Description
Saving an empty csiastobs script gives an incomplete observation definition XML file:
iactobs = cscripts.csiactobs()
iactobs['outobs'] = 'csiactobs_obs_py0.xml'
iactobs['outmodel'] = 'csiactobs_bgd_py0.xml'
iactobs['logfile'] = 'csiactobs_py0.log'
iactobs.logFileOpen()
iactobs.save()
gives the following
csiactobs_obs_py0.xml file:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
The
observation_list tag is missing.
Recurrence
No recurrence.

The problem ist that only in the run()-method, we have the following code:
self._xml.clear()
self._xml.append(gammalib.GXmlElement('observation_list title="observation list"'))
lib = self._xml.element('observation_list', 0)
Without calling
run(), the XML file stays empty. I guess an easy fix would be to move this code snippet to the constructor? Alternatively, we could include a check in the save method, that simply saves an empty observation container in case (self._xml.size() == 0). Do you have a preference?#2

I was indeed thinking of moving this code to the constructor. If you do this, please also look in the test_csiactobs.py script where the relevant unit test is commented.

Of course, when we will implement the clear method, we need to make sure that this is properly initialised again (#1842).
