Group layers not working in js version 4.8

JeffSauder — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 13:47:45 GMT

After I upgraded to 4.8 I noticed that the group layers do not work anymore. They do not draw and can no longer be turned on/off individually. The layers are grouped in the REST service, and previous to 4.8 they always worked ok. I just went back to 4.7 for now, but wanted to report this issue, as I would like to be able to use the newer versions in the future.

I attached screen shots of the layerlist for the 4.7 and 4.8.

Thanks,

Jeff

Do you have a test app to look at?

I tried to repro in this app, thinking it might be a nested grouplayer issue, but wasn't able to.

Thanks!

Hi Rene,

Thanks for looking at this. The layers I am adding are from a REST service, the group layer itself is created in the arcmap project. This is how I am consuming that in my code:

var testLayer=new MapImageLayer();

Then I add it to the map. The layer above will work in the 4.7 version but not 4.8.

Thanks,

Jeff

Rene,

To see this, use a map service that has grouped layers in it, such as Military (MapServer)

This results in this (using your repo)
