Can I use Web Appbuilder Dev Edition during a Free trial of ArcGis?

MariGerr — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 13:16:26 GMT

I'm trying out ArcGis for a 60 day trial and would like to try the Web AppBuilder Dev Edition. However when trying to install I get the infamous

Error 400 Invalid redirect_url

I followed the install instructions here and troubleshooting here, with no luck. I'm have node 6.9.5 installed.

I am a loss as to what is going on, so hoping for advice and also to check that it is not the trial account status that is causing the problem.

Mari,

Since the getting started page talks about using a trial account you can be sure that this is not your issue.

Specify your portal URL

Specify the URL for the ArcGIS Online organization or Portal for ArcGIS account that you want Web AppBuilder to access. To use Web AppBuilder, you must have an ArcGIS Online organization account, a Portal for ArcGIS account, or an ArcGIS for Developers account.
Subscription:
Sign up for the ArcGIS Online Trial account or the ArcGIS for Developers introductory account.
Click Continue.
- If the portal you specified above uses web-tier authentication, skip the next section. After log in, you can build your first app.
- If you're using ArcGIS Online organization or portal with OAuth2 authentication, follow the steps in the next section to provide an App ID for Web AppBuilder.

Look at the FAQ about this error:

FAQs—Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition) | ArcGIS for Developers

What should I do when I try to set the App ID and encounter an Invalid redirect_uri error?

Ah thanks for pointing out the free trial link in the install instructions. Glad to be able to rule that out.

I have followed the FAQ tip as well with no luck. Here is what I've tried so far:

Deleted signininfo.json file and re-register app id
checked spelling of my machine name in the URL
verified that I am not in a domain
included both https and http URLs
deleted and re-extracted Web AppBuilder files from zip folder (and then basically did whole install process from beginning)
Changed my organization account security setting to not use Https

Kind of at a loss of what to try next.

Mari,

Are you using http or https when WAB asks for your portal url?

MariGerr — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 14:43:15 GMT

I've tried both before and after changing security settings

Mari,

It is hard to say what might be going wrong then. I have all the right resources that I would normally recommend people use. You may need to contact tech support and see if they can help you though what you must be missing.

Is there a way to contact tech support as a trial customer?

When I go to http://support.esri.com/contact-tech-support#us

Or Standard Support at

http://support.esri.com/other-resources/SupportServices#standard/usadomestic

It states that chat and telephone support are only for subscribers and that I don't have access.

I don't see any other contact options.

I think I might also try creating a new question here and reference in question title the error I'm getting. This question title just refers to using Web Appbuilder as trial customer.

Mari,

If you do not have maintenance with esri for some ArcGIS product then you are correct you can not call or contact esri tech support. I am not sure what to tell you as most people have their invalid redirect url issue solved by following the advice in

/blogs/myAlaskaGIS/2015/01/15/tips-and-observations-for-getting-web-appbuilder-developer-edition-installed

or the FAQ link I provided earlier.

I know this is an old basic, but have you logged off your new ArcGIS Online account, then tried a reboot and tried it again? Sometimes with our machines not crashing as often, this is an overlooked possible fix.

Also, I know some have nodejs start as a service on reboot. I don't personally and instead just use the startup.bat in the folder of whichever WAB version I want to start up. The first time I start it, it usually comes up blank or seems to lock. I shut down the window and restart the startup.bat and it will work. I know if I went thru the process to run it the other way, it would probably resolve this, but most days I don't even get a chance to just into WAB, so only start the nodejs when I am ready. I keep the /blogs/myAlaskaGIS/2016/03/09/web-appbuilder-developer-edition-customization-resource-list?sr=search&searchId=8364cca3-b1d7-4848-b0bc-1423cc0747b4&searchIndex=0 as much for me to find later, as well as helping anyone else that finds it helpful.

The PDF /blogs/wab/2015/05/01/installing-robert-s-enhanced-search-widget-for-the-web-appbuilder may also be of help. The name makes it sound like it is just for the search widget, but it is actually a step by step guide for installing. Although it is for a few versions back, it is still helpful.

Other than once again going carefully thru the steps on /blogs/myAlaskaGIS/2015/01/15/tips-and-observations-for-getting-web-appbuilder-developer-edition-installed , making sure you have the minimum requirements (and not installing on a server OS), spelling all items correctly....that's all I have to recommend. After that, as Robert mentioned, might be a call to tech support.

edit: one more thing that might help, tagging dlaw-esristaff‌ who might be able to answer in case it is not allowed. He may be tied up as the FedUC today (not sure if he is there or not)??

Thanks for further suggestions and the detailed PDF for installing widgets. The problem ended up being my machine name which was longer than 15 characters and was being cut off in the url. I changed my machine name and changed settings on app and was able to launch now.

Good to know. I'll add that as a tip in the Tips blog page. It may help someone else in the future.

All,

Just to respond to Rebecca Strauch, GISP‌'s comment:

> edit: one more thing that might help, tagging Derek Law who might be able to answer in case it is not allowed.

Yes, Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS Developer Edition should work with an ArcGIS Online trial account.

Hope this helps,

Is the 15 character limit something that esri is going to fix? soon?
