fable::ARIMA produces only NULL model


Issue

I am trying to produce forecasts using regression models with ARIMA errors, but they always fail to produce anything other than a NULL model; in contrast, TSLM models work just fine on the same data.

Looking for an answer, I found this question on applying models to multiple time-series and tried to reproduce Rob Hyndman's example (copy-paste the code in rstudio cloud).

It didn't work (details below).

What's wrong?

Code

library(tidyverse)
library(tsibble)
library(fable)
library(lubridate)
set.seed(1)
ar1  <-  arima.sim(model=list(ar=.6), n=30)
ma1 <- arima.sim(model=list(ma=0.4), n=30)
Date  <- ymd(paste0("2019-01-",1:30))
tb <- bind_cols(Date=Date, ar1=ar1, ma1=ma1) %>%
        gather("Series", "value", -Date) %>%
        as_tsibble(index=Date, key=Series)
tb
tb_all <- tb %>% model(arima = ARIMA(value))
tb_all

Output

# A mable: 2 x 2
# Key:     Series [2]
  Series arima       
  <chr>  <model>     
1 ar1    <NULL model>
2 ma1    <NULL model>
