Hello,

 

 

I have a bunch of shapefiles as inputs but i'm not using them all everytime, so i put them as Optional in the User Parameter.

But i get this message : "Shape Reader: Failed to open dataset 'T:\\Test\\\\SHP\\test.shp' which is neither an existing file nor directory" when i run my script using a python script.

Eventhough the shapefile doesn't exist, since it's set as optional, FME should ignore it, no ?

 

How can I make it work please ?

Try setting "Ignore failed readers" to "Yes" in the Navigator under Workspace parameters -> Advanced.
