[SOLVED] APS DataViz Extensions Demo: I got an error "The file extension loaded in the viewer is not supproted."

APS DataViz Extensions Demo: I got an error "The file extension loaded in the viewer is not supproted."

I tried replicating this: https://github.com/autodesk-platform-services/aps-iot-extensions-demo

But when I enter my APS_MODEL_VIEW ID in the config, I got an error stating: “The File Extension Loaded into the viewer is not supported. Try a different file.”

I tried leaving the APS_MODEL_VIEW empty, but as a result, the sensors would not appear.

Anyone experienced this before?

Solution

The implementation of aps-iot-extension-demo sample doens't support empty view-id. If you want to do so, please change viewer.js a little bit like the one below.

export function loadModel(viewer, urn, guid) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
        function onDocumentLoadSuccess(doc) {
            const viewable = guid ? doc.getRoot().findByGuid(guid) : doc.getRoot().getDefaultGeometry(true); //!<<< the `getDefaultGeometry(true)` will load first master view the viewer finds.
            resolve(viewer.loadDocumentNode(doc, viewable));
        }
        function onDocumentLoadFailure(code, message, errors) {
            reject({ code, message, errors });
        }
        Autodesk.Viewing.Document.load('urn:' + urn, onDocumentLoadSuccess, onDocumentLoadFailure);
    });
}
