I am using ArcREST-3 to update feature but I get 'ImportError: cannot import name securityhandlerhelper'

JulieK — Tue, 06 Oct 2015 14:11:55 GMT

Hello,

I installed the latest version but I keep getting the error " ImportError: cannot import name securityhandlerhelper"

I am trying the update feature sample as below:

from arcresthelper import securityhandlerhelper
	from arcrest.agol import FeatureLayer
	from arcrest.common.filters import LayerDefinitionFilter
	import datetime
	from datetime import timedelta
	from arcrest.common.general import local_time_to_online,online_time_to_string

	if __name__ == "__main__":
	url = 'URL to Service'
	sql = 'where clause'

	dt = local_time_to_online(datetime.datetime.now())

	fieldInfo =[

	{
	'FieldName':'dischrgtyp',
	'ValueToSet':'Alert'
	}
	]

	proxy_port = None
	proxy_url = None

	securityinfo = {}
	securityinfo['security_type'] = 'Portal'#LDAP, NTLM, OAuth, Portal, PKI, ArcGIS
	securityinfo['username'] = "<User Name>"
	securityinfo['password'] = "<Password>"
	securityinfo['org_url'] = "<Org or portal url>"
	securityinfo['proxy_url'] = proxy_url
	securityinfo['proxy_port'] = proxy_port
	securityinfo['referer_url'] = None
	securityinfo['token_url'] = None
	securityinfo['certificatefile'] = None
	securityinfo['keyfile'] = None
	securityinfo['client_id'] = None
	securityinfo['secret_id'] = None

	shh = securityhandlerhelper.securityhandlerhelper(securityinfo=securityinfo)
	if shh.valid == False:
	print shh.message
	else:
	fl= FeatureLayer(
	url=url,
	securityHandler=shh.securityhandler,
	proxy_port=proxy_port,
	proxy_url=proxy_url,
	initialize=True)

	out_fields = ['objectid']
	for fld in fieldInfo:
	out_fields.append(fld['FieldName'])

	resFeats = fl.query(where=sql,
	out_fields=",".join(out_fields))
	for feat in resFeats:

	for fld in fieldInfo:
	feat.set_value(fld["FieldName"],fld['ValueToSet'])

	print fl.updateFeature(features=resFeats)

thanks,

Julie

The securityhandlerhelper is part of the ArcRestHelper. Can you verify this is installed? Also, what sample are you following, we have not upgraded all samples and if you add an issue on the ArcRest github repo we will get it upgraded for you.

I'm also having this issue, but it seems to be simply a matter of where to put the ArcRest files. I have an ArcREST folder within the Python27\ArcGIS10.3 directory, and clearly some of the ArcRest python files and modules are not where they need to be.

Any thoughts on where to put the ArcREST files once they are downloaded? I have run an install using pip for ArcRest, and it ran successfully but again, not everything is apparently stored where it needs to be.

Thanks -

Allen
