Unable to add_to_definition() since 2.4.0. - Invalid URL

[mikaël]

Update arcgis python API to 2.4.0 last week, now I can't seem to make FeatureLayerCollection.manager.add_to_definition() work.

I have this script which ran perfectly fine before where I added a layer or table to a FeatureLayerCollection: flc.manager.add_to_definition(dict). Where dict contains info about the layer in question.

Now I get this error:

Exception: Invalid URL
Invalid URL
(Error Code: 400)

What's wrong here?

Thanks.

Hi @mikaël,

Are you able to share more of your code please?

How are you accessing ArcGIS Online (or Portal) and how are you creating the FeatureLayerCollection object.

All the best,

Glen

Hey,

Here goes (to create a view):

from arcgis.features import FeatureLayerCollection
from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS("URL", username, password)
service = gis.content.get("itemid")
flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(service)

dict = {
    "layers": [
        {
            "adminLayerInfo": {
                "viewLayerDefinition": {
                    "sourceServiceName": "nameOfSourceService"
                    "sourceLayerId": 0 # source service layer id
                    "sourceLayerFields": "*"
                }
            },
            "id": 0,
            "name": "name"
            "description": "desc"
        }
    ]
}

result = flc.manager.add_to_definition(dict)

# Exception: Invalid URL
# Invalid URL
# (Error Code: 400)

You might want to post details here as an issue since it hasn't been reported and more information will be needed to test to see if it can be replicated
