What causes this error?

jonathanlee1 — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 01:35:06 GMT

I been trying to applyEdits to a feature and after I hit this error I cannot use the dojo.connect(layer, "onEditsComplete", function(add, updates, deletes)... to further update the feature

TypeError: Unable to get value of the property 'getCellsInExtent': object is null or undefined[\code]

any idea what causes this error?

I think I know what is causing this error, it might be that I must state the Xmin, Ymin, Xmax and Ymax to the point so that it can show an extent.

Last time I got that error, I believe that something was returning a null. It ended up that I commented out some dojo reference in an html tag.

Also, I am not really sure about your intent but perhaps using something like this would work better:

dojo.connect( layernamehere, "onBeforeApplyEdits", function( a,u,d) {
// do really cool stuff here
});

the featLayer that your applying edits to...is it currently within visible scale range?

Yes the visible scale range is currently 4 and I have zoomed to that level before trying to add a feature and applyEdits to the layer.

I was thinking is it possible that my graphic instantiating without a symbol will cause this?
var graphic = new esri.Graphic(point, null, attributes);
but i don't really think that is the problem.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but I will need the objectId that was created for the feature so that I can updated an attribute in the feature upon creation.
