Found invalid plan_tiles in use_plan(). about desisurvey

[dkirkby]

I suspect that 4 tiles is not enough for the fancy HA optimization algorithm that surveyinit uses by default. If you are happy with HA=0, this should work:

surveyinit --config-file ./desisurvey-config.yaml --init zero --max-cycles 0

Thanks @dkirkby that worked. But the next step borked, surely related to the small number of tiles again. All I want/need is an exposures.fits file so I can test desihub/desitarget#561 through the spectral simulations on my laptop without having to run the minitest notebook (which is not so "mini" for what I want to do, and only runs at NERSC!).

@moustakas, I'm trying to clean up some old desisurvey issues. Do you want me to take action here? Obviously there have been a lot of changes in the last two years. This may magically work now---certainly the change to no-pass means that the particular line where you're seeing an issue will no longer trigger this particular issue. But I haven't tried to do the equivalent to what you intended here and verified it still works. I'm nevertheless inclined to close unles you feel otherwise.

Thanks for checking with me. This ticket is pretty stale so let's close.
