Whenever I attempt to use a geoprocessing tool I get an error saying "Tool has failed to open". For example, when I attempt to run the excel to table tool, this comes up
Not sure if a path is broken or what, but it is incredibly frustrating. When I try to run the tool in the Python window, Pro crashes.
What release of Pro are you using? Have you installed any other Esri software recently? New extensions?
1.3.1.
All I did was install the arcgis python API following these steps: Install and Set Up | ArcGIS for Developers
Could be related if the GP tools were working prior to the installation of the ArcGIS Python API. I'd recommend uninstalling the API cleanly, restart Pro and determine if the error persists.
Do you know of a resource that can guide me through doing a clean uninstall? I appreciate the help
Use the Control Panel for Windows to uninstall the program. It "should" remove the entire application.
I tried running the reverse of how i installed the API, that is
conda uninstall -c esri arcgis
but that didn't work either. Did you mean to uninstall Pro completely?
No but you could to test the theory that there's a Python conflict somewhere. If Pro was working properly before you installed the API and not after, then I suspect the API install is the culprit. Give it a shot - uninstall/reinstall Pro and see if the error persists. I'm not sure how to uninstall the API - could you do it through the Control Panel?
Wasn't able to use the CP to uninstall the API, and unfortunately uninstalling/reinstalling the entire program didn't work either. But I agree it must have been the API install- could be a conflict with a package in the env (see below)
There's some good things to read about conda/python/pro 1.3...could help...https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-8359-python-and-arcgis-pro-13-conda
