I have created a hosted feature table (no location information) from a CSV in my 10.8.1 Portal. Trying to programmatically update this keeps throwing an error:
feature_table_item = Item(GIS, itemId) #this points to a hosted feature table
flayer_collection = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(feature_table_item)
flayer_collection.manager.overwrite(path_to_csv)
The error is
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IndexError: list index out of range
I can see that is looking for the first item in the layers attribute.
However, flayer_collection.layers is an empty array, which explains the IndexError
flayer_collection.tables however is an array with one table item:
[<Table url:"https://MyGISServer/arcgis/rest/services/Hosted/MyTable/FeatureServer/0">]
So why does the update method only call on the layers attributes instead of whichever attribute (layers or table) contains the service URL. Ostensibly a hosted feature layer / table will only have ONE service anyway (as opposed to a MapService). Is there an accepted workaround here or am I missing something?
