AddIDMessage

Résumé

Allows you to use system messages with a script tool.

A list of messages and IDs that can be used are provided under Understanding geoprocessing tool errors and warnings.

Discussion

Geoprocessing errors and warnings are returned from geoprocessing tools with a six-digit code and a text message. Every error and warning has a corresponding description page in the desktop help system. This page contains both a detailed description of the error and possible solutions for the error. In tool dialog boxes, the Python window, and the Results window, the ID code is a link that, when clicked, takes you to a description page.

Syntaxe

AddIDMessage example

Add a message to a Python script tool.

class overwriteError(Exception):
    pass

import arcpy

in_feature_class = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
out_feature_class = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)

try:
    # If the output feature class already exists, raise an error
    if arcpy.Exists(in_feature_class):
        # Raise a custom exception
        raise overwriteError(out_feature_class)
    else:
        arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(in_feature_class, out_feature_class)

except overwriteError as err:
    # Use message ID 12, and provide the output feature class
    #    to complete the message.
    arcpy.AddIDMessage("Error", 12, str(err))
