Can no longer use a Result object to create Spatial Dataframe (ArcGIS API for Python 1.9.0)

After upgrading to ArcGIS API for Python 1.9.0 I can no longer use a Result object to create Spatial Dataframe.

*Apologies for not formatting the code as code. I'm not sure where that option went

Example code:

import arcpy
import pandas as pd
from arcgis.features import Feature

result_object = arcpy.Intersect_analysis([valid_input1, valid_input2], r'in_memory\output')

df = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_featureclass(result_object)

Error message:

ValueError: filename must be a `str`, `Path`, or `PurePath`, not <class 'arcpy.arcobjects.arcobjects.Result'>

The workaround is to use:

df = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_featureclass(r'in_memory\output')

instead of the Result object variable, but now I have to change my code

It looks like the elipsis is gone now

Works for me. Edge browser on a laptop.

They still haven't got around to putting the code formatting symbol on the main line yet.

I'm on chrome. No code formatting option

I'd love to know the rationale behind this change, this seems like a step backward?

Why is this flagged as the solution?

I have no idea, I thought you were being cheeky. As the OP you should have control to set what is the accepted solution.
