Geoprocessing Task with Feature Set derived from Feature Layer not working

[ShaneBergman]

I have a simple geoprocessing service written in python that converts a table to a CSV file.  It works fine in ArcMap and I can get it to work in Javascript when the input data is set as a constant value or selected form the layer list.  When I try to run it with user defined input (a Feature Set derived from a Feature Layer) the tool fails.  I am at a complete loss! 

The service is published at: http://arcgis-tamarackags101-235134627.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com/arcgis/rest/services/Emerson/Tabl...

Here is my code:

function exportAll(){
     var query = new esri.tasks.Query();
  query.where = "1 = 1";
  query.outFields = ["*"];
  //parcelsFS is my Feature Service Layer
  parcelsFS.queryFeatures(query, function (features) {
  var inputFeatures = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet();
        inputFeatures = features.features;
  var params= { "Table_Name":inputFeatures};
  gpTask.submitJob(params, completeCallback , statusCallback,function(error){
          //alert(error);
          //esri.hide(loading);
   });
  });
}

function completeCallback(jobInfo){
        if(jobInfo.jobStatus !== "esriJobFailed"){
          gpTask.getResultData(jobInfo.jobId,"Output_CSV", downloadFile);
        }
      }
      function statusCallback(jobInfo) {
        var status = jobInfo.jobStatus;
        if(status === "esriJobFailed"){
          alert(status);
          //esri.hide(loading);
        }
        else if (status === "esriJobSucceeded"){
          //esri.hide(loading);
        }
      }
      function downloadFile(outputFile){
        map.graphics.clear();
        var theurl = outputFile.value.url;
   console.log(theurl); 
        window.location = theurl;
      }

Hi Shane,

A quick tip is to surround your code in CODE tags (the # icon) to avoid stripping off the formatting.

I can get it to work in Javascript when the input data is set as a constant value or selected form the layer list. When I try to run it with user defined input (a Feature Set derived from a Feature Layer) the tool fails. I am at a complete loss!

 

Try putting a breakpoint in this section and stepping through line-by-line:

    parcelsFS.queryFeatures(query, function (features) {
        var inputFeatures = new esri.tasks.FeatureSet();
        inputFeatures = features.features;
        var params= { "Table_Name":inputFeatures};    
        gpTask.submitJob(params, completeCallback , statusCallback,function(error){
            //alert(error);
            //esri.hide(loading);
        });
    });

and verify that what you're doing here makes sense in all instances. If you're sometimes inputting a featureLayer, and at other times a featureSet, you may find that this is causing the problem.
