Token Required - Error 499: When Attempting to Query Feature Layer (Arcgis 1.8.2)

Hello - please see below:

from arcgis.gis import GIS

gis = GIS("https://portalname.domain.com/webadapter_name", 
          client_id='1234_sample_client_id', 
          verify_cert=False)

This successfully opens up a browser and I login with IWA…

print("Successfully logged in as: " + gis.properties.user.username)

This returns a success message and I am able to explore my content in the Portal

l = gis.content.get('1234567_item_sample_id')
fl = l.layers[0]

I am able to get content (that is not shared/public) and use methods such as l.get_data()

fl.query(where="1=1")

This is where the failure occurs, and I am given an Exception “Token Required (Error Code: 499”

Full failure below:

  File "<ipython-input-9-e7d33acb2760>", line 3, in <module>
    fl.query(where="1=1")

    record_count = self._query(url, params, raw=as_raw)

I’ve been experiencing the same issue with arcgis version 1.8.x. Digging through the code, it appears that several FeatureLayer methods, such as query, issue a call to a Connection object’s post method, which requires a token to be specified. All those calls set the token parameter to self._token; however, _token is apparently not being set for a FeatureLayer object. The token does exist in the FeatureLayer’s Connection attribute (ie. self._con.token). I’m able to monkey patch FeatureLayer by adding a property that returns the token:

from arcgis.features import FeatureLayer
FeatureLayer._token = property(lambda self: self._con.token)

Querying then works properly.
