overwriteOutput not working in 10.2.2

AmyKlug

Ever since upgrading to 10.2.2 my python code(s) tell me the file already exists and won't overwrite (using CopyFeatures or Copy). In ArcCatalog, I have my geoprocessing options set to overwrite and arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True in my code.

Anyone know of a solution???

Thanks

EDIT: I am copying one feature class to another to a file geodatabase -> feature dataset. Both feature classes and feature datasets have the same projection. Worked fine in 10.1

EDIT2: It won't overwrite using modelbuilder either. Get "Already exists" error

After some testing I think with 10.2.2 the feature dataset and the feature class can't have the same name; If they do/you want them to, you have to first delete the feature class then copy in the updated version.

I had the same problem using 10.1 going from tables in a gdb to feature dataset feature classes. Changing the output to something other than the name of the input table solved my two days of head scratching. Thanks!

When I try the code below which copies the source to dest1 and dest2 (featureclass in a feature dataset), it works without any problem in 10.2.2.

import arcpy
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True

source = r"C:\Forum\overwrite\source.gdb\myFC"
dest1 = r"C:\Forum\overwrite\dest1.gdb\myFC"
dest2 = r"C:\Forum\overwrite\dest2.gdb\featDS\myFC"

arcpy.Copy_management(in_data=source,out_data=dest1,data_type="FeatureClass")
arcpy.Copy_management(in_data=source,out_data=dest2,data_type="FeatureClass")

The only way I could reproduce this error was trying to write to the dest2 featureclass without using the feature dataset in the path. Like this:

dest2 = r"C:\Forum\overwrite\dest2.gdb\myFC"

Are you sure you are using the output feature dataset in referencing the output featureclass?

Kind regards, Xander

I tried copying a feature class from GDB to GDB and FDS to GDB it worked fine. GDB or FDS to FDS would not overwrite. There seems to be an issue with overwriting a feature class in a feature dataset (FDS).

I can’t reproduce – a rerun of a tool works:

>>> arcpy.Copy_management(in_data="C:/Temp/DougGolfCourses.gdb/GolfCourses",out_data="C:/Temp/DougGolfCourses.gdb/GolfCourses_Copy",data_type="FeatureClass")

>>> arcpy.env.overwriteOutput

True

>>> arcpy.GetInstallInfo()['Version']

u'10.2.2'
