This is regarding cloning an ExB application using the new (version 2.2.0.1) ArcGIS API for Python submodule expbuilder in the apps module.
It is a great addition to the cloning library, but i found an error when cloning an ExB application which has widgets with no item id or no portal url. The function calls for the "portalUrl" and the "itemId" to be changed, but if those keys don't exist in the dict (widget in this case), the functions fails.
File: "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Lib\site-packages\arcgis\apps\expbuilder\expbuilder.py"
Function: _clone_dict
Starts at line 756
I propose adding 2 IF statements, that checks if the data dictionary contains the relevant keys, that the function changes.
The final function will look like this:
def _clone_dict(data_dict, source, target, owner, **kwargs):
"""
Helper function to clone items and update appropriate dict
"""
new_dict = data_dict
new_dict["attributes"]["portalUrl"] = target.url
for k, v in new_dict["dataSources"].items():
if "portalUrl" in v.keys(): #NEW LINE
v["portalUrl"] = target.url
if "itemId" in v.keys(): #NEW LINE
item = source.content.get(v["itemId"])
clone_result = target.content.clone_items([item], owner=owner, **kwargs)
if clone_result:
v["itemId"] = clone_result[0].itemid
else:
targ_item = target.content.search(item.title)[0]
v["itemId"] = targ_item.itemid
return new_dict
