Description

The error message when the input file list is empty is not very helpful. For instance in hypathia:

[...]
sd = sensor_data(files_in[0], WfType.mcrd)
IndexError: list index out of range

It must be improved. Probably for all cities at once.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the code where files in is used and add a condition to check if the list is empty, then raise a clear error message instead of allowing an IndexError.
