AddRuleToTopology_management error

Question

AddRuleToTopology_management do not recognize a feature class, previously recognized and listed through arcpy.ListFeatureClasses() and checked by arcpy.CheckGeometry_manegement.

It is possible to add a new topology rule manually (arctoolbox > data management tools > topology > Addrule to topology) but not with Arcpy.

jordi xirgo‌ you should add features in your topology dataset before add rule on its.

As you done in your first code block:

AddFeatureClassToTopology_management(in_topology, in_featureclass, xy_rank, z_rank)

Did you find a solution to this issue?  I am encountering the exact same thing.

Doesn't seem to get old... I have the same problem, AddRuleToTopology_management is returning with ERROR 999999, even though topology is set with full path, and so is the feature class. arcpy.env.workspace = gdb topo_path = os.path.join(gdb, fd, topo) fc_path = os.path.join(gdb, fd, fc) arcpy.AddRuleToTopology_management(topo_path, "Must Not Intersect (Line)", fc_path)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ All paths are actually correct and of type String, but I always get 999999 in my face. That's in a stand-alone script I am developing in Eclipse. ArcGIS is in version 10.5 When debuging then I can see the error is raised in line 16214 in the management.py file. Since I went step by step through the process I was able to confirm that all paths went correct through the gp_fixargs() function, and optional argument not given have been also correctly taken of the arguments list. I assume the process is failing in the subsequent run of gp.AddRuleToTopology_management(). --> AddRuleToTopology 16208 from arcpy.geoprocessing._base import gp, gp_fixargs 16209 from arcpy.arcobjects.arcobjectconversion import convertArcObjectToPythonObject 16210 try: 16211 retval = convertArcObjectToPythonObject(gp.AddRuleToTopology_management(*gp_fixargs((in_topology, rule_type, in_featureclass, subtype, in_featureclass2, subtype2), True))) 16212 return retval 16213 except Exception, e: 16214 raise e‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
