addDataFromPath credential error

[JillianStanford]

Hi,

I am trying to add a feature layer in a geodatabase on a network share to a map.

Using the following tool works without issue:

The layer is added to the current map.

If I attempt to do this using Python, I get the following error about credentials.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks!

I get different error, but what about declaring the path as a raw string?

newLayer = m.addDataFromPath(r'\\dotims4\maps\accela_update\accell_data.gdb\parcelPoint')

you cannot use relative paths, it is considered a security issue (it seems)
Put the full path to your .gdb or your .sde file

The relative path worked fine once I declared it as a raw string.

Thanks!

Fun fact: I received this error when the layer file (.lyrx) I wanted to load didn't exist.
