I'm trying to style my graphicsLayer with css instead of a custom renderer. The problem is that the GraphicsLayer with styling = false and adds points as svg path instead of circles. These paths are very small and not stylable. I was wondering why the GraphicsLayer doesn't add circle elements to the map if styling is set to false. The workaround that I see is that I could set styling to true and still provide styling with css, but then I also need a custom renderer. So, can I enforce GraphicsLayer to add points as svg circle? (To clarify, I have multiple geometry types on the graphicslayer. Otherwise I could just set the default symbol to be a circle, but because I also have lines and polygons I cannot use this solution.) ... View more

I am currently using karma with karma-dojo (https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-dojo) as unit test suite for my esri code. I was wondering if and how it is possible to mock esri objects. ... View more

When running this code in 3.9: var l = new GraphicsLayer(null) In 3.9 you get this error: TypeError {stack: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'plugins' of undef???esolve (http://js.arcgis.com/3.9/init.js:197:441)", message: "Cannot read property 'plugins' of undefined"} "TypeError: Cannot read property 'plugins' of undefined     at http://js.arcgis.com/3.9/init.js:1005:336     at Object.some (http://js.arcgis.com/3.9/init.js:224:133)     at g._pluginsHandler (http://js.arcgis.com/3.9/init.js:1005:305)     at h.(anonymous function).g (http://js.arcgis.com/3.9/init.js:239:390)     at new <anonymous> (http://js.arcgis.com/3.9/init.js:105:288) In 3.8 this worked just fine.

Hi, On ArcGIS10.1 trying to use the ArcGIS Rest admin api, when I want to create a new site with "createNewSite" (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/server-admin-api/createSite.html). I get the following error when using an UNC path for a "CACHE" directory's physicalPath: Failed to create the site. String index out of range: -1 I tried to write it as: "\\\\UNC\\PATH" "\\UNC\PATH" but neither work. Using a local directory works just fine. It's not a problem with the directory not being available because I can use "register" (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/server-admin-api/registerDirectory.html) to register the directory and then it works just fine. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? ... View more

I have a problem with the ArcGIS Javascript API on android. (it could be linked with the problem I described  in a previous post (see here) but I don't believe this is the case, however I'm not sure so I'm linking the issue) The problem occurs on android 4.2.2 with the Chrome browser. After some navigation interaction (pinching, swiping, dragging,...) with the map I sometimes get the following error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'identifier' of undefined It's rather hard to debug the minified javascript code so I formatted it (http://jsbeautifier.org/) and ran it through a debugger to find out what the problem was. In the function _touchMove: if (this._numTouches === 2) {     var _ba1 = this._nodeTouches[0],          _ba2 = this._nodeTouches[1];     if (!this._pinchActive) {        if (_b9f) {           var _ba3 = _b9d[_ba1.identifier],                _ba4 = _b9d[_ba2.identifier], .... The error is on the line _ba4 = _b9d[_ba2.identifier]. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'identifier' of undefined and undifend is _ba2. The problem is that this._numTouches === 2 but _this._nodeTouches.length === 1 After debugging some more I found out that the problem must be with the _addTouch and _removeTouch method. I believe that _removeTouch is not always called but It's hard to confirm this. I've detected this by logging _this.numTouches. The behaviour I got was that touching with multiple fingers (more then 3 for example) and then lifting them again, _this.numTouches didn't always go down to 0. As a fix for my own, I did this: _addTouch: function (_bc4) {   var i, _bc5 = _bc4.changedTouches,          _bc6 = this._nodeTouches;   this._numTouches = _bc4.touches.length;   //this._numTouches += _bc5.length;   ... } So instead of using _bc4.changedTouches.length I use _bc4.touches.length (likewise in _removeTouch). Are there any reasons changedTouches is used instead of touches? Some follow up questions: Is there any chance you will post your de-uglified API online? Maybe even make the API available on github? Is this forum the right place to ask these kind of questions? This looks like a bug to me. ... View more

Hi, I've got a question about building a mobile application with the ArcGIS JS API (3.4 compact) and AngularJS (http://angularjs.org/ - a javascript framework for building web applications). The application we are developping is a single page app where you can switch between views. A very simple sample can be found here: http://plnkr.co/edit/LKAyLwV69EQqgLl5LzEx?p=preview. The problem we are experiencing is that after switching between views the ArcGIS Map doesn't always render again correctly (goes blank - sometimes the zoomSlider is not visible also). As far as we have found the problems Open the map Switch to an other view (map is not visible) Open the mobile keyboard (div resize) Switch back to the map (map is reattached to the div) -> the map doesn't render. By catching the updateExtent event, I can see that the extent gets set to NaN, but manually calling setExtent with a correct extent doesn't work either. The current solution use Angular ngView (like in the example). As far as I can tell this completely removes the div from the DOM. The div is still available through esri.map.container and I use this div to reattach the existing div to the DOM. I've also tried to hide the map by setting display:none to the map div but this results in simular problems. How do I solve this problem? Possible solutions: Add a new map every time with new esri.map (expensive to set all the state again - so I don't like this solution) Is it possible to update the div (element esri.map.id) after switching tabs? Is it possible to do something like esri.dijit.OverviewMap.hide and .show? Can I pause the map, so that I pause the map before switching away from the map, and enable it again after I have switched back (pausing would be to stop all events from propagating to the map). Other possibilities? ... View more
