queryTask.execute skips call back function in a dojo class

[MattBorden1]

FILE attachment shows full script

This code sample is based on the Wab Dev Edition 2.7 print widget, specifically the print.js file.

I'm attempting to add custom queries inside the existing print.js code.  The print: function() is a method on the 

var PrintDijit = declare([_WidgetBase, _TemplatedMixin, _WidgetsInTemplateMixin], { 

declaration from a dojo AMD style class.  See attached file for full print.js code.

I'm using the debug tools in a Chrome browser, and when attempting to execute 

queryTask.execute(query, resultsFunction);

the execute request skips the call back function call to resultsFunction and simply steps over the call back function, 

so this code block is bypassed

Any help is appreciated, Thanks Matt

var query = new esriQuery();

var queryTask = new esriQueryTask("https://......./rest/services/Assessor/Parcel_Viewer_external/MapServer/5");

query.where = "PARCEL = '0136400001'";

query.returnGeometry = false;

query.outFields = ["ADDRESS"];

queryTask.execute(query, resFunction);  <<debugger executes this line, and skips the callback "resFunction" function

<<results function here is skipped

function resFunction(results){ 

      console.log(results.features);

      for (var i = 0; i < results.features.length; i++){ 

            var attsObject = results.features.attributes; 

            console.log(attsObject);

       }

};

COMPLETE SAMPLE CODE FUNCTION LISTED HERE:

print: function() {

if (this.printSettingsFormDijit.isValid()) { //"advanced" form

//get entered values

var form = this.printSettingsFormDijit.get('value');

lang.mixin(form, this.layoutMetadataDijit.get('value')); //cte array of custom text layout elements

};

//execute print task

this.printparams.template = template;

this.printparams.extraParameters = {

};

var fileHandel = this.printTask.execute(this.printparams);

var result = new printResultDijit({

}).placeAt(this.printResultsNode, 'last');

result.startup();

domStyle.set(this.clearActionBarNode, 'display', 'block');

this.count++;

} // end of advanced form is valid

// if advanced form is not valid

else {

this.printSettingsFormDijit.validate();

}

}, //end of print function

Try adding an errback function to see if it reports anything.

as I've browsed other posts regarding this same problem, here's what I've found

queryTask.execute in a standard html page uses a separate function

Execute a QueryTask on page load 

queryTask.execute in JavaScript 4x uses      .then

QueryTask | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7 

queryTaks.execute from  JavaScript 3x in a Dojo esri widget uses      lang.hitch ( this, function ...

Example

queryTask.execute(query, lang.hitch(this, function(results) {

console.log(results.features);

}));

Here is the complete solution from the generic esri print widget with some custom code added, by moving the code outside of a for loop, I got better results...

//define a dojo class

define([

'dojo/_base/declare', //defines dojo classes //this simulates class based inheritance

'dijit/_WidgetBase',

'dijit/_TemplatedMixin',

'dijit/_WidgetsInTemplateMixin',

'esri/tasks/PrintTask',

'esri/tasks/PrintParameters',

...

var PrintDijit = declare([_WidgetBase, _TemplatedMixin, _WidgetsInTemplateMixin], {

...

print: function() {

if (this.printSettingsFormDijit.isValid()) {

...

//query for parcel address

var query = new esriQuery();

var queryTask = new esriQueryTask("https://gis.test.slco.org/slcogis/rest/services/Assessor/Parcel_Viewer_external/MapServer/5");

query.where = "PARCEL = '0136400001'";

query.returnGeometry = false;

query.outFields = ["ADDRESS"];

queryTask.execute(query, lang.hitch(this, function(results) {

console.log(results.features);

}));
