Arrays of NamedTuples with Arrays in Julia 0.7

General Usage
1

I am trying to create an Array with named tuples inside where one of the fields is an array. In 0.6 this is possible

a = @NT(t = 10, x = [1,2])
b = @NT(t = 1, x = [23,3])
m = [a,b]

However, in Julia 0.7 I get this error

m = (a=10, b=[1,2])
m2 = (a=10, b2=1)
[m,m2]

type UnionAll has no field name

is there any way around it or is it a feature?

[m,m2] works. The array is created. The error is on showing the result. Looks like a bug. Mind filing an issue?

Here’s a bit more detail:

julia> c = [m,m2];

julia> c[1]
(a = 10, b = [1, 2])

julia> c[2]
(a = 10, b2 = 1)

julia> c[[2]]
1-element Array{NamedTuple,1}:
 (a = 10, b2 = 1)

julia> c[[1]]
1-element Array{NamedTuple,1}:
Error showing value of type Array{NamedTuple,1}:
ERROR: AssertionError: Array{Int64,1} is not a subtype of NamedTuple

There were several similar issues, see Error displaying an array of tuples of tuples · Issue #25857 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub and other issues referenced there. It seems that still corner cases need to be handled correctly.
