Creating tfb file in Python Toolbox?

Question

What tool does:

Simply creates tbf file from raster extent.

What is the problem:

I ran toolbox in ArcMap 10.5.1 and ArcGIS Pro 2.2.4.

When I run it as standalone script it is working just fine.

I am not new to Python nor Python Toolboxes, but today:

1) I received an error which I never encountered before (error shown below)

2) when I declare rasters = arcpy.ListRasters('tif'), list of rasters is empty.

Error code:

Running script Tool...

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 54, in execute File "c:\program files\arcgis\pro\Resources\arcpy\arcpy\geoprocessing_base.py", line 527, in set_ self[env] = val File "c:\program files\arcgis\pro\Resources\arcpy\arcpy\geoprocessing_base.py", line 587, in setitem ret_ = setattr(self._gp, item, value) enter code here

Fixed all mistakes - tool fully working.

Answer 1

arcpy.env.workspace = parameters[0] should be arcpy.env.workspace = parameters[0].valueAsText.

You are setting the workspace to a Parameter object, not a string, see Accessing parameters within a Python toolbox

Your rasters = arcpy.ListRasters('tif') will find only rasters called exactly "tif". If you want to find rasters with a .tif file extension, use rasters = arcpy.ListRasters('*.tif')
