hi guys, I am using ArcMap 10.5. I have a tool that adds the name of the location automatically based on the name of the folders (where are located the mxd and the gdb) and the date that has manual input. The fact, I ran the script in stand-alone and it worked perfectly. However, with the python addin included it doesn't work... I am sure it works after the "try:" but before it I don't know what am I doing wrong. Please can someone tell what is it. cheers Pedro here is the code: import arcpy import pythonaddins import os , sys , string import arcpy . da from arcpy import env # needed for env.workspace definition import traceback # needed to log errors import datetime import uuid class Island_1_upload ( object ) : """Implementation for Island_1_addin.combobox (ComboBox)""" def __init__ ( self ) : self . items = [ ] self . editable = True self . enabled = True self . dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWWWWWWWW' self . width = 'WWWWWWWWWWWW' def onEditChange ( self , text ) : global imageDate imageDate = text def onEnter ( self ) : import arcpy import pythonaddins import os , sys , string import arcpy . da from arcpy import env # needed for env.workspace definition import traceback # needed to log errors import datetime import uuid if any ( char . isalpha ( ) for char in imageDate ) == 1 : pythonaddins . MessageBox ( 'Wrong characters in the date. Please try again!' , 'Warning' , 0 ) elif len ( imageDate ) <> 10 : pythonaddins . MessageBox ( 'Wrong characters in the date. Please try again!' , 'Warning' , 0 ) else : try : startTime = datetime . datetime . now ( ) print startTime date = imageDate error_code = 0 # Checking the length of string values - if the input parameters defined wrongly, the process will not start if len ( date ) <> 10 : RaiseWarning ( "PROBLEM: Wrong date: + date + ">. It has to be exactly ten characters long." ) error_code = error_code + 1 try : datetime . datetime . strptime ( date , '%Y/%m/%d' ) except ValueError : RaiseWarning ( "PROBLEM: Wrong date format: + date + ">. It has to be year/month/day -> yyyy/mm/dd." ) error_code = error_code + 1 # mxd and environment; and gdb sources and targets

That's the only thing I would be doing; starting at the bottom and either eliminating or commenting out blocks of code and see where it finally loads into your addin; then focus your efforts on the the last block eliminated. Trouble shooting is an iterative process.

Just cleaned... but still the same things is happening... there is no area to write date and enter import arcpy import os , sys , string import arcpy . da from arcpy import env # needed for env.workspace definition import traceback # needed to log errors import datetime import pythonaddins import uuid def count_records ( fc ) : """ Create table from FC in order to speed up the count process, which is slow because the complexity of the GDB, return: the number of records in the FC in string format """ fc_view = "in_memory\\" + fc + "_view" if arcpy . Exists ( fc_view ) : arcpy . Delete_management ( fc_view ) arcpy . MakeTableView_management ( fc , fc_view ) count = str ( arcpy . GetCount_management ( fc_view ) . getOutput ( 0 ) ) arcpy . Delete_management ( "in_memory" ) return count def RaiseWarning ( msg ) : """ Print and log warning message """ arcpy . AddWarning ( msg ) def SysExit ( msg ) : """ Print and log error message before interrupt script """ arcpy . AddError ( msg ) script_end = datetime . datetime . now ( ) sys . exit ( ) class upload_1 ( object ) : """Implementation for 20200324_upload_1_addin.combobox (ComboBox)""" def __init__ ( self ) : self . items = [ ] self . editable = True self . enabled = True self . dropdownWidth = 'WWWWWWWWWWWW' self . width = 'WWWWWWWWWWWW' def onEditChange ( self , text ) : global imageDate imageDate = text def onEnter ( self ) : if any ( char . isalpha ( ) for char in imageDate ) == 1 : pythonaddins . MessageBox ( 'Wrong characters in the date. Please try again!' , 'Warning' , 0 ) elif len ( imageDate ) != 10 : pythonaddins . MessageBox ( 'Wrong characters in the date. Please try again!' , 'Warning' , 0 ) else : try : startTime = datetime . datetime . now ( ) print startTime # Script arguments - input parameters ## arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) date = imageDate # mxd and environment; and gdb sources and targets mxdInicio = arcpy . mapping . MapDocument ( 'current' ) mxdPath = mxdInicio . filePath issue_code = os . path . basename ( mxdInicio ) issue_code = issue_code [ 0 : 19 ] issue_code = issue_code . replace ( "_" , " " ) mxdPathList = mxdPath . split ( os . sep ) IssueGDB = "\\" . join ( mxdPathList [ : - 1 ] )

Okay. I believe you! Try eliminating some of the code and see if your addin loads. For example, take out the second Try except block, etc.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

what is wrong with this

Hi,

believe me it is there in the end of the rest of the script.

I fixed the != .

the result of all this after creating the add-in is in the picture

I don't see an except partner for line 41 try.... Also, line 21 shows an invalid syntax when I paste your def into spyder.

hi,

the 'try' has the 'except'. Like i said the everything works on standalone mode after the first try... but I cannot make it work as a tool or button in the arcmap (addin).

that's why i asked what is wrong on that first part before the 'try'.

DanPatterson_Retired

nested try-except blocks are iffy and your first one seems to be missing an except. Did you truncate the rest of the code when copying?
