Map document has no len()

PSGeo

well... I have been trying to use add-in to make simple button that had a date and current mxd name to features in the fcs in the gdb in use. still not working. I really don't understand how to use making addin.

I decided to give it a go using Arctoolbox as it looks simpler.

In first place with three input variables: date; file location (folder path); and file.

It works.

But I want to reduce the number of input variables. I was thinking to use 'current' and skip the file location and file manual input. The help on this says is that is not possible to use it in the background, therefore I made it run on foreground... however when I tried gave the following error.

I need some guidance on this because maybe it is impossible to use toolbox for this or maybe there is a workaround... anything.

cheers

What do you get with

print (arcpy.AddMessage(mxdInicio.filePath))

Then add these lines to your script and devolve the project path relative to the running script in the toolbox.

import sys

script = sys.argv[0]

Then you can find the location of the script and if your project is located 'relative' to it, you should be able to construct the project name and location.

script

<SPAN class="string token">'C:\\Git_Dan\\npgeom\\_load_sample_.py'</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

i have no arcgis pro

DanPatterson_Retired

ArcGIS Pro has it... you can even open a Jupyter Notebook in your project for quick testing and 'dir' away on objects to find out what they have.

Pro has some nifty features... don't know if they are available in arcmap

PSGeo

the mxd path is from the current mxd... how do I get it? if the :

arcpy<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">.</SPAN>mapping<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">.</SPAN>MapDocument<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">(</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #669900; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">'current'</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">)</SPAN>

apparently doesn't work for toolboxes.

I don't set it anywhere else in the script

bixb0012

You appear to want to work with the MXD path, so why not just use the mxdPath variable that you have already defined and set?

PSGeo

indeed... the print (arcpy.AddMessage (mxdInicio)) gives me this:

I assume that 'current' doesn't work even if make the tool to run in foreground.

do u agree?

Did you try to print issue_code? If it doesn't print anything, it can't be sliced on the next line since it has no length and you can only slice things that have a __len__ property
