I have a file gdb containing feature classes and address locators. I am listing and storing the names of the datasets using

arcpy.env.workspace = "C:\input.gdb"
(root, fds, ftrs) = arcpy.da.Walk().next()

The feature class names appear in ftrs as expected, but the locators do not. By filtering on FeatureClass

(root, fds, ftrs) = arcpy.da.Walk(datatype='FeatureClass').next()

the feature class names are populated once again, as expected. Filtering on datatype=Locator returns an empty list. I set the filter to Table as a check, and the list returned empty as expected.

I would like to know why the address locators in the file gdb are not being listed when arcpy.da.Walk is used to specifically filter out Locator?

  • What version of ArcGIS do you use? – GISGe Apr 22 '15 at 10:19
  • If you use the datatype 'Any' does it include the locators? – landocalrissian Apr 22 '15 at 12:04
  • @GISGe I'm on 10.3. I remember trying this in 10.2 as well, and it didn't work then either. – Cindy Jayakumar Apr 22 '15 at 12:29
  • @ChrisR I assumed not adding any parameters would return everything by default. Either way, using the Any still only returned the feature classes, and not the locators. – Cindy Jayakumar Apr 22 '15 at 12:32
  • Strange, it don't have any issue with 10.3 (when printing the name of the locators returned by da.walk). And what is the version of your gdb? – GISGe Apr 22 '15 at 12:36

arcpy.da.walk was introduced in version 10.1 SP1, that must be why it didn't work with your 10.1 geodatabase.
