Exception when trying to reconcile cached files during LDPSetCreator init #28

Open jpl-jengelke opened 1 year ago

File "c:\users\pablo\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\exotic\api\gael_ld.py", line 97, in createldgrid
    sc = LDPSetCreator(teff=(tstar, terr), logg=(loggstar, loggerr),
  File "c:\users\pablo\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\ldtk\ldtk.py", line 425, in __init__
    with pf.open(self.files[0]) as hdul:
IndexError: list index out of range

Client.__init__() on line 415 calls self.set_limits() which in certain cases results in client.files being empty. So when the property client.localfilenames is used it can return an empty list. Then the call to pf.open(self.files[0]) in LDPSetCreator.__init_\() raises an exception because it's operating on an empty list.

I don't have much more information on why the set of files is empty in the first place, but perhaps we can get a use case to help troubleshoot this. It is currently being exposed by the EXOTIC product in certain very limited circumstances.

This is currently exposed in LDTk v1.7.0 and exercised in EXOTIC 2.3.0.

The line that invokes the issue is at https://github.com/rzellem/EXOTIC/blob/2.3.0/exotic/api/gael_ld.py#L97

Adding EXOTIC inits and error files. ... LDTk_exception_EXOTIC_2-3-0.txt inits_24_11_2022__16_15_35.json.zip

Explanation: This was exposed by "an unphysical value that was marked by NEA - once manually overrode, then things were fine again. ... TL;DR - A bad value was found in the NEA entry for this target."
