Why isn't the highlight method working in a 2d layer view?

JackFairfield — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 20:35:22 GMT

I am trying to simply highlight a graphic from a feature layer using the highlight method on the feature layer view (Highlight).

I changed the basic feature layer example by adding this section:

view.whenLayerView(featureLayer).then(function (lyrView) {
lyrView.highlight(1148);
});

Here is a live example:

Live Example

I did notice this caveat in the documentation, but I am setting the webgl property in the dojo config:

Known Limitations

In 2D MapViews this method is only supported for FeatureLayers that have opted in to WebGL rendering.

I'm not sure if there is something I'm doing wrong, or if it's a bug in the js sdk. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have any ideas? I still haven't figured it out. Seems like it should be straightforward.

Jack,

The support for webGL rendering is currently only available when using a AGOL hosted feature service. When 10.6.1 ArcGIS Server comes out you will be able to use webGL with your map services.

Ok. I understand.

It seems weird.

But, if I use a Popup with attributes, without hosted feature service, hightlight does work automaticaly.

Why?
