VEGeocoder No Longer Working

MarkHoover — Thu, 17 May 2012 13:19:00 GMT

I've just recently discovered that code I had previously been using no longer works. It leverages the VEGeocoder class. Below is the offending code:

//Draw and zoom to the result when the geocoding is complete         dojo.connect(veGeocoder, "onAddressToLocationsComplete", function (geocodeResults) {             var pointMeters = esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(geocodeResults[0].location);             var pointSymbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol().setSize(15).setColor(new dojo.Color("blue"));             var font = new esri.symbol.Font().setSize("17pt");             var textSymbol = new esri.symbol.TextSymbol(geocodeResults[0].displayName, font, new dojo.Color("black")).setOffset(0, 8);             _that.searchMapGraphics.add(new esri.Graphic(pointMeters, pointSymbol));             _that.searchMapGraphics.add(new esri.Graphic(pointMeters, textSymbol));             map.setExtent(esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(geocodeResults[0].bestView));         });          var query = Ext.getCmp('searchTextField').getValue();         veGeocoder.addressToLocations(query);

The callback function never fires it seems. There has been no change to this code from the working version. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a problem on Bing's side perchance? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,
Mark

Do you see a request being sent to bing to do the geocode operation?

Firebug's console doesn't seem to be logging anything; should I be looking somewhere else?

Are you able to successfully use VEGeocoder in code of your own?

What do you see in the Net tab? That's where you would see the request to do the geocode.

I haven't tested it lately but will now...I'll post back once I know more.

Ah ha, there it is. A request is made and I get the following response:

dojo.io.script.jsonp_dojoIoScript5._jsonpCallback({"error":{"code":500,"message":"Credentials are either invalid or unspecified.","details":[]}});

Looks like a case of Key mismanagement as we had a different key for the Basemap Gallery and the Geocoder. A bit perplexed as to why the one key suddenly started failing but at least I've uncovered why now.

Thanks!

Glad I could help...can you mark this on as answered?

Certainly. Done and done.
