Trouble with append_fc_toservice.py sample

[gEYEzer]

Greetings,

I'm having trouble with the append_fc_to_service.py sample.

I'm not sure if I need to provide more parameters in the securityinfo dictionary than I am. Here are the items I have populated:

securityinfo['security_type'] = 'Portal' securityinfo['username'] = "" securityinfo['password'] = "" securityinfo['org_url'] = "http://.maps.arcgis.com"

I am hoping that 'Portal' works for ArcGIS Online? Do I need a referer url? A token url? No proxy urls or ports needed to get to the internet.

Here's the error I am getting: traceback gives me this line - fst = featureservicetools.featureservicetools(securityinfo) The error text is - TypeError: init() takes at least 3 arguments (2 given)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You org url should be securityinfo['org_url'] = "http://www.arcgis.com"

[gEYEzer]

Ah, Thanks Mike. I thought org_url meant the url for the organization, and I took the organization name out of the url in my original post..

I changed it to http://www.arcgis.com and I am still getting the same error for the same line.

[gEYEzer]

So I have passed each part of the securityinfo dictionary to the featureservicetools constructor and it gets past that line. Now I am getting an error saying

AttributeError: 'featureservicetools' object has no attribute '_valid'

[MikeMillerGIS]

it is hard to tell with looking at your entire script and the entire error message you are getting.

[MikeMillerGIS]

which version of ArcRest are you using? We changed the input to featureservicetools a long time ago, passing in the username should not work with 3.5 and master.

[gEYEzer]

I assume I am using 3.5.4. I just used the Download ZIP button here on GitHub.

[MikeMillerGIS]

Did you have a previous version on your machine, can you see what is in your python 2.7 folder. You may have an old version hanging around.

[gEYEzer]

Is there a way to tell what version I have? How do I start fresh?

[gEYEzer]

I just found my version by typing help(arcrest) - it says it is version 2.0.1. Can I just delete the arcrest folder out of the site-packages folder?

[MikeMillerGIS]

yes

[gEYEzer]

That was my problem. I deleted the arcrest folder and the arcresthelper folder from the site-packages folder, then reinstalled the latest version.

Thanks, Mike - and sorry for the bother.
