arcpy.RasterToPolygon works, but tool errors...

Question

I am having problems with:arcpy.RasterToPolygon_conversion(inRaster, outPolygons, "NO_SIMPLIFY")

It returns the following error message even though it is successfully creating the polygon dataset:

ExecuteError: ERROR 010157: Unable to open feature class

I can view the polygon output and it is exactly as expected. However, the code fails at this point and returns the error. Any thoughts?

Hi Matt,

Not sure what is causing the error (may need to contact Tech Support), but you can continue to execute the rest of your script using a try/except.  Ex:try:
    arcpy.RasterToPolygon_conversion(inRaster, outPolygons, "NO_SIMPLIFY")
except ExecuteError:
    pass

Hi Jake,

I was thinking I may need to do this exactly... contact Tech Support & pass the error. I will implement your suggestion and raise a support call.

Many thanks,
Matt
