I am trying to display a Tile layer using 4.8 API.

Anonymous User · ‎08-14-2018

Hi ,

We were exploring 4.8 API. As a test. I created the following code which works with an ArcGIS online rest service(layer2) but does not work with Tile Layer (layer1).

I am uploading the code. The code contains layer1 and layer2. layer2 is for test which is an arcgis online layer. This layer is fine. When I try do display layer2 (which is our rest service) it does not display it.

on debugging in chrome I found the error which says (failed to load).

What I observe after click on the link below on error. I find the request goes like https.

I dont know understand why the request is going on https when my url starts with http.

The urls starting with https does not work in our environment. How do I make them send request like http.

Test Map.html // code which I am trying to display our layer.

Correct localhost is considered a secure context in the JS API and will route traffic through https protocol.

See this thread for Rene's discussion on this:

You need to use your machines name in the url. I already showed you my screenshot where I have it working and that is because I Never use the file system or local host urls.

Muralidhar,

Here is your sample working. Notice the JS API urls are changed to http.

      var map = new Map({

      var view = new MapView({

Thank for replying Robert Scheitlin, GISP.

I tried this, it still does not display the layer. the Error on debug is still the same.

Thanks

Muralidhar,

You are not trying to run your code from the file system are you (file://)? If so that is the problem. As you can see in the attached image I am not having any issue with the code I posted:

Anonymous User · ‎08-14-2018

What I am observing is,

if I open in chrome, it does not display.

if I open using IE, it asks for message " do you want to display the blocked content" and click yes, the map is displayed.

if I opne using firefox, it displays the map straightway, which any messages.

still not sure why chrome is not opening it.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎08-14-2018

Muralidhar,

Again I need to ask are you opening the test map.html from your localhost url or machine name url or are you attempting to open it from the file system?

Anonymous User · ‎08-14-2018

From the file system, not on localhost.

its like this.

file:///C:/Users/muralidhar.moka/Desktop/Test%20Map.html

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎08-14-2018

Like I mentioned earlier that is the issue then. The 4.x api is NOT meant to run from the file system like that.

Anonymous User · ‎08-14-2018

Hi Robert.

This is happening with localhost also.

what I observed is, this is happening with API ( 4.8 and 3.5 only )

I tested all the versions of API until 3.4 and 4.7 and the map displays. But not with the above latest versions.

Thanks

Muralidhar Moka.
