Empty BaseMap not working

JustinCornell — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 02:28:04 GMT

Utlimately if I could capture a BaseMap load failure that would good enough but I can't figure out how to do that so I've tried these things below. If you know how to capture a BaseMap load failure please, please, please give me an example!

I'm trying to load a dynamicMapService with no basemap specified and this works. Problem occurs when trying to toggle to a new base map like "gray" after loading with no basemap. The base map's don't actually load on the map although the map's "basemap-change" event fires. They dynamicMapService is in the same coordinate system as the "gray" basemap. Any ideas why they won't show up?

Since I couldn't get the previous to work, I tried constructing my own basemap in code but it doesn't appear to work because it says Unknown basemap layer type: "WebTiledLayer" found in basemap definition. It clearly states in the documentation this is a valid option for type (BasemapLayer | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.17). Any help to get a basemap defined that just returns a single empty tile would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using the 3.16 API version
