I have a gp tool that updates the output feature class names in the updateParameters() method. The tool runs fine from Pro. However, I am setting up functional tests for the tool that must run from the command line. When running the test I get an error that the output cannot be created. It references the name of the output set by updateParameters but does not have the full output path (which is implied when setting in the tool)
def updateParameters(self, parameters):
if parameters[0].value is not None and parameters[1].value is not None:
name = self.get_name(parameters[0].valueAsText, parameters[1].valueAsText)
parameters[4].value = name
corridor_name = self.get_corridor_name(parameters[0].valueAsText, parameters[1].valueAsText)
parameters[3].value = corridor_name
def get_name(self, planting_path, as_applied_path):
planting_base = os.path.basename(planting_path)
as_applied_base = os.path.basename(as_applied_path)
split = planting_base.split('_')
prefix = '{}_{}'.format(split[0], split[1])
operation = '{}_{}'.format(split[2], split[3])
po = '{}_{}'.format(prefix, operation)
as_applied = as_applied_base.replace(po, "")
name = '{}{}{}'.format(po, '_planting_modified', as_applied)
return name
def get_corridor_name(self, planting_path, as_applied_path):
planting_base = os.path.basename(planting_path)
as_applied_base = os.path.basename(as_applied_path)
split = planting_base.split('_')
prefix = '{}_{}'.format(split[0], split[1])
operation = '{}_{}'.format(split[2], split[3])
po = '{}_{}'.format(prefix, operation)
as_applied = as_applied_base.replace(po, "")
name = '{}{}{}'.format(po, '_corridors', as_applied)
return name
When running from my test, I set output feature names explicitly and execute the tool from arcpy. The test fails because it cannot resolve the output names which it overwrites when executing updateParameters() because it does not have full paths to the output feature class location. If I comment out where I set the value in updateParameters, the test runs fine. Here is my test:
class TestFindPointOverlapTestCase(unittest.TestCase, arcpyAssert.FeatureClassAssertMixin):
@classmethod
def setUpClass(self):
try:
toolboxdir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))), 'Tools')
self.toolbox_under_test = os.path.join(toolboxdir, 'toolboxes', 'TrialDataPrep.pyt')
self.extract_to = testutils.get_temp_folder()
zip_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'testdata.zip')
input_gdb = testutils.extract_zipped_gdb(zip_path, self.extract_to, 'FindPointOverlapData.gdb')
self.input_target = os.path.join(input_gdb, 'Jason_Diekevers_19CM_Corn_Planting')
self.input_compare = os.path.join(input_gdb, 'Jason_Diekevers_19CM_Corn_asapplied_flow1')
self.target_id_field = 'Trial_0_1'
output_gdb = testutils.create_output_gdb(self.extract_to)
self.output_features = os.path.join(output_gdb, 'test_points') #this path overwritten by updateParameters()
self.output_areas = os.path.join(output_gdb, 'test_areas') #this path overwritten by updateParameters()
self.compare_pts = os.path.join(input_gdb, 'Jason_Diekevers_19CM_Corn_planting_modified_asapplied_flow1')
self.compare_areas = os.path.join(input_gdb, 'Jason_Diekevers_19CM_Corn_corridors_asapplied_flow1')
except Exception:
super(TestFindPointOverlapTestCase, self).tearDownClass()
@classmethod
def tearDownClass(self):
testutils.delete_output_gdb(self.extract_to)
def testFindPointOverlap(self):
arcpy.ImportToolbox(self.toolbox_under_test)
print('output_areas = ' + self.output_areas)
arcpy.PointOverlap_trials(self.input_target, self.input_compare, self.target_id_field, self.output_areas, self.output_features)
I'm a little confused because I was under the impression that updateParameters is only run when a toolbox parameter is changed in the dialog and should not be an issue when running from command line or script. Below is the error I am getting:

Note the bold print above, the full path is not being passed to the tool.
Thanks for any help.
