Using ArcGIS Pro I built a model to create a file geodatabase and import shapefiles to it. When run in Model Builder, it completes successfully. Then I exported the model to a Python script and ran it from a command prompt. It went through the motions but instead of importing the shapefiles, it merely copied the shapefiles to the folder where the newly-created fgdb is located, leaving the fgdb empty. #Anyone have an idea what went wrong?
Here is the Python script generated by ArcGIS Pro. I have changed the actual folder and file names.
