Error accessing Workforce project

[Anonymous User]

I am trying to access a Workforce project (new version) using the ArcGIS API for Python. I have upgraded ArcGIS Pro to version 2.6, cloned the default environment, and updated the arcgis package to 1.8.2.

Here is my code:

import arcgis

org_url = 'orgurlhere'
un = 'myUn'
pw = 'myPw'
itemId = 'itemid' #Service ItemId

gis = arcgis.gis.GIS(org_url,un,pw)

item = gis.content.get(itemId)
project = arcgis.apps.workforce.Project(item)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\myscripts\test_wf.py", line 11, in <module>
project = arcgis.apps.workforce.Project(item)
File "C:\Users\myun\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\arcgispro-py3-clone2\lib\site-packages\arcgis\apps\workforce\project.py", line 45, in __init__
self._assignment_schema = AssignmentSchema(self.assignments_layer)

File "C:\Users\myun\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\arcgispro-py3-clone2\lib\site-packages\arcgis\apps\workforce\project.py", line 233, in assignments_layer
return FeatureLayer(self.assignments_layer_url, self.gis)
File "C:\Users\myun\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\arcgispro-py3-clone2\lib\site-packages\arcgis\apps\workforce\project.py", line 183, in assignments_layer_url
return self._item_data['assignments']['url']
KeyError: 'assignments'

I am just starting out with the ArcGIS API for Python but this seems pretty basic. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong here?

Hi Matt Starry (SWLP)‌,

Can you please explain more about what you are trying to achieve?

Sure. I am exploring the ArcGIS API for Python. In this test case, I will attempt to update the status and geometry of a single worker (full code not provided).

It is my understanding that I have to get the Workforce item and set the project prior to updating the worker info. So, I am running into an issue right out of the gate.

You need to install the package Workforce package.

To install, use the following link. It also contains sample notebooks.

GitHub - Esri/workforce-scripts: A set of scripts to help administer Workforce projects.

After reading that page carefully, I see I have to update the ArcGIS API for Python to version 1.8.3 (pre-release). Once I did that, my script ran as expected with no errors. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
