Bug in Python API 1.8.1

Hi,

I think there is a bug in the Python API.

When creating a new Table feature and adding it to a webmap I get an error:

AttributeError("'NoneType' object has no attribute 'json'",)

using something like

new_table = Table(new_table_url)
wm.add_table(new_table)

in the add_table function in C:\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\mapping\_types.py we have

if not isinstance(table, arcgis.features.Table):
raise Exception("Type of object passed in must of type 'Table'")
self.add_layer(table, options)

in def add_layer(self, layer, options=None):

the first check is

if options is None:
options = {}
if isinstance(layer, arcgis.features.FeatureLayer) and \
'renderer' not in options:
options['renderer'] = json.loads(layer.renderer.json)

which throws the error because tables obviously don't have renderers.

If you do this

isinstance(table, arcgis.features.Table)
True
isinstance(table, arcgis.features.FeatureLayer)
True

which is why it doesn't work.

Thanks

You might want to see if that issue has been address with version 1.8.2, otherwise raise an "Issue" at
