newMeasurement bug or removed in 4.19

GregoryBologna — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 22:04:45 GMT

I just switched from 4.18 to 4.19 and discovered that both DistanceMeasurement2D & AreaMeasurement2D appear to be broken or changed. Is this a bug or was this method removed? The code example worked as far back as 4.7.

Example (works in 4.18)

let activeWidget = new AreaMeasurement2D({
view: view,
unit: "square-us-feet"
});

try {
activeWidget.viewModel.newMeasurement();
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
// TypeError: activeWidget.viewModel.newMeasurement is not a function
}

// including

The .newMeasurement() function was renamed to .start()

The renamed method Jethro mentions is documented along with many other Breaking Changes in the release notes.
