Here's a sample of what you get if no records are read into a python tool:
Error: CReW SHA256 (4): Tool #1: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Engine_10804_3513901e8d4d4ab48a13c314a18fd1f9_\2f1b1eb4701e445775092128efe77f76\workbook.py", line 7, in <module>
df = Alteryx.read('#1')
File "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_venv\lib\site-packages\ayx\export.py", line 35, in read
return _CachedData_(debug=debug).read(incoming_connection_name, **kwargs)
File "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_venv\lib\site-packages\ayx\CachedData.py", line 306, in read
data = db.getData()
File "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\Miniconda3\envs\DesignerBaseTools_venv\lib\site-packages\ayx\Datafiles.py", line 500, in getData
data = self.connection.read_nparrays()
RuntimeError: DataWrap2WrigleyDb::GoRecord: Attempt to seek past the end of the file
I've fixed this in my macro by forcing a DUMMY record into the python tool (deleting it on the back-end). It would be much nicer to have error handling that prevents the issue. Even as a configuration option, what to do with no input this would simplify things.
This error condition potentially effects every python tool created.
Cheers,
