I am trying to upload a definition for a Web Mapping Application to ArcGIS Online using arcgis.gis. I have a .json file "testWebMappingApplication.json" where I have defined the data for the app. The problem I am running into is that when I check the item in ArcGIS Online Assistant, I see the description JSON but nothing for data.
workspace = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath("__file__"))
input_file_name = workspace + r'\testWebMappingApplication.json'
with open(input_file_name) as input_file:
print('reading {}'.format(input_file_name))
json_input = input_file.read()
default_obj = json.loads(json_input)
ip = {
"title": "WEBAPP_PYTHONTEST",
"type": "Web Mapping Application",
"typeKeywords": [
"JavaScript",
"Map",
"Mapping Site",
"Online Map",
"Ready To Use",
"WAB2D",
"Web AppBuilder",
"Web Map"
]
}
I have tried several approaches ways of calling gis.content.add:
# gis.content.add(item_properties=ip, folder="DevTest", data=default_obj) # error
# item = gis.content.add(item_properties=ip, folder="DevTest") # works but no data
# item = gis.content.add(item_properties=ip, folder="DevTest", data=json.dumps(default_obj)) # error
item = gis.content.add(item_properties=ip, folder="DevTest", data=input_file_name) # works but no data in ArcGIS Online Assistant
The last line doesn't give an error but in ArcGIS Online Assistant I don't see the data JSON, instead there is a link to download the file. Is there a way to set the JSON data for the Web Mapping Application item?
