Issue Description
- When Issue Happens Running time-series forecasting example.
- Steps To Reproduce
- Install autopytorch-v0.2 and run time-series forecasting example with user warning displayed.
- Copy https://github.com/automl/Auto-PyTorch/blob/master/autoPyTorch/configs/forecasting_init_cfgs.json to corresponding auto-pytorch repo in python site-package directory.
- Run time-series forecasting example with user warning allowed.
Expected Behavior
Traverse 9 initial designs and do evaluation on each, then different random search configurations will be evaluated.
Current Behavior
After the user warning is raised, only a single default configuration is evaluated before random searching begins.
Your Code
same as https://github.com/automl/Auto-PyTorch/blob/master/examples/20_basics/example_time_series_forecasting.py except allowing user warnings.

Thanks for the reporting! We will add another function to change the illegal values to the default configuration values and add it to the next release ASAP.

I think it would not be included in the next release as that is coming soon with bug fixes. We'll take a look at this in the next major release.
I'm currently seeing this issue as well, is there a workaround I can use right now?
@8W9aG , This error happens if no categorical feature is available. If you are sure that no categorical feature exists in your codebase, you can replace this line with "feature_encoding:__choice__": "NoEncoder",
hope that works
