Trouble accessing feature layer in WAB (DE)

JoelPerkins

I'm having a little trouble accessing my feature layer in the Web Appbuilder app. If I did the following outside of WAB, just in a testing JS 3.x environment, it would work. 

<script>

 var myFL = new FeatureLayer("https://blahblah/MapServer/6", {

 mode: FeatureLayer.MODE_AUTO,

 outFields: "",

 id: "myParcels"

 })

 map.addLayer(myFL);

 myFL.on("click", function (evt) {

 var geom = evt.graphic.geometry;

 console.log(geom)

</script>

But in WAB, myFL already exists in there, so if I do map.addLayer(myFL), it's adding it a second time, but that's the only way I can successfully return anything on a click event. 

If I do the following in WAB, not adding the layer (because it's already in the map and I don't want it twice), I can't return anything on the click event. I'm not sure what I'm missing that I can't return anything?? I feel like I've tried everything to access this layer, I've tried map.getLayer(id), and that didn't work. Not sure why it isn't working...

<script>

{

 return declare(BaseWidget, {

//Derive from BaseWidget.

  baseClass: 'jimu-widget-myWidget',

  isActive: true,

  startup: function() {

  this.inherited(arguments);

  this.myFL = new FeatureLayer('https://blahblah/MapServer/6',{

  outFields: ["*"]})

},

  onOpen: function(){

  this.myFL.on('click', function(evt){

  var geom = evt.graphic.geometry;

  console.log(geom)

  })

 } 

 });

 });

</script>

Joel,

ConstructionSvcs_scratch_6492_6 means that the layer is a sub layer of a ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer so though the layer is added to the map an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer sublayer is not an actual layer that can have a click event. An ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer is just an image returned from the server and thus no actual geometry is returned to the client that could be used for a click event.  You need to add the layer as a Feature layer so that the client is getting actual geometries returned to it.
