Somehow my Python installations got crossed up. I've tried uninstalling ArcGIS Pro and reinstalling it but that has no effect. Is there any way to solve this? ... View more

I am developing a Python Toolbox to take some user inputs before creating an output that gets saved as an Excel file. I'm trying to have it add the '.xls' extension after the user enters a file name but then it shows errors in the dialog box: The errors go away once the file name is entered and it does automatically add the file extension. How do I write the code so that there are no errors to begin with? This is my first attempt at a Python Toolbox but I think I will be developing more so I'm willing to take any help that I can get. Here is my source code: import arcpy def getList():     planList=['Greentree', 'Sunset','Sherwood']     return planList 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"""         planBuff=arcpy.Parameter(             name='planBuff',             displayName='Buffer Distance',             direction='Input',             datatype='GPDouble',             parameterType='Required')         planBuff.value=50         units=arcpy.Parameter(             name='units',             displayName='Units',             direction='Input',             datatype='GPString',             parameterType='Required')         units.filter.type = "ValueList"         units.filter.list = ['feet','meters']         units.value='feet'         plan=arcpy.Parameter(             name='plan',             displayName='Plan Name',             direction='Input',             datatype='GPString',             parameterType='Required')         plan.filter.type='ValueList'         plan.filter.list=getList()         folder=arcpy.Parameter(             name='folder',             displayName='Folder to save file',             direction='Input',             datatype='DEFolder',             parameterType='Required')         fileName=arcpy.Parameter(             name='fileName',             displayName='Excel file name',             direction='Input',             datatype='GPString',             parameterType='Required')         params = [planBuff,units,plan,folder,fileName]         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 not parameters[4].valueAsText.endswith('xls'):             parameters[4].value=parameters[4].valueAsText+'.xls'         return     def updateMessages(self, parameters):         """Modify the messages created by internal validation for each tool         parameter.  This method is called after internal validation."""         return     def execute(self, parameters, messages):         """The source code of the tool."""         return ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
