to_featurelayer() fails with overwrite option

A_Schwab — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 15:40:55 GMT

The documentation for publishing a SEDF as a feature layer says it is possible to overwrite an existing layer with over=True and giving layer details as optional arguments.

Documentation reference: https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.features.toc.html?highlight=to_featurelayer#arcgis.features.GeoAccessor.to_featurelayer

when I try

sedf.spatial.to_featurelayer(overwrite=True, service={"featureServiceId" : featureServiceId, "layer": 0}

I get an error:

TypeError: to_featurelayer() got an unexpected keyword argument 'overwrite'

When I published the first version of the featurelayer using sedf.spatial.to_featurelayer(title="Title") - it worked

Hello - I am having the same issue. Can someone from ESRI address this?

I was able to get it to work. In the Dev API reference it states they are additional parameters.

try something like this format:

sedf.spatial.to_featurelayer(title='abc', gis=gis, tags=None, folder=None, sanitize_columns=False, service_name=None, overwrite=True,service= {“featureServiceId” : “9311d21a9a2047d19c0faaebd6f2cca6”, “layer”: 0})
