'folders' key error on ServicesDirectory at ArcGIS API 1.4

ecl_holmes_b

I've been trying to access the REST endpoint using the ArcGIS API for Python 1.4

When using any ServicesDirectory method which mentions folders, I get the key error seen here.

key error in ServicesDirectory

Any chance that could be fixed?

Has anyone found a workaround for this? I can confirm that [server].content.folders and [server].services both throw KeyErrors when run against Server 11.2, however, they appear to work against older Server 10.7. Here, the server object is a standalone server.

I am able to reproduce the problem in version 2.2.0.2 of the Python API with the following code. I have replaced my server's fully-qualified domain name with "www.example.net".

from arcgis.gis import server
import getpass

server_base_url = "https://www.example.net:6443"

username=input("What is your AGS username?")
password = getpass.getpass(prompt=f"What is your ArcGIS Server password at {server_base_url}?")

result = server.Server(url=server_base_url, username=username, password=password, all_ssl=True, initialize=True)

result.content

result.content.folders

I experienced the same error and found that the methods and properties of ServicesDirectory didn't work with a url from Server 10.4 was used. BUT It worked with a url from 10.6. Could this be a bug Atma Mani ? Is ArcGIS API for Python only for versions > 10.5?

Phil Larkin‌, Ben Holmes‌ since the objective is to get a list of `Service` objects in each folder, please refer to the doc here: Managing your GIS servers | ArcGIS for Developers In short below should work in version `1.4.1`

Ben Holmes‌ Have you found a resolution for this? I've experienced it from v1.2.3 - 1.4.1.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for the response.

Sorry for my lack of clarity. The URLs were okay, I just left them out as they are internal.

My objective was to get lists of services in a folder on the server and then gather some further information on them.

I thought the ServicesDirectory.list(folder="abc") method looked like an easy method in the API docs.

But any reference to 'folder' in any ServicesDirectory methods throws an error. That seems to have been around for a few versions.

I did remove the connection through the federated "gis" connection as you suggested though.

Regards

Ben

Ben,

Since I can't see your URLs, I'm going to assume that is the issue.

url = "http://mysite.com/server" # So it's net location / web adapter
gis = GIS(url="http://mysite.com/portal", username="******", password='*******')
sd = ServicesDirectory(url=url, portal_connection=gis)

Even though this will work, accessing a server this way is not recommended. You would go through your GIS object instead since your site is federated.

myservers = gis.admin.servers.list()

It will return an array of server objects.
