Job Failed: Publishing Tile Layer From Feature Layer

DataPoint — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 14:43:03 GMT

Hi,
My overall goal is to take a GeoDataFrame, upload it as a shapefile, publish it as a hosted feature layer with specific styling, and then—this is the part that's failing—publish a vector tile layer from that newly created feature layer.
The Feature Layer Successfully publishes, but then this code fails:

```item_id = feature_layer_item.id print(f"Item ID: {item_id}") item = gis.content.get(item_id) print(f"Publishing vector tiles from item: {item.title} (ID: {item.id})") vector_tile_service = item.publish( file_type='featureService', output_type = 'vectorTiles', build_initial_cache = True, publish_parameters={'serviceName': vector_tile_title}, )```
Here is the traceback:
vector_tile_service = item.publish( 6 file_type='featureService', 7 output_type = 'vectorTiles', 8 build_initial_cache = True,

I'm using arcgis version: 2.4.1.3

I followed the guide: https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/portal-and-data-services/data-services/tutorials/tools/publish-a-vector-tile-layer/

But I've still had no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
