Pop-up not enabled for layer not visible in web map

ArchanaVenkataraman — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 14:00:44 GMT

We have an application built with 3.24 API based on a web map in Portal for ArcGIS. Some of the layers are not visible in the web map initially (parent group layer visible but not sub layer), but the pop-up has been configured and enabled for all layers. This works as expected within the Portal.

With a layer list widget configured to the web map, layer visibility is toggled within the application. For layers that were not visible within the web map, pop-up does not appear.

Here is a screenshot of a web map within the sample app for layer list. It shows the pop up for a layer that is set as visible within the web map.

When I toggle the other layer on and zoom-in, I still get the pop-up of previous layer.

Even when I turn the layer's visibility off, I still don't get the pop-up of the now visible layer.

Whereas in the web-map, once the pop-up seems to be working as expected. It shows both the layer's pop-up, but it considers all visible layers.

The screenshots are from a sample app that uses the 3.28 version of the API.

Is this a limitation of the API? Is there any way to enable the pop-up set in the web map when the layer visibility is toggled on?

Archana,

So you just took this sample and replaced the webmap id?

What is your webmap id? If you provide it I can do some testing for you.

Hello Robert,

Yes I used the sample and just changed the web map ID.

This is the link to the web map:

Archana,

Then make this change to that sample:

arcgisUtils.createMap("939c5b8285844d129ecb3aae29f02581", "map",{usePopupManager: true}).then(function(response){
        var myWidget = new LayerList({
           map: response.map,
           layers: arcgisUtils.getLayerList(response)
        },"layerList");
        myWidget.startup();
    });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The important part is usePopupManager.
