Error while generating offline areas

I am trying to generate offline areas through ArcGIS Python API, getting an below error

TypeError: 'VectorTileLayer' object is not subscriptable

Looks like a VectorTileLayer is not subscriptable meaning you cannot use square bracket notation to access the "layerType".

You could try cached_layer.layerType.

Update to...

for cached_layer in cached_layers: if cached_layer.layerType == "VectorTileLayer": if cached_layer.url: layer0_obj = arcgis_layers.VectorTileLayer( cached_layer.url, self._gis )

Please let us know if that helps.

All the best,

Glen

If your "VectorTileLayer" object has no attribute "layerType", that means that your cached_layer is a VectorTileLayer.

Try the below and see what objects are being returned for cached_layers

for cached_layer in cached_layers: print(type(cached_layer))
