TypeError: Cannot read property 'sublayers' of null

I wrote a recursive function to read through our large complicated service. I get this error "TypeError: Cannot read property 'sublayers' of null". It will error out at the same place every time, until I add a piece of code anywhere in the program then it will stop somewhere else or go through all the way. It is predictably unpredictable.

onLoadStatusChanged: {

console.log(mapImageLayer.mapImageSublayers.count)
if(mapImageLayer.mapImageSublayers.count > 0){

for (var x = 0; x < mapImageLayer.mapImageSublayers.count; x++) {

console.log("x = " + x.toString())
console.log("Outside: " + mapImageLayer.mapImageSublayers.get(x).name)
if(mapImageLayer.mapImageSublayers.get(x).sublayers.count > 0){
iname(mapImageLayer.mapImageSublayers.get(x))

}

function iname(thislayer) {

for (var y =0; y < thislayer.sublayers.count; y++) {

console.log(thislayer.subLayerContents.name)
console.log(thislayer.subLayerContents.sublayerId)
console.log("y = " + y.toString())
console.log("count= " + thislayer.subLayerContents.sublayers.count)

if(thislayer.subLayerContents.sublayers.count > 0){

console.log(thislayer.subLayerContents.name)
thislayer.subLayerContents.visible=true

}else{

thislayer.subLayerContents.visible=false

}

if(thislayer.subLayerContents.sublayers.count > 0){
iname(thislayer.subLayerContents)
}

}

Hi,

Seems most likely like a timing issue. Have you made sure that all of the loadable classes are loaded? For example, the map image layer needs to be in state loadStatus === Enums.LoadStatusLoaded. And each sublayer needs to be loaded before accessing sublayers. More details here - https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/latest/qml/guide/loadable-pattern.htm

for example, you could do something like

sublayer.loadStatusChanged.connect(function(){ 
  if (sublayer.loadStatus === Enums.LoadStatusLoaded) {
    // access the sublayers now
  }
});‍‍‍‍‍
