GTFS to Public Transit Data model does not see/find GTFS dataset

Question

Hi,

I am working with "GTFS to Public Transit Data model" tool, and encountered a problem, when the tool cannot find the folder where I saved the GTFS dataset. In other words, I cannot select my GTFS folder in the "Input GTFS folder" part of the dialog window. If I select the acutall folder, I get a message that folder is empty. In Catalog pane, I can see the entire content of the folder, thought.

I solved this issue by placing my GTFS folder on the Desktop.   Then I could use the "GTFS to Public Transit Data model" tool. However, today this stopped working as well..

Does anyone has any suggestion what I need to do differently?

I am attaching print screen below.

Thanks a lot in advance...

I can't tell from your screenshot what the errors you're actually getting are.

The input to the tool is the folder containing your GTFS files, not the files themselves.  So you just need to give the tool the folder path.  If you're having trouble selecting it using Pro's Browse dialog, you could try navigating to that folder in the Windows File Explorer and copy/pasting the path from there into the tool dialog.

Alternatively (based on your other post), maybe the error you're getting is related to a problem with the data rather than a problem selecting the data...?

I am also having this problem. I have my txt files in the project and in a folder connection, which are displayed. W
hen I go to use the tool all the folders are empty.

Sometimes if you create or update folders while Pro is open, it doesn't notice the changes automatically.  Try clicking the refresh button on the dialog.  Does your folder appear?
