Python FeatureClass To Geodatabase conversion Issue

Question

When I run this part of my code, I get an error that says the parameters of the MakeFeatureLayer are not valid. However, when I run the first half of this script (the first try/except) and then run only the second part of the script, the code works, but errors if I run it all together. I'm guessing it is a workspace issue, but I can't figure it out.

import arcpy
import math

arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True


pth = "C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Everything/PSU/GEOG_596A/"
outname = "Family_" + arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) + ".gdb"

arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) + ".gdb"

arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(pth, outname, "CURRENT")


wkspce = "C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Everything/PSU/GEOG_596A/master_data"

arcpy.env.workspace = wkspce

try:

    fcs = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
    for fc in fcs:
        arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(fc, pth + outname)
except:
    print arcpy.GetMessages()


pth1 = "C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Everything/PSU/GEOG_596A/"
outname1 = "Family_" + arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) + ".gdb"
param1 = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
famloc = "family_location_"
family = "Featured_Family_Location_updated"

arcpy.env.workspace = pth1 + outname1

try:
    defquery = '"Family_ID" = ' + "'" + param1 + "'"
    featurein = pth1 + outname1 + "/" + family
    layer = "family_lyr"
    copyname = pth1 + outname1 + "/" + famloc + param1


    arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(featurein,layer,defquery) 
    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(layer, copyname)

except:
    print arcpy.GetMessages()
##

This is the error :

ERROR 000732: Workspace or Feature Dataset: Dataset C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Everything/PSU/GEOG_596A/Family_C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Ever‌​ything/PSU/GEOG_596A/master_data\tracts.shp.gdb does not exist or is not supported Failed to execute (MakeFeatureLayer).

Answer 1

Assuming arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) returns the text FRED then featurein would be:

"C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Everything/PSU/GEOG_596A/Family_FRED.gdb/Featured_Family_Location_updated"

So does the Featureclass Featured_Family_Location_updated exist in that GeoDatabase, if not thats your problem.

Answer 2

I have change the script to this:

import arcpy

def createGDB(path, name):
""" Create File GDB """

    arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = 1
    arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(path, name, 'CURRENT')

def main(character):
    pth = 'C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Everything/PSU/GEOG_596A/'
    outname = "Family_{}.gdb".format(character)
    createGDB(pth,outname)

    # Get list of in_fc
    arcpy.env.workspace = 'C:/Users/Dane/Desktop/Everything/PSU/GEOG_596A/master_data'  # I think it contains shapefile
    print "source directory :\r\n{}{}".format(pth,outname)
    fcs = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

    print 'Insert data in gdb :\r\n{}{}'.format(pth,outname)
    out_wk = "{}{}".format(pth,outname)

    try:
        # set output with overwrite param
        # arccy.env.workspace = out_wk
        arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = 1  # I don't think it's needed because
                                       # process create exist_name_1
                                       # next pass exist_name_1_1

        # test insert dataset
        for fc in fcs:
            print "push fc : {}".format(fc)
            arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(fc,out_wk)
    except:
        print arcpy.GetMessages()

    if __name__ == '__main__':
         main(arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0))

Can you test it? I have just a problem with one featureclass. I don't know why and check it with toolbox directly. I comeback later and comment problem with other test.
