Succesful concatenation with the same type. ### Minimal Complete Verifiable Example ```Python import numpy as np import xarray as xr from datetime import datetime month = np.arange(1, 13, 1) data = np.sin(2 * np.pi * month / 12.0) darray = xr.DataArray(data, dims=[""time""]) darray.coords[""time""] = np.array([datetime(2017, m, 1) for m in month]) darray_nan = np.nan * darray.isel(**{""time"": -1}) darray = xr.concat([darray, darray_nan], dim=""time"") ``` ### Relevant log output ```Python Traceback (most recent call last): File """", line 2, in darray = xr.concat([darray, darray_nan], dim=""time"") File ""c:\users\j.w\documents\github\xarray\xarray\core\concat.py"", line 244, in concat return f( File ""c:\users\j.w\documents\github\xarray\xarray\core\concat.py"", line 642, in _dataarray_concat ds = _dataset_concat( File ""c:\users\j.w\documents\github\xarray\xarray\core\concat.py"", line 555, in _dataset_concat combined_idx = indexes[0].concat(indexes, dim, positions) File ""c:\users\j.w\documents\github\xarray\xarray\core\indexes.py"", line 318, in concat coord_dtype = np.result_type(*[idx.coord_dtype for idx in indexes]) File ""<__array_function__ internals>"", line 5, in result_type TypeError: The DType could not be promoted by . This means that no common DType exists for the given inputs. For example they cannot be stored in a single array unless the dtype is `object`. The full list of DTypes is: (, ) ``` ### Anything else we need to know? Similar to #6384. Happens around here: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/728b648d5c7c3e22fe3704ba163012840408bf66/xarray/core/concat.py#L535 ### Environment
