Have you found any way to override or supress these other progressor messages from Esri?

When updating the ArcGIS Server site references for a web map in ArcGIS Online, display the http response from the new url. I was attempting to update the site references with a URL that had a new, valid domain name but the service names were different. It would have been helpful to see "404: Page not found" or "500: Internal Server Error" instead of a generic "Layers unable to update" message.

I commented out the new Message({...}); lines in _showUnreachableLayersTitleMessage: function() and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks!

The web map I'm using for my app has several layers hosted on our ArcGIS Server. One of the layers is a secured service while the rest are not. We deployed the app to everyone in our organization but only certain groups have access to the secured layer. Previously, this worked great because Web AppBuilder just "silently" threw an error in the console claiming it couldn't find the secured layer but now it looks like there's a new "feature" that displays a message claiming the layer cannot be added to the map. Is there any way to suppress or hide this message?

Is there a caching task in progress? Or maybe you have a service that is configured to create the cache on demand and there's been a bunch of activity in a new area so it's trying to create the cache? Do you have any geoprocessing tools published that something is calling? Any other scheduled tasks that run on that server? Check and see if maybe Windows is doing an update.

You might as well start with ArcGIS Pro. If you find something you can't do in ArcGIS Pro, then you can look at using ArcGIS Desktop until the functionality is available in ArcGIS Pro. The two products (Pro and Desktop) look fairly different but ArcGIS Pro is newer. While ArcGIS Desktop will still be supported for "a long time", it won't be getting any major new features (mostly just bug fixes and minor enhancements). ArcGIS Pro will live on past ArcGIS Desktop and is getting new functionality with each release.

Even if it's just shared with other layers in the web map, this would be extremely useful.

Thank you for taking the time to debug that. May I ask what method you used for testing/debugging? I'd like to reproduce your results.

That's what I'm doing. However, when drawing a line I get three console errors and five console errors on polygons; something like: [esri.views.input.InputManager] There is no InputHandler group registered under the name `viewEvents_13` Point sketches don't seem to have the error.

</html> It seems to work but I'm not sure how best to remove the on pointer move event listener for the view. If you look at the console log, there are errors when drawing line or polygons. How do I remove the event listener so it doesn't keep running? I also tried using event.stopPropagation() but it looks like that doesn't actually remove the listener and might cause memory issues in the browser because it keeps running.
