TypeError: a.getDojoShape is not a function

All, this was an easy fix and thanks to John G. for giving me a kick in the butt to look for the error in the code.

Basically there was a line to add the graphic that I was creating, but instead I still had the reference to the graphicsLayer. Easy. Thanks for all your help!

So I'm trying to put all my graphics into the main map graphics layer (rather than create a new graphics layer).

It works - but only 1/2 the time.

Basically, a user clicks the button to do a geocode > queryies > display the results, and it seems to work ok the first time.

However, if you click it again, the error TypeError: a.getDojoShape is not a function shows up.

But... if you click it again, it works just fine (ie. first graphics layer clears, new graphics appear as I would expect).

So I'm wondering If I have something out of order, or, as some (ancient) forum posts suggest, there is another Dojo require I need to add?

Thank you!!!

Matthew,

If you could post your code, that might be helpful. Always tough to see what could be wrong without code.

Tim, added the code... hope it's not too much to sort though...

'seeing' the code is helpful, it'd be substantially easier to troubleshoot if you wrote a complete, ready to run repro case to distill the problem.

Let me see what I can do...

The correct answer was to create a repro and force myself to look at the code a little harder... Thanks, John!

it can be a pain to shift gears from your actual production project, but after 5 years in tech support i found its the right answer about 90% of the time
