I am getting an error that I can't understand, when trying to run a Python script (my first with ArcMap).
<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'>: Object: Error in getting parameter as text Failed to execute (Boolean).
I can't find this error anywhere, Google returns no hits at all for "Error in getting parameter as text", which is somewhat disturbing, maybe it will now). The ESRI error page: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?topicname=tool_errors_and_warnings:576-600 has this "000580: Error getting parameter information". The solution is: "This error is only likely to occur in a custom tool. Please contact the tool's developer for more assistance."
That would be me.
I can run the tool perfectly fine by taking the arguments from the error message and running it from the command line (using a batch file), but I can't get the toolbox interface to execute a full set of parameters (it will execute some parameters - I have the tool set up so you can give it a configuration file instead of pointing and clicking, and that works, but it stops reading the parameters once it has the configuration file and output format).
I am sending a series of paths to raster files, and some arguments are multiple files (separated by semicolons). Still, the command line argument generated by
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a way around it? Any clues about what is causing it?
I might try using sys.argv, maybe that will give me more information...
As usual, the solution occurred to me right after I posted - this is from calling an index value with GetParameterAsText() beyond the length of the arguments. I have three tools calling the same script with different parameters.
