Can't use GIS() object in 'Binder' both in Jupyter Lab and Notebook

Question

Hi, I am trying to execute my GitHub repository to a binder environment.

Everything works great, however I just cannot get the GIS() object to work, I cannot view map not in Notebook nor Jupterlab.

for example

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS()
map1 = gis.map('Israel',8)
map1 # doesn't display

I could not even view this as an embedded html.

what am I missing?

I don't think the geocoded is relevant to my problem...

I'm trying to work with Binder.

I just figured it out. Or, I figured part of it out anyway. We had an additional geocoder service enabled in our organization and set to primary (it's a free geocoder service provided by the state - VGIN). Unfortunately, there appears to be an issue with it, or with our configuration for it. When I moved the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service back to the top, it resolved the issue.

I get that you can use try-catch blocks to handle exceptions, but this should not be generating any exceptions. I'm getting the same from the example Notebooks Esri themselves published, and they had no try-catch usage in theirs, so it doesn't appear to be requisite. Just in testing this, I tried the statement: map = gis.map() map And this worked, if less than useful at only showing an interactive map of the planet: It appears to be an issue with the built-in geocoder, as suggested by the error message: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 m1 = gis.map('San Diego') 2 m1 /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/arcgis/gis/__init__.py in map(self, location, zoomlevel, mode, geocoder) 955 else: 956 for geocoder in get_geocoders(self): --> 957 locations = geocode(location, out_sr=4326, max_locations=1, geocoder=geocoder) 958 if len(locations) > 0: 959 if zoomlevel is not None: /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/arcgis/geocoding/_functions.py in geocode(address, search_extent, location, distance, out_sr, category, out_fields, max_locations, magic_key, for_storage, geocoder, as_featureset, match_out_of_range, location_type, lang_code, source_country) 1118 location_type=location_type, 1119 lang_code=lang_code, -> 1120 source_country=source_country) 1121 1122 /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/arcgis/geocoding/_functions.py in _geocode(self, address, search_extent, location, distance, out_sr, category, out_fields, max_locations, magic_key, for_storage, as_featureset, match_out_of_range, location_type, lang_code, source_country) 196 if address is not None: 197 if isinstance(address, str): --> 198 params[self._address_field] = address 199 elif isinstance(address, dict): 200 params.update(address) AttributeError: 'Geocoder' object has no attribute '_address_field' I'm just wondering if something changed in AGOL under the hood that their API does not have working. Is anyone else able to get a map to work in an AGOL-hosted Jupyter Notebook using a location or address?
