Dseries "insert" doesn't carry the new index

Hello all,

As per title. I have tried this with Dynare 5.3. Could you confirm if you’re having a similar issue?

Replication:

load acetylene.mat
ds_example = dseries(y)
size(ds_example)
ds_nan = dseries(NaN, ds_example.dates, “inserted_Variable”)
ds_example1 = insert(ds_example, ds_nan{1}, 1) % we succesfully insert a variable
size(ds_example1) % check what we’ve done
ds_example1{1} % works
ds_example1{end} % doesn’t work (ds_example1{2} and ds_example1{‘Variable_1’} don’t work either)

Can you please provide the files to replicate the issue?

Hello and thanks for the prompt response.

I have provided a replicable block of code with the sample dataset acetylene.mat. I think one should pretty much be able to run the code exactly as I have it.

No, you did not provide the dataset.

My mistake, I did not know it’s a Matlab example data set. I can confirm that the code

clear all
load acetylene.mat
ds_example = dseries(y)
size(ds_example)
ds_nan = dseries(NaN, ds_example.dates, "inserted_Variable")
ds_example1 = insert(ds_example, ds_nan{1}, 1) % we succesfully insert a variable
size(ds_example1) % check what we’ve done
ds_example1{1} % works
ds_example1{end} % doesn’t work (ds_example1{2} and ds_example1{‘Variable_1’} don’t work either)

does not run, presumably due to a problem with the command history. You can keep track of the bug at Fix crash after using insert (#53) · Issues · Dynare / dseries · GitLab

The bug should be fixed in the current unstable version.

Thank you very much, I’ll give it a go!
