Portal and cannot get the Visibility one to work.

CoordinateConversion and DistanceAndDirection work perfectly in Web App Builder (Default) however when selecting the Visibility Widget, once you hit Ok, we just get a spinning 'loading' icon in the middle of the dialog box forever. The dialog boxis called 'Configure Visibility'.

This is obviously before we get the chance to nominate the GP Service.

How do we go about troubleshooting this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Ben,

To help isolate the issue could you please specify which browser you are using and if you know how to debug the browser (normally by hitting F12) are you getting any errors in the console window?

Ben,

Above you stated that you have deployed Military Tools 2.0 Widgets to your 10.5.1 Portal and you are not having luck with the Visibility widget. Have you tried the Visibility widget inside of Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition)? If this is not how you deployed the widget could you please share your workflow so I can better trouble shoot the problem?

Also, if you did not use Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) could you attempt that as well to see if you get the same results? Here is a link that will walk you thru the steps:

Configure Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS Developer Edition

The guide uses an online organization; however, you should be able to use the same steps with your portal.

Hope this helps find the root of the problem

Thanks

Hi Anthony, thanks for the reply. I'm on FF45

I've had a look and the first thing I noticed was the console complaining that the config.js file had a premature end. That file is blank in version 1.1 and 2.0 so I threw the text from version 1.0 into it and it got past that.

Now it's stuck on /apps/webappbuilder/stemapp/jimu.js/serviceBrowserRuleUtils.js which is coming back with a '404 Not Found' response. This I think is resulting in a scriptError...something about injectUrl in init.js of the jsapi.

I've tried to put the GP Service URL in the config.js but that doesn't solve it either.

Does that help any?

Hi Lyle,

In this scenario, we're trying not to use Developer Edition to deploy 'out-of-the-box' widgets into the production environment. We upgraded to 10.5.1 specifically to add the Military Tools custom widgets to the standard edition of the Web App Builder.

In order to deploy it we have;

- Hosted the widgets folder on our Portal web server (https://portal.domain/widgets/Visibility/)

- Added an 'Application Extension (App Builder) item in Portal: https://portal.domain/widgets/Visibility/manifest.json

- Shared the item with the organisation

As I said, this worked fine with both the Distance and Bearing and the Coordinate Conversion widgets...something specific to the visibility widget isn't quite there.

thanks

Ben,

When you say the config.js is blank do you mean empty? Before the widget is configured the config.js will be just a pair of braces '{}'.

When you configure the widget the config will be saved as:

{
"taskUrl": "rest endpoint of visibility gpservice"
}

You could try and change the config.js to this and see if you can get past the loading screen

Ben,

Not having a 10.5.1 build to test on I tried adding the widget into the in built web appbuilder within portal 10.4.1, and I am experiencing the same issue of the widget not loading. After inspection of the network traffic I can see that some files that the configuration needs are not in the built in web appbuilder.

If your portal has been installed to the standard directories have a look in:

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Portal\apps\webappbuilder\stemapp\jimu.js\dijit

on 10.4.1 there is just a single folder called SymbolsInfo

yet in the same directory in web appbuilder developer contains, 105 items:

The parent folder tells a similar story (left portal, right web appbuilder developer):

As a test I copied over the missing files from the developer edition to portal, refreshed the browser and everything worked OK. I am not sure why the two environments differ so much in terms of the files contained within, maybe somebody from the web appbuilder team can explain (dlaw-esristaff‌ junshan_liu-esristaff‌)

I think your best bet to get the widget working is to manually create the config file with the parameter I mentioned above and ignore the settings screen.

Regards

Anthony

Ah yes. The file was empty when I looked at it, not {}.

I'll try adding the task url to it tomorrow. Hopefully that will mean it doesn't have the dependency on the files that aren't there (although I haven't checked, the 404 not found error kind of points that way)

Thanks for the quick response.

Ben.
