ERROR 000732 IN ModelBuilder Add Join

Iron_Mark

Hi,

I am building a model with modelbuilder and both the ADD JOIN and JOIN FIELD geoprocessing tools are failing with:

ERROR 000732: Input Layer or Table View: xyz.shp does not exist or is not supported

This error comes for both the shapefile and the csv that I am trying to join.

This seems not to happen when I select the Input table and join table directly from the project.

I need to automate shapefiles and table that are not loaded in the project.

Any idea how to solve this?

Many thanks

did you validate the join in the model? apparently it can't be found.

Setting paths to data in Python—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

perhaps showing your validated model and specifying how, and where, you are running it would help

It could be this bug

I don't use model builder much any more, but I suspect that you will have to make the folder a model parameter

Thanks for your help both.

Dan, I think that is probably the bug that you linked, I used join field and it has worked without validating the join.

As a bonus question, do you know how can I do to make the model accept data from a folder that has different names?

I need the model to pick the shapefile from a specific folder and the name of the shapefile could be different. I don't want to rename the shp everytime

The Input to these tools is a Layer or Table View. In a Model, use Make Feature Layer to convert the input Feature Class (shapefile) to a Layer FIRST, then use the output Layer as the Input to the join.

It "works" in the Project because the Feature class has been added to the map as a Layer.
