Batch export script: invalid mxd filename

[PeterNguyen]

I run this as a standalone script without error all the time. But when I execute it in ArcToolbox I get an "Invalid mxd filename" error. Seems like an easy fix but I've never made a tool before... here's the code

import arcpy.mapping, os

inPath = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
outPath = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
res = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
format = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3)

# inPath = 'c:/Project/'
# outPath = 'c:/Project/Output/'
# res = 96
# format = 'pdf'

if not os.path.isdir(outPath):
 os.mkdir(outPath)
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(inPath):
 for file in files:
  if '.mxd' in file:
   mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(inPath + file)
   (filename, extension) = os.path.splitext (file)
   if format   == 'jpg' or format == 'jpeg':
    arcpy.mapping.ExportToJPEG(mxd, outPath + filename + '.jpg', resolution = res)
   elif format == 'png':
    arcpy.mapping.ExportToPNG (mxd, outPath + filename + '.png', resolution = res)
   elif format == 'bmp':
    arcpy.mapping.ExportToBMP (mxd, outPath + filename + '.bmp', resolution = res)
   elif format == 'pdf':
    arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF (mxd, outPath + filename + '.pdf', resolution = res)

I'd try modifying your mxd setting line to this.

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(os.path.join(inPath,file))

Thanks for the reply. Script completes with no error now but there's no output (completes in 0.0 seconds)

You should try adding some messages in to see what is happening. For example, you have no else case that would catch if your export format is valid.

Eg. 'PDF' != 'pdf'

Alrighty, I will play around with it some more. I was also thinking it might be the way I configured the parameters in the ArcToolbox properties.
