2007887740 I_kwDOAMm_X853re98 8480 Using `where` without `keep_attrs=True` removes attrs stored in coordinates on the inputs 20397548 closed 0     3 2023-11-23T10:16:04Z 2023-11-24T08:24:35Z 2023-11-24T08:24:35Z CONTRIBUTOR      

What happened?

Sometimes I store info about coordinates in the attributes on the coordinate. It's useful for stuff like units or resolutions. I noticed that these attributes can go missing from DataArrays that are used as the input to xr.where, which is a somewhat unexpected side-effect.

What did you expect to happen?

The input DataArray is left unmodified by xr.where.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

```Python import xarray as xr import numpy as np

values = xr.DataArray(np.linspace(0, 2), dims='x') values = values.assign_coords(x=values.x.assign_attrs(attr=10)) print('attr' in values.x.attrs) # True nonzero = values != 0 print('attr' in values.x.attrs) # True xr.where(nonzero, values, np.nan, keep_attrs=False) print('attr' in values.x.attrs) # False ```

MVCE confirmation

  • [X] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
  • [X] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
  • [X] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
  • [X] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
  • [X] Recent environment — the issue occurs with the latest version of xarray and its dependencies.
