TypeError: GPToolDialog() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

[SurendranNeelakantan]

I am using ArcGIS 10.22

An error  is coming in the python window  "TypeError: GPToolDialog() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)"

But the tool seems working fine

The  documentation says : GPToolDialog(toolbox, tool_name)

ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

Does anyone know the  reason ?

Thanks

Is the tool dialog showing up? If not, are you sure you're passing in the correct path to the TBX and the correct Tool Name?

[DanPatterson_Retired]

Is it in the format of the last line of that help?

pythonaddins.GPToolDialog(r'C:\MyTools\WaterStudy.tbx', 'GroundWaterYield') 

note the raw notation to the tbx name.

Jason & Dan

Thanks for the reply

Yes Tool Dialog is showing up and executing .

I am using the  following line

pythonaddins.GPToolDialog(toolboxPath, toolName)

Where toolbox path and toolbox name are variable pointing to the correct path.

My question is  Why the error says  "at most 1 argument"  where it supports  2 arguments.

thank you

No clue...other people haven't reported errors

https://community.esri.com/message/392058?sr=search&searchId=4b22ed49-a83c-4de1-be96-7e8db45afe9c&se...‌

show us the path and toolbox name...however, I doubt that is the problem since you said the tool operates.

What version are you using?  I can find no bugs listed except for version 10.2.2 being modal

I am using 10.22

Here is the  code to call the Dialog

import arcpy

import pythonaddins

import os.path

class ButtonBuildGDB(object):

    def __init__(self):

        self.enabled = True

        self.checked = False

    def onClick(self):

        toolboxName = "GDBAutomation_DRAFT"

        toolName = "BuildGDB"

        toolboxPath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), toolboxName + ".pyt")

        pythonaddins.GPToolDialog(toolboxPath, toolName)

Thanks

Does the toolboxPath variable contain any spaces?

[SurendranNeelakantan]

Ken

There is no spaces in the toolboxPath variable

Thanks

From the thread I posted, I notice that they are using a toolbox (ie *.tbx)

toolPath = relPath + r"\Custom Tools\Get IR Count\Install\GetIR.tbx"

and you are using a python toolbox

toolboxPath = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), toolboxName + ".pyt")

could that be the difference?  You might be advised to consult the section on python toolboxes again since their behaviours differ in some respects.

I am not sure  if the python toolbox  is the problem.   I am  calling   tool from a python toolbox . Tool works fine from  tool bar button. The above error message is only visible if python window is open in Arcmap.  This error not preventing the tool execution. May be I can Ignore this.

Thank you
