If you've put in a *.gdb folder, don't. In fact never put anything into a .gdb using non-ArcGIS tools. They're a geodatabase, not a folder and ArcGGIS won't see any non database files in there. If you didn't actually copy them into a .gdb, but into a non gdb folder, then you may just need to right click the folder (from within Pro, i.e using the catalog pane) and select refresh ...

The Q. "What are the rules for local and global variables in Python?" in @DanPatterson's link explains: If a variable is assigned a value anywhere within the function’s body, it’s assumed to be a local unless explicitly declared as global. In the 1st example, your global i gets assigned a value and thus overwritten in each loop iteration, so must be declared as a global otherwise it would get replaced by a local variable. In the 2nd example, you are not assigning a value to uniqueList (and thus overwriting the initial global var with a local var), you are calling the append method of an existing global. This is one reason I avoid globals, too easy to introduce bugs. ... View more

One suggestion is to use 2 parameters, one a DEFile and the other GPBoolean. Have parameter validation set to clear one when the other is altered. Something like:   # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import arcpy, os class Toolbox(object): def __init__(self): """Define the toolbox (the name of the toolbox is the name of the .pyt file).""" self.label = "Toolbox" self.alias = "" # List of tool classes associated with this toolbox self.tools = [Tool] class Tool(object): def __init__(self): """Define the tool (tool name is the name of the class).""" self.label = "Tool" self.description = "" self.canRunInBackground = False def getParameterInfo(self): """Define parameter definitions""" param0 = arcpy.Parameter(displayName="Current Pro-Document", name="currentProDocument", datatype="GPBoolean", parameterType="Optional", direction="Input") param1 = arcpy.Parameter(displayName="Other Pro-Document", name="otherProDocument", datatype="DEFile", parameterType="Optional", direction="Input") param1.filter.list = ['aprx'] param2 = arcpy.Parameter(displayName="Layout", name="inlayout", datatype="GPString", parameterType="Required", direction="Input") params = [param0, param1, param2] return params def isLicensed(self): """Set whether tool is licensed to execute.""" return True def updateParameters(self, parameters): """Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal validation is performed. This method is called whenever a parameter has been changed.""" if parameters[1].altered and not parameters[1].hasBeenValidated: parameters[0].value = False parameters[2].value = None parameters[2].filter.list = [] prodoc = parameters[1].valueAsText elif parameters[0].value and parameters[0].altered and not parameters[0].hasBeenValidated: parameters[1].value = None parameters[2].value = None parameters[2].filter.list = [] prodoc = 'CURRENT' else: prodoc = None if prodoc is not None: aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(prodoc) layout_list = [l.name for l in aprx.listLayouts()] parameters[2].filter.list = layout_list return parameters def execute(self, parameters, messages): """The source code of the tool.""" aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(parameters[0].valueAsText) arpxPath = str(os.path.normpath(aprx.filePath)) arcpy.AddMessage(f"Pro-Doc Path: {arpxPath}") return   ...

You are passing a feature class to SelectLayerByAttribute and not using the returned feature layer (which has the selection applied). And then passing the original feature class to the next tool. Feature classes are the actual data (on disk, in a geodatabase, in the cloud, etc.) and in ArcGIS can't have selections (or symbology, joins, etc.). Feature layers are a representation of a feature class that are a link to the feature class and can also have selections (and symbology, joins, etc.). ... View more

Perhaps use DEFile and only allow aprx files using a filter:   def getParameterInfo(self): param0 = arcpy.Parameter( displayName="Input Project", name="in_project", datatype="DEFile", parameterType="Required", direction="Input") # set the filter list to a list of file extension names param0.filter.list = ['aprx']   ...

You need to pass a feature class not an ArcGIS Pro aprx file as the output.   ... View more

@DanPatterson wrote:   Also, no matter how I try every line has a line break after every number so it doesn't comply with the header, so compare the "worked" vs the "didn't work" The use of space or newline separators doesn't matter as long as the number of values = NCOLS x NROWS. ... View more

arcpy.env.workspace = inPut is correct, you set the workspace to a path inPut = arcpy.env.workspace is wrong, you are setting your inPut variable to whatever the workspace is (which will be None if you haven't set it previously) ... View more

That's because @Anonymous User points out, you need to pass the full filepath:   with open(os.path.join(inPut, out), "w") as k: k.write('Hellow')   Note, the above will overwrite your original files. If you want to append to the existing files, use the 'a' argument to open:   with open(os.path.join(inPut, out), "a") as k: k.write('Hellow')     ... View more
