Add a raster to a project file in Pro

IanMCDONALD

I'm converting Python standalone scripts from Desktop (10.6.1)  to Pro (2.3.2).  I can add a raster to an open Pro project file interactively by right clicking on the raster in the Catalog and choosing "Add to Current Map".  I would like to do this in a script and have tried two ways (one commented out below):

inRas <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'<projectDir>/Risks/riskv0'</SPAN>
outAPRX <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'<projectDir>/Reports/riskv0/riskv0.aprx'</SPAN>
templateFile <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'<projectDir>/MapTemplates/risksTemplate/risksTemplate.aprx'</SPAN>
aprx <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>mp<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ArcGISProject<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>templateFile<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
map <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>listMaps<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">0</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
map<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>addDataFromPath<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>inRas<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="comment token">#refLyr = map.listLayers()[1]</SPAN>
<SPAN class="comment token">#map.insertLayer(refLyr, inRas, "AFTER")</SPAN>
aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>saveACopy<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>outAPRX<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="keyword token">del</SPAN> aprx‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

When I use addDataFromPath, I receive a RuntimeError for line 6 with no further information.

The listLayers/insertLayer approach results in a ValueErr at line 8 for the inRas file.

I would be grateful for any advice on adding a raster to a map in Pro.

I have developed a workaround that writes the raster to a layer file and retrieves this version for the map insertion:

inRas <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'<projectDir>/Risks/riskv0'</SPAN>
outAPRX <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'<projectDir>/Reports/riskv0/riskv0.aprx'</SPAN>
templateFile <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'<projectDir>/MapTemplates/risksTemplate/risksTemplate.aprx'</SPAN>
aprx <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>mp<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>ArcGISProject<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>templateFile<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
map <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>listMaps<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">0</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
refLyr <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> map<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>listLayers<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="number token">1</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN>
arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>MakeRasterLayer_management<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>inRas<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"insertRas"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>SaveToLayerFile_management<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">"insertRas"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">'<tempDir>/insertRas.lyrx'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
insertLyr <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> arcpy<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>mp<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>LayerFile<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'<tempDir>/insertRas.lyrx'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
map<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>insertLayer<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>refLyr<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> insertLyr<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> <SPAN class="string token">"AFTER"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
aprx<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>saveACopy<SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN>outAPRX<SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN>
<SPAN class="keyword token">del</SPAN> aprx<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

 I trust it doesn't have to be this complicated!  Is there a way to work with the raster without writing/reading the temporary file?
