raster.save gives RuntimeError: ERROR 010240

Hi,

I am running simple code:

from arcpy.sa import Raster

arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")

print("Creating delta_t_veg raster...")

d2 = Raster(D2_VEG) # Replace with the actual path to your raster

d1 = Raster(D1_VEG) # Replace with the actual path to your raster

delta_t = d2 - d1

scratch_save_path = f"delta_t_veg_new "

delta_t.save(scratch_save_path)

and it returns an error:
RuntimeError: ERROR 010240: Could not save raster dataset to delta_t_veg_new with output format FGDBR.

When I first save the raster to tif and then trying to upload it to gdb with

arcpy.CopyRaster_management(scratch_save_path, final_save_path)

I get:

arcgisscripting.ExecuteError: ERROR 999999: Something unexpected caused the tool to fail. Contact Esri Technical Support (http://esriurl.com/support) to Report a Bug, and refer to the error help for potential solutions or workarounds. General function failure No spatial reference exists. Failed to execute (CopyRaster).

I have double-checked paths, I have tried shorter paths for gdb, the workspace is set to my gdb, and delta_t is legit (I can save it to .tif to disk).

Can someone help? It seems like a path issue, are raster tools sensitive to paths on Windows? When running raster calculator in ArcGIS Desktop it is working. When running above code in notebook, it is not....

I have further tried to investigate and when I move my .tif file way up in working directory CopyRaster function is working:

arcpy.CopyRaster_management(r"c:\scratch\delta_t_veg_temp.tif", r"c:\clip.gdb\xxx")

Is there any way to overcome this issue? I am creating a Python tool that should be part of the ArcGIS Desktop project and will be run on different machines by different users.

Thank you!

Hi,

after further investigation, the problem was caused by underscore in the name of save raster. I.e. changing
scratch_save_path = f"delta_t_veg_new" to scratch_save_path = f"deltaTVegNew" solved the issue. 🙂

I think this is a kind of bug, which should be fixed ...

Thank you!
