Validate join gets ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

Ivy_Hinson

I pulled the validate join directly from esri but I keep getting the above error message when I run the script. When I try making the string into a float I get this error: ValueError: could not convert string to float: ''

# Join the feature layer to a table

val_res = arcpy.ValidateJoin_management(inFeatures, joinField, joinTable, joinField)

matched = int(val_res[0])

row_count = int(val_res[1])

print(arcpy.GetMessages())  # Tool messages about the Join

# Validate the join returns matched rows before proceeding

if matched >= 1:

    joined = arcpy.AddJoin_management(inFeatures, joinField, joinTable, joinField)

    # Copy the joined layer to a new permanent feature class

    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(joined, outFeature)

Code formatting ... the Community Version - Esri Community

line numbers would help

after... val_res =

add ...

print(val_res)

It is apparently returning something that can't be converted to an integer
