ArcGIS Pro - Python Toolbox

[Nur_Efarina_JaliJali]

Hello everyone,

Hi, I'm Nur from Malaysia. I'm a beginner in Python and currently experimenting with building a Python toolbox to automatically calculate yearly forest cover changes in my region. I created the script with help from ChatGPT.

When I run the tool, the analysis starts but I get the following error message:

"Workspace is invalid output workspace"

Can anyone help me understand and fix this issue? 

BIG THANKS in advance 🙂

The error reads as...

The specified catalog path for the output does not exist, or you may not have permissions to write.

So assuming the path exists and it is your computer and hence you have permission to write to your own folder, I would suggest navigating to a local folder on your computer with a much shorter path and filename and try again (eg c:\output\myoutput.tif)  Also, spaces and punctuation are often the source of breaking tool functionality

Thanks, I've tried to put a shorter part for output, but the same error occurred. Just a heads-up, I’ve updated my ArcGIS Pro to the latest version, if that influences the process. 

Thanks for your help ya.

If you can run the process manually and it works, that leaves the script.  It isn't clear what tool(s) you are using/calling in your script.  The error suggests a permissions issue if a short local filepath didn't help

How did you write your path?  If you did C:\Users\my.tif, change it to C:/Users/my.tif.   Or better yet use r"C:\Users\my.tif", the quotes help because of the spaces in your path.

Thank you so much for your response. I was occupied with some other tasks and now have some time to look back into this issue. May I know how can i change or edit the path?

The folder icons beside the input and output parameters allow you to navigate to an appropriate workspace (eg a folder or a geodatabase within a folder), then select the input or provide a name for the output where appropriate
