geometryService.lengths() is not working on the 4.8

Hello,

I've take the code from here :

ArcGIS API for JavaScript Sandbox

And i've added this code

var lengthParamsCliped = new LengthsParameters();
lengthParamsCliped.calculationType = 'geodesic';
lengthParamsCliped.geodesic = true;
lengthParamsCliped.lengthUnit = 'METER';
lengthParamsCliped.polylines = [polyline];

geometryService.lengths(lengthParamsCliped).then(calculatedClippedLength);

function calculatedClippedLength(res)
{
console.info(res);
}

The code stop with the message "a.toJSON is not a function"

Where a is the polyline who looks like that:

a: Object
paths: Array(3)
0: Array(2)
0: -111.3
1: 52.68
length: 2
__proto__: Array(0)
1: Array(2)
0: -98
1: 49.5
length: 2
__proto__: Array(0)
2: Array(2)
0: -93.94
1: 29.89
length: 2
__proto__: Array(0)
length: 3
__proto__: Array(0)
spatialReference:
wkid: 4326
__proto__: Object
type: "polyline"
__proto__: Object

I will be grateful if someone could help me to find a solution.

Thanks in advance

Best regards

R N,

The doc is not very clear when it say a string or number for the length unit it is expecting the numeric value of the unit as a number or a string. METER = 9001

lengthParamsCliped<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>lengthUnit <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="number token">9001</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

RN,

The LengthsParameters class does not autoCast the values of the polylines property to actual PolyLines. So you have to give it an array of ACTUAL polylines, not json representing Polylines.

Ok i've done that and its better because i dont have any errors but unfortunaly i dont have any result at all.

Im using a simple code like that just to understand how i can mesure the lenght of a polyline.

Please take a look here:

You have make my weekend better, i've tried so hard to find a solution and i've knew it was something little to find.

Best regards
