Create subfolder and FileGeodatabase?

RPGIS

Hi,

 

I have been trying to figure out why I keep running into this strange issue. I am not sure if I programmed the script incorrectly or if it happens to be an issue with establishing the subfolder first. Here is what I have so far.

 

 

import arcpy
import os

def CreateBaseData(location, names):
    subfolder_name = None
    database_name = None
    subfolder = None
    database = None

    for name in names:
        if '.gdb' in name:
            database_name = name
        else:
            subfolder_name = name

    for root, directory, filenames in os.walk(location):
        if directory:
            if directory[0] in names:
                if database_name == directory[0]:
                    database = os.path.join(root, directory[0])
                elif subfolder_name == directory[0]:
                    subfolder = os.path.join(root, directory[0])
                else:
                    pass
    
    if subfolder is None:
        subfolder = os.mkdir(os.path.join(location, subfolder_name))
    else:
        if database is None:
            database = arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(subfolder, database_name)
            
    return database

# Create folder and file geodatabase
WorkingFolder = r'*'

subfolderName = 'Updates'
databaseName = 'Updates.gdb'
names = [subfolderName, databaseName]

database = CreateBaseData(WorkingFolder, names)
print (database)

 

 

 

Here is what I get as a print statement for the first, then second execution.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Try this below. I have changed WorkingFolder for testing.

import arcpy
import os


def CreateBaseData(location, names):
    subfolder_name = None
    database_name = None
    subfolder = None
    database = None

    for name in names:
        if '.gdb' in name:
            database_name = name
        else:
            subfolder_name = name

    subfolder = os.path.join(location, subfolder_name)
    database = os.path.join(subfolder, database_name)
    if (os.path.isdir(subfolder) == False):
        os.mkdir(subfolder)
        arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(subfolder, database_name)
    else:
        if (arcpy.Exists(database) == False):
            arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(subfolder, database_name)

    return database


# Create folder and file geodatabase
WorkingFolder = os.path.dirname(__file__)

subfolderName = 'Updates'
databaseName = 'Updates.gdb'
names = [subfolderName, databaseName]

database = CreateBaseData(WorkingFolder, names)
print(database)
