Arcade negative Buffer returns null

Jan62

I am trying to create a negative Buffer in Arcade to query features inside, as it was possible in older versions (2022). When I execute it noch for example in the Arcade Playground "null" is returned instead of a shrink polygon.

To reproduce open the Arcade Playground https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/playground/  and insert

 

var poly = Polygon(
  {
    rings: [
      [
        Point(
          {
            x: -97.06138,
            y: 32.837,
            z: 100,
            hasZ: true,
            spatialReference: { wkid: 3857 }
          }
        ),
        Point(
          {
            x: -97.06133,
            y: 32.836,
            z: 50,
            hasZ: true,
            spatialReference: { wkid: 3857 }
          }
        ),
        Point(
          {
            x: -97.06124,
            y: 32.834,
            z: 20,
            hasZ: true,
            spatialReference: { wkid: 3857 }
          }
        ),
        Point(
          {
            x: -97.06127,
            y: 32.832,
            z: 0,
            hasZ: true,
            spatialReference: { wkid: 3857 }
          }
        )
      ]
    ],
    hasZ: true,
    spatialReference: { wkid: 3857 }
  }
);

Buffer(poly, -10) //return null
//BufferGeodetic(poly, -10) //return null

 

 Is this a bug or intention?

then the buffer size is too large relative to the size of the polygon (eg. bigger than its extent)
