map.infoWindow marker symbol does not show up in JSAPI 3.14

BillyYancey — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 22:18:38 GMT

I switched my JSAPI version to 3.14 and now, when I have point features selected, the symbol does not show up. It works fine if I only switch back to 3.12. It also works fine for the line features.

Interestingly enough, I could not find any of the samples in which point features are highlighted when popups are used on a point features identify style tool.

Here is the current symbol setup in case it it helps:

selColor = new esri.Color([0, 255, 255, 0.6]);
selLine = new esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol(esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, selColor, 10, esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol.CAP_ROUND, esri.symbol.CartographicLineSymbol.JOIN_ROUND);
selMarker = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_SQUARE, 20, selLine, selColor);
mainMap.infoWindow.lineSymbol = selLine;
mainMap.infoWindow.markerSymbol = selMarker;

I think I have found the cause of the issue which is a bug in JS-API 3.14. How can I report and get this fixed? Any admins here?

To bring something to the attention of the JavaScript developers, it would help if you move this to the ArcGIS API for JavaScript space instead of the more generic Developers space. You can also use the @ symbol and start typing the name of one of the Javascript experts (like Bjorn Svensson orKelly Hutchins) to bring this to their attention.

You should be able to log a bug using Esri's support page, logging in with your global account.

To report bugs with the JSAPI please contact Esri Technical Support

Did you get any resolution to this? I think I may be having the same issue in 3.15.

I have the same issue with 3.15. Is anyone found resolution to this?

var pointHighlightSymbol = new SimpleFillSymbol(SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new SimpleLineSymbol(SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new Color([98,194,204]), 2), new Color([98,94,204,0.8]));

var polyFillSymbol= new SimpleFillSymbol(SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new SimpleLineSymbol(SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new Color([255, 0, 0]), 2), new Color([255, 255, 0, 0.25]));

popup = new Popup(

{ fillSymbol: polyFillSymbol, markerSymbol: pointHighlightSymbol },

domConstruct.create("div"));

I created a quick test using a feature layer with points and a simple marker symbol and setting the popup to an alternate symbol worked for me in version 3.15. Here's the relevant code:

       var symbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol({
              "color": [0,0,0,1],
              "size": 12,
              "angle": -30,
              "xoffset": 0,
              "yoffset": 0,
              "type": "esriSMS",
              "style": "esriSMSCircle",
              "outline": {
                "color": [255,0,191],
                "width": 2,
                "type": "esriSLS",
                "style": "esriSLSSolid"
              }
            });
            map.infoWindow.set("markerSymbol", symbol);

Here's a link to a js bin showing the working sample:

Hi Kelly, I tried this out but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Here's a jsfiddle

Edit: corrected the missing reference in the jsfiddle

Hi Kelly, It is not working when combined with identify tool. I think the issue is with geometry to highlight the individual feature.

KellyHutchins — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 23:55:39 GMT

There's a sample in the help showing custom symbology with Identify task. I tested it out and it worked just fine. In the example the fill symbol is customized because the geometry type being selected is polygon.

Hi Kelly, there's no issue with polygons highlighting - the polygons in my jsfiddle highlight too, it's only the points that seem not to.

Hi Kelly, As Laura mentioned, the issue is with points. The example you have given will not work for points.

KellyHutchins — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 00:30:32 GMT

Based on a quick look this looks like a bug. Your best bet is to submit this as an issue to Esri Support so they can evaluate the problem and log a bug.

Edit: I spoke to the dev team and this change is due to a behavioral change in how popup works with features rather than a bug. In order to have point selection appear you'll need to add a graphic to a graphics layer and manage the selection. Here's a link to an example showing how this works.

Hi Kelly, thanks for this - it is working for me. But are they sure this is not a bug? What is the rationale for the default behavior being that polygons and lines highlight, but not points?

Re: map.infoWindow marker symbol does not show up in JSAPI 3.14

sreeharikottoormadam — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:39:50 GMT

If we select multiple points, the highlight behavior is different from the polygon.

LauraMiles1 — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:43:59 GMT

I agree the behavior is different - this seems like a workaround rather than the way the API is intended to function...when I added this code into my own map, I get both the custom highlight and something that looks like the default highlight (cyan color).

Hi Laura,

Yes, I agreed with you and seems it is a bug. Try using this workaround. Set the alpha for the outline to 0. So we will get at least default behavior. I have tried this and working fine.

var symbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol({

"color": [0,0,0,0],

"size": 12,

"angle": -30,

"xoffset": 0,

"yoffset": 0,

"type": "esriSMS",

"style": "esriSMSCircle"

});

LauraMiles1 — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:20:45 GMT

Setting "color" to [0,0,0,0] didn't work, but setting "size" to 0 did. Thanks! Default behavior is good enough for me.
