ArcGIS Pro's Select tool should respect Current Workspace environment setting

[GraemeBrowning]

In ArcGIS Pro the Copy tool respects the Current Workspace environment setting. 

Buffer documentation says it does too. 

Project documentation says it does too.

However, the Select tool does NOT respect the Current Workspace.

I think that it should.

The Select tool does support the current workspace environment. The documentation will be added in an upcoming release.

For example, you can set the workspace to a geodatabase, then use short input and output names that refer to datasets within that geodatabase, and Select works fine.

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\...Data.gdb"
arcpy.analysis.Select(
    in_features="Streets_City",
    out_feature_class=r"Select_Tool",
    where_clause="STREET = 'ACADEMY '"
)

@GraemeBrowning, thanks for your note.

All geoprocessing tools that generate output have always honored the Current Workspace, whether that environment is listed in a tool's doc or not. An exception is when the tool developer coded the tool to behave differently.

To verify that Select honors the Current Workspace, display its Output's full path [a GP Option] and open the Environments window [from the Analysis tab] and expand Workspace.

I'm investigating a related, yet separate issue, that your request laid open and needs clarifying -- a good thing.

Hi, since the Select tool does support the current workspace environment, we updated the documentation topic to reflect that. You should see the updated documentation in Pro 3.3
