ArcGIS Pro 2.5: The “can’t create output” error is repeatedly appearing with no logical reason when working with model builder,

I observed that the “can’t create output” error is repeatedly appearing with no logical reason when working with model builder.

Is this a filed bug?

does it exist already?

Did you try a new name?

Save, close and restart?

- It is happening very frequently (in my machine) with no reason and reported to me by other users as well!

- Closing\starting the Pro or even the machine doesn’t resolve the issue.

- No need to rename the output as this is managed automatically by the model builder

I never faced such issue in ArcMap

It might be localized, since I have never seen this behaviour

Such issues are very frequent and common in Pro and very rare in ArcMap.

You might want to try saving your rasters to the recommended *.tif format in a folder rather than rasters in a gdb

I have ever been saving my rasters in gdb in ArcMap and very rarely I encountered in such issues. Not sure if this is related to Pro

From My experiences Model builder depending on how it feels chooses to ignore the over write Exiting environment setting within ArcPro. I have had the same issues with the Manage Tile Cache tool where ArcPro locks itself from updating the tile cache to geoprocessing tool is designed to update.

Thank you Tim for sharing your experience

I would appreciate if we can hear from esri on this if it's already filed for consideration.

You will need to file a case with Tech Support if you think it is an issue

There is nothing on the site, but you can check there yourself

My ticket for the tile cache issue has been open for 6 months I wouldn't hold your breath.

For me, I prefer to post all issues I encounter in the forum. This is an efficient recourse to get them resolved. The Geonet community practitioners in addition of esri staff who keeps eyes fresh on our issues make our life easier

I regularly use stand-alone scripts with Arcpy, and for some reason in recent week or two existing scripts that worked with no issues previously, used on many occasions, are continually coming up with error: 000210 'cannot create output' even though nothing has changed in the formation of path/filename. The success of the scripts now appear to be much more dependent on where the data is being saved to (c: drive or network) where before this was not an issue at all. Even so the occurrence of the error appears to be pretty random, with the error occurring in the same script though writing to the same gdb or folder several times. My feeling is that it is something to do with lock files not being released, or kept when previously the script (arcpy) could deal with them.

I apologise in advance for as yet not having the time (I am extremely busy) to formally file a case with tech support, but at present it feels unfortunately quicker to script a work around in R. However, if the arcpy error persists I will do so.
