new Polyline() creates an object of type feature

Question

I'm trying to add a simple polyline to my map. I have the following code var tempGraphicsLayer = new GraphicsLayer(); var updateGraphic; geo_map = new Map({ basemap: "dark-gray-vector", layers: [tempGraphicsLayer] }); var polylineSymbol = { type: "simple-line", color: "#8A2BE2", width: "4", style: "dash" }; geometry = new Polyline([[1099167.9988136857, 7769842.112602921], [1103372.0353693648, 7770319.844029703], [1101461.1096622378, 7767109.48884173]]); var graphic = new Graphic({ geometry: geometry, symbol: polylineSymbol }); tempGraphicsLayer.add(graphic);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ When I run this code, I get the following error: Invalid property value, value needs to be one of 'esri.geometry.Extent', 'esri.geometry.Multipoint', 'esri.geometry.Point', 'esri.geometry.Polyline', 'esri.geometry.Polygon', 'esri.geometry.Mesh', or a plain object that can auto-cast (having .type = 'extent', 'multipoint', 'point', 'polyline', 'polygon', 'mesh') Upon inspection, this is because the object produced by 'new Polyline()' is in fact of type "feature" - how can I add a simple polyline like this?

Are you using 4.x? This works in the graphics sample var polyline = new Polyline({ paths: [ [1099167.9988136857, 7769842.112602921], [1103372.0353693648, 7770319.844029703], [1101461.1096622378, 7767109.48884173] ], spatialReference: 3857 });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ As does this (with auto-casting) var polyline = { type: "polyline", paths: [ [1099167.9988136857, 7769842.112602921], [1103372.0353693648, 7770319.844029703], [1101461.1096622378, 7767109.48884173] ], spatialReference: 3857 };‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
