Have run into an error I have never seen before nor have any clue how to resolve at this stage. ModelBuilder is telling me the input dataset I have has spaces in it. As you can see from the screenshot, no it does not.

I have tried to:

  1. Restart Arc
  2. Save the model as a new version
  3. Write the input file to a folder and geodatabase path with no spaces anywhere present
  4. Change the name of the input dataset on a re-export to a singular word
  5. Restart my computer
  6. Uninstall and reinstall ArcPro

 

All to no avail. Would love guidance, been doing this for 8 years and never seen something like this happen.

I am having the same problem using the geoprocessing contour tool.

Still running into this issue in weird ways. I used the Extract By Mask tool this morning and, instead of providing a mask layer, I decided to create new features within the current map to use as the input. When I did this, ArcPro automatically generated a layer and put that as the mask layer. Surprise, surprise - the error appeared. In this situation, we have ArcPro's self-created named layer throwing this issue.

Ran into this issue today, using the DEM Reconditioning tool from the ArcHydro toolbox.

Output path is: C:\Users\sxxxxx.sxxxxx\Desktop\tempgis\tempras.gdb\AgreeDEM

Error is:

374: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid.
ERROR 010818: The output path contains spaces.
Failed to execute (EucAllocation).
('line 290', 'c:\\program files\\arcgis\\pro\\Resources\\ArcToolbox\\Scripts\\ArcHydro\\demreconditioning.py', '')

I'm having the same issue using the Extract by Attributes tool. I've checked the filepaths, renamed the raster, it's happening with the automatic ESRI name too.

I am experiencing this issue as well in the Visibility Geoprocessing tool with a path that contains zero spaces. When I use the same inputs on a colleague's computer, the error does not appear and she is able to run the tool. If it is a Windows issue, I have attached both mine (Dee) and my colleague's (Dessert) system information to help troubleshoot the issue.
