Python Toolbox - set extent working when run through IDE, not when run through toolbox

Having an odd issue with a python toolbox that I'm assuming is related to parameter validation. 

Overview...

  • toolbox iterates through an input layer in a map layout
  • for each record in the input layer, def query is set (i.e. OID = 1), and extent object of the layer w/ def query is retrieved through temp_extent = mapframe.getLayerExtent()
  • map frame in the layout is panned to the record by using mapframe.setExtent(temp_extent)

Issue:

  • if I'm executing code through my IDE (VS Code) functionality is fine. camera.x and camera.y coordinates are updating as they should be.
  • If i'm running as a python toolbox in ArcGIS Pro (2.9.3) camera coordinates are not being set properly, only being set to (0,0)

 

I'm following the recommended debug workflow as listed here https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-desktop/analytics/how-to-debug-python-toolboxes-in-....

 

This was working fine in 2.8.3 but not after we updated to 2.9.3.

That is frustrating when it works before an upgrade but not after.  Sharing your code would help find what the issue may be.

I take it you mean mapframe.camera.setExtent(...)?
