I am using the geoprocessing tool Spatial Join (not to be confused with the right-click on layer > Join > spatial join). I have two polygons that are not near the base polygon. My spatial join clause is finding features within 55 meters of the base polygon, but it picks up these two features as well and I have no idea why. I have buffered the base polygon by 55 meters and it doesn't touch those two polygons (I have also buffered in the other direction, two polygons to base). I have also entered a distance of 0 and I still get these results.. I have also tried changing the method to intersect and again, still get these results... The projections are the same for each layer (USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic). This is driving me nuts because it's very important this tool performs correctly for a production script. Measured... Buffered... ... View more

I have been attempting to query all features in a layer and just return one field. Is this allowed? I cannot get it to work with any of my map services, but examples I have looked at in the API reference documentation do not always specify where clauses or objectIds to query, so that leads me to think it's allowed. I am trying to run this snippet, but every time I run it, it goes to the errorResults function: var printQLyr = new QueryTask("https://www.xxxxxx.org/xxxxxx/rest/services/HBM/HBD/MapServer/3"); printQuery = new Query(); printQuery.outFields = ["Name"]; printQLyr.execute(printQuery, printQResults, errorResults); function printQResults(featureSet) {     var resultFeatures = featureSet.features;     console.log(resultFeatures[0]); } function errorResults(message) {     console.log(message); }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This is the error message I receive (entirely unhelpful): Error     at Object.A.m.load (init.js:1028)     at init.js:87     at c (init.js:103)     at d (init.js:103)     at b.Deferred.resolve.callback (init.js:105)     at c (init.js:104)     at d (init.js:103)     at b.Deferred.resolve.callback (init.js:105)     at init.js:92     at h (init.js:107)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Even when I run this in the ArcGIS JS sandbox, I receive this error. I receive this same error for any map service I try (I change the outField when I change the map service so I know that's not causing an error).  Additionally, if I add either a line like  printQuery.where = "StateID = 'VA'"‍;‍‍ or printQuery.objectIds = [1];‍‍ The query will run perfectly fine and return the records. I can run the query in the REST API as long as I specify something in the "where" box or the "objectIds" box. If I specify nothing but an outField it will not return anything but I do not get an error message either. How do I query all features in a dataset? Feature layer settings: ... View more

I know you can adjust the column count for the whole legend with the method adjustColumnCount(), but I am wondering if you can adjust the number of columns for a single legend item instead of the whole legend? I am creating a custom print task where users can select what layers they want to include and how to symbolize them - if they choose to symbolize it in a certain way (they choose a particular renderer), I would like to be able to split that layer into two columns in the legend. There is a different instance where if they choose a different renderer for the layer, it does not need to be split into two columns. Telling what renderer they choose is easy, it's figuring out how to apply a column count to a specific legend item that I'm not sure how to do. ... View more

I am writing output data to the scratch geodatabase in a script - it was working great before but now it is no longer working and I'm trying to figure out if it's an IDE problem or something else. When I write data to the scratch geodatabase, it is treating it as a folder and appending ".shp" to the end of the output data instead of treating it as a file geodatabase and writing the output data as a feature class like it's supposed to. Additionally, it will run through the first tool call and write the output, but then the second tool call results in an error because it's trying to append ".shp.shp" to the output data name which is obviously invalid... I'm leaning towards this being an IDE problem because the script works great if I add the toolbox to ArcMap and run it inside there. Has anybody else seen this fishy behavior using PyCharm?  The problem script: scratchGDB = arcpy.env.scratchGDB #First tool call appends .shp to singlepart #output looks like this: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\scratch.gdb\singlepart.shp svyPtFC = arcpy.MultipartToSinglepart_management(multipartFL, os.path.join(scratchGDB, 'singlepart')) #Second tool call tries to append .shp.shp to FinalOutput #Error says: ExecuteError: ERROR 000210: Cannot create output #C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\scratch.gdb\FinalOutput.shp.shp #ERROR 000354: The name contains invalid characters filename = os.path.join(scratchGDB, "FinalOutput") svyPtFC = arcpy.Eliminate_management(sliverFL, filename)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ It truly does write the shapefile out into the geodatabase folder: If I run this code to check if it's a geodatabase I get this: scratchGDB = arcpy.env.scratchGDB desc = arcpy.Describe(scratchGDB) print desc.workspaceType #Prints "FileSystem"‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ How do I get it to be seen as a file geodatabase when running in an IDE? ...

I've never created a feature table before so I'm sure I'm just missing something small, but when I implement the Feature Table widget it loads in the appropriate place but doesn't show any records. I've tried a few different things, but nothing has worked yet.  Currently, my code looks like this: //Add the habitat patches feature layer var patchesFL = new FeatureLayer("URL", {     refreshInterval: 10,     definitionExpression: 'EXTRACT(YEAR FROM "ObsvDate") = ' + currentYear,     visible: false,     infoTemplate: patchesPopupBox,     outFields: ["*"] }); patchesFL.setMinScale(500000); //Add the feature layers to the map object map.addLayer(patchesFL); //Create attribute table var attrTable = new FeatureTable({     featureLayer: patchesFL,     editable: false,     outFields: ["StateID", "Point", "PatchNum", "IsDeveloped", "CropTypeID", "CropResidue", "CnpyOver12",         "CnpyDecid", "CnpyConif", "ShrubCover", "ShbHiStemsDens", "GrassCover", "ForbCover",         "FrbAsProtect", "ForbSpecies", "BareGround", "HerbHeight", "Overstory",         "Understory", "OfficialQH", "ObsvDate", "ObsvType"],     map: map }, "attribute-table"); attrTable.startup();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I have attempted to add this line because I saw it in a bunch of examples, and changed the visibility property to true when instantiating the feature layer: mode: FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,‍ I have also tried changing the feature table options to be in quotes because I found it done both ways in the documentation and wasn't sure which was right: //Create attribute table var attrTable = new FeatureTable({     "featureLayer": patchesFL,     "editable": false,     "outFields": ["StateID", "Point", "PatchNum", "IsDeveloped", "CropTypeID", "CropResidue", "CnpyOver12",         "CnpyDecid", "CnpyConif", "ShrubCover", "ShbHiStemsDens", "GrassCover", "ForbCover",         "FrbAsProtect", "ForbSpecies", "BareGround", "HerbHeight", "Overstory",         "Understory", "OfficialQH", "ObsvDate", "ObsvType"],     "map": map }, "attribute-table"); attrTable.startup();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ None of these changes have affected anything. I have made sure to zoom into my map to the appropriate extent where the feature layer is visible to see if that did the trick, it doesn't.  Do I need to have records selected in order for anything to show up in the table? This is what I get when the map loads, you can see the Feature Table widget exists based on the ability to turn on/off fields but no records show up: ... View more
