I'm moving data out of a dataframe and into a workforce app. 

 

 

from arcgis.apps import workforce
from arcgis.gis import GIS
from arcgis.geometry import Point
import datetime

# Set up the workforce project
gis = GIS(url="https://place.maps.arcgis.com",
            username="u_name", password="pw")
layer = gis.content.search("itemID")[0] # Gives a FeatureCollection
project = workforce.Project(layer)
# Create a list of project assignments
assignments = []
for _, row in df.iterrows():
    print(f"Processing {row['Request']}...")
    # Initialize variables
    geometry = Point({
        "x": row["Longitude"],
        "y": row["Latitude"],
        "spatialReference": {"wkid": 4326}
    })
    reproj = arcgis.geometry.project(
        geometries=[geometry],
        in_sr=4326,
        out_sr=3857
    )[0]
    assignment_details = {
        "assignment_type": "Intake",
        "geometry": reproj,
        "priority": 0,
        "location": "Test",
        "status": 1,
        "description": row["Description"],
        "work_order_id": row["Request"],
        "due_date": row["Entered date"],
        "assigned_date": datetime.datetime.utcnow(),
        "worker": project.workers.get(user_id="user")
    }
    # Create workforce assignment
    assignment = workforce.Assignment(project, **assignment_details)
    assignments.append(assignment)
project.assignments.batch_add(assignments)

 

 

My understanding of 500 errors is that there's not much I can do to solve the problem, right? Still, is there something about my code that's causing a hangup?

Traceback:

python version: 3.7.9

arcgis version: 1.8.3

UPDATE:

I rearranged the script to try posting to the REST API using the requests library, but it still times out.

After a lot of tinkering, it turned out to be an issue with the description field. I was trying to hyperlink to a URL using <a> tags, but the tag wasn't getting constructed properly. Also, according to this post, it doesn't seem like HTML is honored in Workforce yet. I reconstructed the description to include the raw URL rather than the URL formatted into an <a> tag, and that solved the timeout issue.
