I am using a Python library called arcpy_metadata that uses 2 datatype called max_scale and min_scale that take integers: enter image description here

My code for that is just:

import arcpy, arcpy_metadata as md
....
min_scale = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(5)
max_scale = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(6)
....
metadata = md.MetadataEditor(file)
...
metadata. min_scale = min_scale
metadata.max_scale = max_scale

I am trying to turn this into a Python script in ArcMap toolbox. An example input for the max and min scale would 5000 and 150000000. Since there is no integer type and I don't really need decimals, I just entered double when configuring the parameters for the tool. I also set it as ``optional`. enter image description here

When I run the tool however, I keep getting the following error. What am I doing wrong here?

RuntimeWarning: Input value must be of type Integer

Reset to default

your inputs are strings, GetParameterasText is a string value.

convert that variable to an integer...

min_scale_int = int(min_scale)
max_scale_int = int(max_scale)

use your new variable in the rest of your code.

  • Arghhh! That totally worked! Can't believe I missed that. I guess I just assumed that if I entered an integer it would know it was an integer. Commented Sep 5, 2018 at 16:34
