Python script runs but doesn't change anything

Jim_Gay

I have been doing some testing with models that I want to schedule and to start with I created a basic model that only creates a feature class within one of my file geodatabases.

My toolbox name is: CDWGeocoding

The alias name is: CDWGeo

Model name: ImportTest

This model has no parameters.

I've been running the following script (which completes just fine).  The problem is the feature class is not being created.  This runs fine with ArcGIS just not when running through a script.

import arcpy

import os

from datetime import datetime

print("Starting toolbox import.....")

arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"C:\Users\JOEBOBSMITH\Documents\ArcGIS\CDWGeocoding.tbx")

print("Import Complete")

print("Model executing.....")

try:

#CDWGeo is the toolbox alias

    arcpy.ImportTest_CDWGeo

    print("Model complete.")

except:

    print arcy.GetMessages(2)

I've been using this page as a reference:

Does anyone see any problems with this script?  It seems pretty straight forward and simple.  I'm sure it's something simple that I am missing.  Thanks!

You are calling your function as a property of arcpy, not a function (not sure why it doesn't give an error, but it's not doing what you think it's doing). It should be:

arcpy.ImportTest_CDWGeo()
