Shared project directory path fixup looks wrong

Question

I'm packaging a project with an embedded python toolbox with the intent of sharing it with others via ArcGIS Online. The python tool imports a module and it looks like the path to that module is being incorrectly changed during consolidation. The path to the imported module as I created it is: E:\ROW_as_habitat emp est_dir The path after the consolidation(I ran Package Product, uploaded the .ppkx to ArcGIS Online, then open the uploaded .ppkx in ArcGIS Online via the portal) is C:\Users\DMORRI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ArcGISProTemp1188\.. est_project_1\p20 est_dir I would expect the fixed up path to point into the Packages directory, but this is pointing into the temp directory. I do see the module in what I believe is the proper place in under the Packages directory. In any case the import fails when I run the tool from the packaged project. Here is the tool code as I created it in ArcGIS Pro # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import arcpy class Toolbox(object): def __init__(self): self.label = "Toolbox" self.alias = "" self.tools = [Tool] class Tool(object): def __init__(self): self.label = "Tool" self.description = "" self.canRunInBackground = False def getParameterInfo(self): params = None return params def isLicensed(self): return True def updateParameters(self, parameters): return def updateMessages(self, parameters): return def execute(self, parameters, messages): test_dir = r'E:\ROW_as_habitat emp est_dir' arcpy.AddMessage(test_dir) sys.path.append(test_dir) import logger as row_logger arcpy.AddMessage(row_logger.LOG_FILE) return‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Here is the code after the fixup # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # # Esri start of added imports import sys, os, arcpy # Esri end of added imports # Esri start of added variables g_ESRI_variable_1 = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scriptWorkspace,'..\test_project_1\p20\test_dir') # Esri end of added variables # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import arcpy class Toolbox(object): def __init__(self): self.label = "Toolbox" self.alias = "" self.tools = [Tool] class Tool(object): def __init__(self): self.label = "Tool" self.description = "" self.canRunInBackground = False def getParameterInfo(self): params = None return params def isLicensed(self): return True def updateParameters(self, parameters): return def updateMessages(self, parameters): return def execute(self, parameters, messages): test_dir = g_ESRI_variable_1 arcpy.AddMessage(test_dir) sys.path.append(test_dir) import logger as row_logger arcpy.AddMessage(row_logger.LOG_FILE) return‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Just wanted to say that I get the same kind of error in ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3 as well. I have a python toolbox with several python scripts in this folder structure (the pyt references the scripts in the Scripts folder):

- OwnershipCalculation
-- OvershipCalculation.pyt
-- Scripts
---- Calculation.py
---- ExportResults.py

When consolidating the toolbox, the Scripts folder is put inside a new folder with the same name as the parent folder:

- OwnershipCalculation
-- OvershipCalculation.pyt
-- OwnershipCalculation
----Scripts
------ Calculation.py
------ ExportResults.py

While the .pyt still references the old path.

It appeared that maybe this was fixed in ArcGIS Pro 2.6.0 (BUG-000116650) but further testing shows that it the generated path is still incorrect. It looks like ESRI may have tried to fix it because the generated path is different, but it is still incorrect. Here is the path as coded in the toolbox .pyt file that is included in the project IMPORT_DIR = r'C:\Git_Repository\ROW_as_habitat\row\consolidation'‍ Here is how it shows up after consolidation g_ESRI_variable_1 = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scriptWorkspace,'consolidation')‍ Which resolves to this directory once the project is open via the AGOL portal C:\Users\DMORRI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ArcGISProTemp16060\consolidation This is where it actually exists in the downloaded package C:\Users\dmorrison\Documents\ArcGIS\Packages\TEST_PROJECT_541a08\p20\consolidation

I finally got back to this and tried the relative path. That didn't work either.

The relative path of test_dir = os.path.normpath(__file__ + '/../../temp/test_project')

Got changed to C:\Users\dmorrison\Documents\ArcGIS\Packages\packaged_a1e8f8\p20\p_toolbox.pytC:\Users\DMORRI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\packaged\p20	est_project

For some reason it always changes the path to point in the user's temp directory instead of the user's package directory (where the files have been properly consolidated)
