Hello - I upgraded to Pro to 2.4 yesterday and lo and behold my python scripts for overwriting feature classes using the FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion tool no longer honors the arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True environment setting.
A whole bunch of my data management scripts depend on this!
The script now keeps telling me that my feature class already exists. Of course it does, I'm doing an overwrite. Or at least I did.
This was working just fine at 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.x
I can't use Copy for most of my layers because I don't want bring over (in some cases) dozens of related tables....
Example:
import sys, os, arcpy, time, smtplib
from datetime import date, timedelta
from arcpy import env
message = ""
current_time = time.asctime()
todaysDate = date.today()
priorYear = str(todaysDate - timedelta(days=547))
starting_time = time.time()
arcpy.SetLogHistory(False)
arcpy.env.configKeyword= "DEFAULTS"
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
arcpy.env.maintainAttachments = False
try:
env.workspace = r"\\scggisis01pw\\agsfed\\data-store\\VantagePoint\\Data"
coordinate_system = r"C:\\StageDbsAE\\CoordinateSystems.gdb\\WebMercator"
env.outputCoordinateSystem = coordinate_system
env.geographicTransformations = "NAD_1983_HARN_To_WGS_1984_2"
for fc in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses():
outLocation = r"\\scggisis01pw\\agsfed\\data-store\\VantagePoint\\Data\\VpAnno.gdb\\VantagePointLayers"
outFC = fc[:-4]
print (outLocation + "\\" + outFC)
arcpy.FeatureClassToFeatureClass_conversion(fc, outLocation, outFC)
message = message + "\n" + "Added Features: " + outFC
except Exception:
import traceback, sys
tb = sys.exc_info()[2]
e = sys.exc_info()[1]
message = message + "\n" + "Line %i" % tb.tb_lineno
message = message + "\n" + str(e)
