Additional Information
This bug references the python function parameters from the ArcMap documentation and attempts to use them in ArcGIS Pro. The ArcGIS Pro documentation must be used when working in ArcGIS Pro. The CreateSQLiteDatabase() python function is correctly returning this error as there is no keyword parameter 'sqlite_database_path'. In ArcGIS Pro, the keyword is 'out_database_path'. Refer to this documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/create-sqlite-database.htm for more information.Workaround
If keyword arguments are required for testing purposes, use the tool located in the Management toolbox:
- arcpy.CreateSQLiteDatabase_management()
- Refer to this documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/data-management/create-sqlite-database.htm for more information.
