env.overwriteOutput in Arc GIS Pro

JoeBorgione — Tue, 24 Dec 2019 18:47:44 GMT

People have raised an issue with arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = true after upgrading to arcGIS 2.4. See: https://community.esri.com/thread/236217-envoverwriteoutput-not-working-after-upgrade-to-pro-24

I haven't run into this issue until today, after upgrading from 2.4 to Arc GIS Pro 2.4.3. Is this a known bug?

arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True # as in the boolean not the lowercase text

Bug? can't find one, but my 'check' works and this is what I use.
