Additional Information
This issue is non-reproducible. Use the following modified script to join the newly changed directory so the LYRX can be found correctly: import os import arcpy print(f'Currently in {os.getcwd()}\n') fldr_scratch = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'fldr_scratch') os.chdir(fldr_scratch) print(f'Now in {os.getcwd()}\n') layer = arcpy.mp.LayerFile(os.path.join(fldr_scratch, 'Boundary.lyrx')) print(layer.filePath)Workaround
Use the full path to the layer file (.lyrx) as a string or by using the os.path.join() function.
