Same python code works in Arcgis python window, but fails in pyScripter.

ChroAhmed

Same python code works in Arcgis python window, but fails in pyScripter.

This code works in the arcgis python window but in PyScripter,it shows a warring message of:

(Exceptions. IO Error: "CandidateStations_Centroid" does not exist)!

 

import arcpy

path=("C:/Users/fazeel/Desktop/ExampleCase/LeicesterCity_Leeds")

arcpy.env.workspace=path

fields=arcpy.ListFields("CandidateStations_Centroid")

for fld in fields:

    print fld.name

 

I wonder to know the reason of this warring message, any suggestion please?

 

Many thanks

It seems the reason this is working is because you have a layer named "CandidateStations_Centroid" in your ArcMap session, so it is recognized in the ListFields.

Your path is referencing a folder and not a GeoDatabase, so you would need to make sure you are pointing to the actual feature class which I am assuming is a shapefile (CandidateStations_Centroid.shp).
