I'm trying to use the intersect tool, with one of my inputs being from a get parameter as text. As I don't have an advanced licence I have to iterate through the list to run the intersect on each item in the list.
However, there is something about the input into the intersect analysis it doesnt like. I get the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "\DRBS-NAS01\ueec\GIS\100 MT testing\BufferTest\Scripts\Intersection batch.py", line 37, in arcpy.Intersect_analysis(Des4, DirectAndIndirect + "\test2", "ALL") File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.7\arcpy\arcpy\analysis.py", line 334, in Intersect raise e ExecuteError: Failed to execute.

query = '"IndImpBuff" = {}'.format(DesBufferList)
arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("SOBLayer","NEW_SELECTION", query)

for Des1 in DesList2:
Des2 = os.path.basename(Des1)
Des4.append(Des1)
arcpy.Intersect_analysis(Des4, DirectAndIndirect + "\\test2", "ALL")
Could someone suggest what the problem with the Intersect input is please?
