Python Output not Working - There is no valid metadata for the outgoing connection 1.

I am trying to have an python tool output to 1 output. I am getting an error such a "there is no valid metadata for the outgoing connection 1. Run the workflow to generate the valid meta data.  I see this response after I run the workflow.  Any help would be awesome!  I have tried numerous things, found this simple script via the discussion forum from another user, but am not able to resolve it as they did.

I was only playing with this a few days ago .... are you sitting down when you are reading this ?

 

 

Simply delete those unused cells at the bottom so that it looks like this :

Basically so that you're output is the last thing in the notebook, then it runs perfectly :)

Typically this message is just telling you to re run the workflow. Do you see any output in the #1 anchor? As long as there is output, you are good to go.

No I don't see any output.  It doesn't show anything in #1 output.

Hi @Jayordan 

 

I would recommend you reach out to Alteryx Customer Support (support@alteryx.com). They can walk you through the steps to get the output #1 anchor to show.

 

Thanks,
