Bug: InfoWindow removes graphic

JeffJacobson — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 21:13:24 GMT

I am having an issue where clicking on a graphic in a feature layer more than once will remove the graphic. I have created a plunk that demonstrates this issue. Note that the issue only occurs when using the arcgisUtils.createMap function, not when using the Map constructor.

Is there anything I can do to prevent the graphics from being removed, is this a bug that I need to wait for Esri to fix?

Instead of using the GraphicsLayer add method to add the graphic to the layer try using the feature layer applyEdits method. For example:

fLayer.applyEdits([graphic]);

Thanks Kelly Hutchins, that fixed the issue I was having.

Is the "bug" I was experiencing actually a bug, though? I didn't see anything in the documentation telling me not to use the add function, and add works when creating the map via the Map constructor. I still don't understand why the graphic was disappearing.

Jeff Jacobson this one could be a documentation bug or a bug with the api. Can you submit this as a support incident so we can track this issue and determine how to resolve the bug.

Looks like this a a documentation bug. Using add with FeatureLayer isn't supported. We'll get the documentation updated to state this.
