Delete and Update operations in sequence to be followed

[Rohanrajan]

Hi,

I have been trying to select a number of features, delete some of them and update the rest. Like

edit = arcpy.da.Editor(workspace)

edit.startEditing(with_undo=True, multiuser_mode=False)

arcpy.AddMessage("Edit Session Started")

logging.info(f"Edit Session Started in : {workspace}")

try:

for id in Ids:

if id != Ids[0]

SearchCuror():

  UpdateCursor()     

    deleteRow()

except arcpy.ExecuteError as e:

arcpy.AddMessage(f"Error: {e}") 

for id in Ids:

SearchCuror():

  UpdateCursor()     

    updateRow()

edit.stopOperation()

edit.stopEditing(save_changes=True)

But it encounters an error: Need an edit session

What am I doing wrong

Any advice is much appreciated

Please edit the question to place the code in a code block (click on "..." then "</>" in the second row of icons).
Reading Python code without indention is nearly impossible.

It's also nearly impossible to debug incomplete code (especially when there are TWO SearchCursor flavors [and arcpy.SearchCursor is deprecated, and should not be used in code written since 2013]).

But you should know that nesting cursors is an antipattern, and the likely cause of your error.

Hey @Rohanrajan 

This is a longshot, but it appears you're not performing an edit.startOperation() before starting the edit session.
