Zoom to selected feature won't work

Question

I have a piece of code I'm using to replace layer sources and then zooms to the new features. The part where I replace the workplace source works, but I can't seem to get it to zoom to the extent of the new features. I'm running ArcMap 10.2.

import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT')
mxd.findAndReplaceWorkspacePaths(r"\\Client\L$\17TSLB002_Morice\A95440_1_FULT_21\Submission_GDB\A95440_1_TBA_Digital_Sub_Dec11_2017.gdb", 
                                r"\\Client\L$\17TSLB002_Morice\A95441_1_NO_6\Submission_GDB\A95441_1_TBA_Digital_Sub_Dec1_2017.gdb")
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")
lyr = arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "BLOCK", df)
df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent()
df.scale = 5000
arcpy.RefreshActiveView()
mxd.saveACopy(r"\\Client\L$\17TSLB002_Morice\A95441_1_NO_6\Submission_PDFs\A95441_1_CHR_11by17_Portrait.mxd")
del mxd

I get this error though when I run the script.

Runtime error

Answer 1

Your df variable is a list of data frames. You'll need to grab one--almost certainly the first one. So change the line

df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")

to

df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]

And, as artwork21 mentioned, you'll need to do the same thing when you ListLayers. However, the current error is from the df line.

You may also need to refresh the map in order to reflect the updates. So, after df.scale = 5000, add the line arcpy.RefreshActiveView().

Answer 2

You do not have the layer rather a list of all layers. You need to loop through the list of layers and find the layer you want to zoom to, try:

df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0]
for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "BLOCK", df): # the "BLOCK" parameter is just wildcard filter for the list but does not return a single layer
    if lyr.name == "layerNameYouWantToZoomTo":
        df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent()
        # continue on with logic
