I feel like I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't figure this out. I use ArcObjects to call out to a python script using gp.execute(). When that python script encounters an error, the c# script will stop executing, leaving me no way to get error messages from the python script because anything like gp.GetMessage(ref sev) has to come after the python script call, so it's never hit when the script is erroneous. How do you get your error messages?? Example: //junk here gp.Execute("myscript", parameters, null); //error occurs here gp.GetMessages(ref sev); //cannot actually get these messages because c# script stops executing ‍‍‍ What about try/catch blocks? try{ //junk here gp.Execute("my script, parameters, null) //error occurs } catch{ gp.GetMessages(ref sev) //can't reference gp object here because it is not in scope }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I'm developing arcpy scripts in PyCharm, though I have also tested this in Wing IDE and it does the same thing. Is it normal that when you use arcpy.AddMessage() it prints to your console output? I know it does not do this in PythonWin (or it used to not do that ~2 years ago when I was using that IDE). I thought that AddMessage only allowed messages to show up when running the script tool in ArcMap, not in the console output and that's why you use AddMessage and print statements together in stand-alone scripts, so that way if you run it in a python IDE, you still get the messages.  Note: I do not use arcpy.GetMessages() or GetMessage() anywhere within the script. I am running 10.5 (python 2.7) This arcpy.AddMessage("Hello") print "Hello"‍‍‍‍ will print this in the output window: Hello Hello ... View more

I have a script that uses a search cursor on a shapefile to retrieve data, add a few things, puts each row in a list, and then copies each item in that list as a new row to a SDE feature class using an insert cursor. The problem is that when I use the insert cursor, it doesn't insert any rows into the SDE feature class, even though I get an exit code of 0 and no error messages. Based on the output window, it appears to have inserted the rows but if I go look at the feature class, nothing is there. I have tested the script by using an insert cursor on a regular file geodatabase feature class and it works just fine, so there must be something special about the SDE environment that I'm missing. I have the appropriate data types and number of items to match to fields, so it is not a sequence size error or a data type issue. I have attempted to carry out the insert cursor action inside an editing session (edit.startEditing(False, False) and edit.stopEditing(True)) but no luck with that.  The data is not versioned and never will be. Could that be what is causing the issue? Is there something about database permissions that I don't understand and need to write into the code?
