[GIS] Getting AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘CalculateGeometryAttributes_management’

arcpyattributeerror

I am trying to calculate the area for my grid cells. For that, I give the
following command

arcpy.CalculateGeometryAttributes_management(union, "AREA")

Here, union is my grid and I need to make a new field to store the area. I am getting the following error:

'module' object has no attribute 'CalculateGeometryAttributes_management'

Prior to ArcGIS 10.6 to add and calculate an area you add the field with arcpy.AddField_management, type of float or double then use arcpy.CalculateField_management with the geometry attributes. See examples here.

The workflow looks like this:

arcpy.AddField_management(Union,'AREA','DOUBLE')
arcpy.CalculateField_management(Union,'AREA','!shape.area!','PYTHON')

As near as I can tell the 10.6 CalculateGeometryAttributes is a shortcut to executing the two instructions required in previous versions.

[GIS] Why is arcpy.da.SearchCursor code giving AttributeError: ‘int’ object has no attribute ‘split’

In your code try replacing this:

for row in searchC:
    A = [x.split('Point') for x in row[:-1] ]

with this:

for row in searchC:
    print row[:-1]
    A = [x.split('Point') for x in row[:-1] ]

and I think you will see that row[:-1] is returning a list of integers that you are iterating and then cannot split individually.

[GIS] Debugging AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘Parameter’ from Python Toolbox of ArcPy

This may not be the cause for everyone, but I've identified at least one set of triggers.

Run Python toolbox tool from ArcCatalog
Geoprocessing history is on and includes a result from #1.
When starting a new ArcCatalog session, no geoprocessing windows are open initially (such as ArcToolbox window, Python window, Results window).

If the above are all true, the Python toolbox tool will show the AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Parameter' exception.

Clearing out the history (or not logging it at all) will avoid the issue, probably why I didn't see this before as I rarely retain my history.

Right-clicking on the toolbox and using refresh will clear the error, but it will come up again in the future as long as the list above remains true. However, if the tool is importing the tool class from a separate tool file (like the case above) a refresh will not be enough. For that, I had to force it by including a reload in the .pyt, and then a refresh on the toolbox will clear the error.

# Using example of toolbox.pyt above
import toolpackage.configurator  # add import
reload(toolpackage.configurator)  # add a forced reload
from toolpackage.configurator import ToolboxConfigurator
