Failing to add layer to ArcGIS #15

Closed giovannicimolin closed 1 year ago

giovannicimolin commented 1 year ago

Did anyone bump into this issue before? I'm trying to use this to integrate with ArcGIS, but I always get an error like this:

The WFS service, URL, can't be added to the map. It's either not available or you have entered an invalid URL for the type of layer you want to reference.

When looking at the requests, I see that ArcGIS tries to access WFS 1.0.0, 1.1.0 and 2.0.0 before displaying the error message (only the 2.0.0 request succeeds). Is there any way to force ArcGIS to only use the 2.0.0 version? Did anyone run into a similar issue?

Btw, this works perfectly on QGIS, but refuses to work on ArcGIS.

Hi, we ran into the same issues with ArcGIS online. We contacted ESRI. They told us that this is a problem with ArcGIS online. However, by default ArcGIS online start with the classic map viewer. It is possible to switch to a new type of mapviewer (at the top right of the screen). This new mapviewer can work with the WFS from django-gisserver.

@jjmurre Oh, you're right! It works only if added directly in the map using this option ("OGC WFS"): image

Thanks for the pointer!

I also want to note that trying to add this to the Content doesn't work and fails with the same error. I'll try opening a support case and see if they get this fixed.
