ArcMap 10.4, Windows 7, Python 2.7.10
I am currently working on a python add-in extension that will join a feature class layer with a feature service layer whenever the mxd is opened. When I take the script I have and run it in the python window it joins the two layer perfectly. When I make it into an add-in extension it fails to execute. I have run a test with a text file and it is running the script when the mxd is opened but not the part I need. I tried adding in a timer so it would execute after the mxd is fully up and running but still nothing. I have made this into a toolbar and you can execute when you press the button but this is not ideal. This is being made for people who use arc map to view our database but have basic knowledge and may forget or mess things up.
