When using ExactSumConstraint, the solver sometimes raises:
ValueError: max() iterable argument is empty
This happens inside ExactSumConstraint.preProcess() when the code callsmax(domains[variable])
after domain pruning.
If all possible values for a variable are removed during the preprocessing step, the corresponding domain becomes empty, causing max() and min() to fail.

Root Cause
In preProcess():

for value in domain[:]:    if value * multiplier + other_vars_min > exactsum:        domain.remove(value)    if value * multiplier + other_vars_max < exactsum:        domain.remove(value)# Then later:self._var_max = { variable: max(domains[variable]) * multiplier for variable, multiplier
