OSError in exportToPNG()

-_- — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 08:19:19 GMT

A script I've been using until now is no longer working.
It's a script that outputs the active layout to a png file.
The cause seems to be exportToPNG(), so I tried extracting just that part, but I get the same error.
Below is the relevant code.

import arcpy import os arcpy.env.overwriteOutput=True aprx=arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") activeLayout=aprx.activeView activeLayout.exportToPNG(r"D:\test.png",resolution=300)

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Python\PRO\test.py", line 12, in <module> activeLayout.exportToPNG(r"D:\test.png",resolution=300) File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\utils.py", line 186, in fn_ return fn(*args, **kw) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\_mp.py", line 3480, in exportToPNG Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Python\PRO\test.py", line 12, in <module> activeLayout.exportToPNG(r"D:\test.png",resolution=300) File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\utils.py", line 186, in fn_ return fn(*args, **kw) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\Resources\ArcPy\arcpy\_mp.py", line 3480, in exportToPNG return convertArcObjectToPythonObject(self._arc_object.exportToPNG(*gp_fixargs((out_png, resolution, False, color_mode, transparent_background, embed_color_profile, clip_to_elements), True))) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ OSError: D:\test.png

When I look at the output folder, "test.png" is output for a moment and then disappears, and after it disappears I get an error.
What's strange is that, depending on the layout, I can output without any errors using this code.

I'm really stuck. Are there any possible reasons for this?

Additional note.

I found that this error occurs only when a specific color profile is used in the layout color management, and png output is not possible. I contacted support and they confirmed the same phenomenon.

It may not be a python problem.
