This tool creates two output files, i.e. both baseline and shoreline intersection features.
The problem occurs when these output files are rewritten with the same filenames as the first time the tool was run. The error is raised when calling the arcpy.management.CreateFeatureclass() function. This function is used to create an empty feature class to be filled with the calculated intersection points for both baselines and shorelines.

As you can see in the image below, the traceback error that ArcGIS identifies is related to a problem with invalid characters in the filename, which makes no sense as this error does not appear the first time you run the tool.

I've done several tests to pretend to fix this problem, but for some reason that escapes me, the error doesn't always appear, even when I try to reproduce the exact same process that previously gave me an error. I've coded something that should fix this, but it doesn't, the following snippet detects if the filename already exists and removes it before calling the arcpy.management.CreateFeatureclass() function.
if arcpy.Exists(baseOutFeature):
arcpy.Delete_management(baseOutFeature)

For now, I have managed to solve the problem by doing the following:

• Restart ArcGIS Pro when the error occurs.
• Delete (if they still exist) the two baseline and shoreline intersection features in the default GDB where all the outputs are stored.
• Re-run the tool.

I have identified a bug in the output of "2. Intersect Shorelines And Baseline With Transects" tool.
The problem occurs when there is at least one shoreline that intersects the same transect multiple times. The code I provided to handle this situation does not work as the following values of both the transect and shoreline IDs are not assigned correctly.

Description

I have detected an issue in the "Plot the Analysis Results" module of our tool. This problem occurs when performing a coastline evolution analysis (calculating retreat rates per year for each transect) with a minimal number of shorelines.

Question

How this issue can be solved?
How do you recomend to proceed?

The following error occured when running module 3. Perform The Analysis and I am not sure how to fix it:
