Feature Layer Collection insert_layer not working

abrown8 — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 16:35:50 GMT

Hello,

I am wondering what I am doing wrong in regards to trying to add another layer to an already published Feature Layer Collection (flc). The FLC that is already published contains a point layer and a related table. I want to add another point layer with a related table to it.

I am trying to use the FeatureLayerCollectionManager.insert_layer() but I receive this error: 'FeatureLayerCollectionManager' object has no attribute 'insert_layer'

My code so far:

item = gis.content.search(query='title:asc')[0] type(item) ## arcgis.gis.Item flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(item) type(flc) ## arcgis.features.layer.FeatureLayerCollection flc.manager.insert_layer(r"local path to shapefile.zip") ## AttributeError: 'FeatureLayerCollectionManager' object has no attribute 'insert_layer'

It seems you may be on a version of the API that does not have that function. I am on Version 2.3.0 and do have access to the function.

You are right - I am currently working with v2.1.0.4 and updating to the latest has solved it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, my production environment is stuck on v2.1.0.4 so will have to use the old-fashioned route of editing the definition...
