Map is not showing in ArcGIS API for Python demo test.

Anonymous User — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 15:13:27 GMT

Getting started with ArcGIS API for Python, and something seems amiss. I was hoping to simply get to the point where I could see a simple map and feel a nice sense of progress, but, while I get no error messages when I try to display the map, I also get no map.

This is probably something VERY simple, but I haven't been able to figure out under my own power. See image, please.

Thank you,

Randy McGregor

I assume you've tried it without the 'oops' part?

The next line after the OOPS corrects it.

Hmmmm, the following works for me:

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS()
map = gis.map("Paris")
map‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for checking. I'm missing something. I just don't know what...

It's probably some difference in our environments. You're running on Python 3 kernel?

Hi Randy,

What version of the api do you have installed?

You can check with the following code

import arcgis

print(__arcgis.version__)

The syntax is print(arcgis.__version__)

Still having issues?

It appears as though I don't have permission to make a necessary update, and since I am just testing for now, I don't want to push this too far. I appreciate the help and insights. When it's go time, I'll revisit.

Thank you,

Randy

I am having a similar issue as Randy but I'm able to get layer's added to 'map1' but you don't see the underlying basemap. I've tried all sorts of things but can't seem to figure this one out. Any ideas?

It will be hard to say what's going on without seeing the code that came before. Does the following work on its own?

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS()
map = gis.map("Paris")
map

I'm just using the sample notebook that I downloaded from ESRI's page -> index | ArcGIS for Developers

I tried running the code like you have and it fails

Just out of curiosity, what do you get if you run `print(map)`? I get:

MapView(basemaps=['dark-gray', 'dark-gray-vector', 'gray', 'gray-vector', 'hybrid', 'national-geographic', 'oceans', 'osm', 'satellite', 'streets', 'streets-navigation-vector', 'streets-night-vector', 'streets-relief-vector', 'streets-vector', 'terrain', 'topo', 'topo-vector'], center=[0, 0])

I got:

does it help to know that I just tried ESRI's sandbox version and it ran fine

Also - I tried testing my install according to ESRI's guidance but keep getting the same problem.

Install and set up | ArcGIS for Developers

Test your install with jupyter notebookhttps://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/install-and-set-up/#Test-your-install-with-jupyter-notebook

From the Jupyter Notebook dashboard:

Windows: Click New > Python 3
macOS and Linux: Click New > Python[default]

Enter the following lines of code:

from arcgis.gis import GIS my_gis = GIS() my_gis.map()

and I get this....

A little more info about the environment will be helpful:

And, does it work in another popular web browser? let's say Chrome if you are using IE.

Last, you can open the browser console (F12 for Chrome) to see some errors there and post the error message which will also help people to diagnose the problem.
