Hi, 

I'm receiving the following error when attempting to clone items: 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-92-d5f15aa1088b>", line 1, in <module>
    gis.content.clone_items(['4ef',  '5ef'])

  File "/Users/cour7816/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/arcgis/gis/__init__.py", line 2483, in clone_items
    clone._get_item_definitions(item, item_definitions)

  File "/Users/cour7816/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/arcgis/_impl/common/_clone.py", line 1556, in _get_item_definitions
    source = item._gis

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_gis'‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This is my simple code:

from arcgis.gis import GIS 
from arcgis.gis import ContentManager as content

gis = GIS("https://www.arcgis.com", "", "")

gis.content.clone_items(['4ef', '5ef'])

(Where 4ef and 5ef are my full item ids)

Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks!

Hi Courtney,

The list of items you pass into gis.content.clone_items needs to be a list of Item objects, not a list of their item ids. 

Like this:

item = source_gis.content.get("703892c0e9774b0bbdd74e59ef7aef68")
target_gis.content.clone_items([item])

Hi Courtney,

Like this:

item = source_gis.content.get("703892c0e9774b0bbdd74e59ef7aef68")
target_gis.content.clone_items([item])

Hi,

Have you seen this before:

item = gis.content.get('0063eabbf6b94220a6c671b898c454b9')

gis2.content.clone_items([item])

EDIT: actually looks like an issue with Notebook environment - works fine from an IDE such as Pycharm

See Can't invoke asyncio event_loop after tornado 5.0 update · Issue #3397 · jupyter/notebook · GitHub

I was able to work around this by forcibly installing an earlier version of tornado:

pip install tornado==4.5.3

Installing tornado 4.5.3 also resolved this for me.  I used conda.

For a Jupyter install via ArcGIS Pro 2.2 use conda to install tornado 4.5.3

In Command Prompt as Admin

Navigate to cd /d C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\Scripts

Type conda install tornado=4.5.3 -n arcgispro-py3
