Using multiple workspace environments ArcGIS Arcpy

Question

I have 1 folder with shapefiles and a geodatebase. I'm trying to export the shapefiles and geodatebase feature datasets but I need to reference 2 Workspace Environments in order for the script to read both destinations.

Error Message: Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 68, in File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.3\arcpy\arcpy\conversion.py", line 1811, in FeatureClassToGeodatabase raise e ExecuteError: ERROR 000732: Input Features: Dataset 'ODORANT TEST POINTS.shp';COMPONENTS.shp;FARM_TAPS.shp;LINE_MARKERS.shp;MAIN_LINES.shp;METERS.shp;SERVICE_LINES.shp;STATIONS.shp does not exist or is not supported

• Midavalo: "I feel like this piece isn't searching correctly" - what is it doing or not doing exactly? Can you be more specific?
• Jordan: @Midavalo The script isn't searching the 2 workspace environments for the defined shapefiles and feature datasets listed in my #Set local variables. Error Message Reads: does not exist or is not supported
• Midavalo: Please edit your question to include your entire error message text including any line numbers
• Midavalo: Remove the spaces from your folder/workspace names and re-test (you'll need to actually rename them, not just change them in python). You could test on a copy without spaces if you can't rename those folders.
• Jordan: @Midavalo The spaces have been removed on the folders but it's still unable to read the 2 workspace environment directory paths.

Answer 1

Your error appears to be in the arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(), not in the arcpy.env.workspace.

Your script is attempting to pass a list of values (feature classes or layers?) to the Feature Class to Feature Class tool, however this tool requires a single feature class or layer input.

You either need to loop through the values in this list, something like the following:

inputlist = ['roads', 'boundaries', 'trees']
outputfolder = r"c:\temp\geodatabase.gdb"
for fc in inputlist:
 arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(fc, outputfolder, fc)

Or use Feature Class to Geodatabase to convert multiple feature classes to a Geodatabase

inputlist = ['roads', 'boundaries', 'trees']
outputfolder = r"c:\temp\geodatabase.gdb"
# Execute TableToGeodatabase
arcpy.FeatureClassToGeodatabase_conversion(inputlist, outputfolder)
