Hi,

I am having troubles with Geoserver 2.27.1 using the wms/animate endpoint, both 1.3.0 and 1.1.0.
Besides, I cannot find WMS Animator Options in WMS options. Has it go gone?

This is the exception:

No such operation wms null ANIMATE

this is my url:
var imageUrl2 = `

http://localhost:8081/geoserver/wms/animate?LAYERS=testing_the_waters:treesminas

&styles=testing_the_waters:treemine

&aparam=time

&avalues=2026-01-12,2026-01-13,2026-01-14

&format=image/gif;subtype=animated

&format_options=gif_loop_continuously:true;gif_frames_delay:1000`

I would appreciate any hint on how to make use of it.

kind regards

Yes,

the WMS animator is completely gone, it has been removed around 5 years ago.
If you need to create animations the “WPS download module” is the suggested way to go now, in particular, its DownloadAnimation process.

In security/services/New service access rule, animate method seems available inside wms service tough (version 2.27.1)

Oh, that’s just a list of method names in an XML files, that we forgot to clean up.

Does anyone have time to clean that up from the WMS module applicationContext.xml?

Cheers
Andrea
