Description
-
[ x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
[ x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
(optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.
Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example
import pandas as pd
# create empty df, and set a multi index
empty_df = pd.DataFrame(columns=["a", "b", "c"])
multi_index_empty_df = empty_df.set_index(keys=["a", "b"])
# index is different when applying shift on grouping when specifying a fill value
assert multi_index_empty_df.groupby(["a","b"]).shift(1).index.names == multi_index_empty_df.groupby(["a","b"]).shift(1, fill_value=0).index.names
Problem description
I discovered this problem when a unit test failed on a function that performed a groupby and shift on an empty dataframe.
Specifying fill_value
in pandas.DataFrame.shift() should not alter the index that was set on a dataframe. This is not the case for empty dataframes with a multi-index, as the example above shows.
Expected Output
When executing:
multi_index_empty_df.groupby(["a","b"]).shift(1).index.names
I get the output:
FrozenList(['a', 'b'])
But when executing
multi_index_empty_df.groupby(["a","b"]).shift(1, fill_value=0).index.names
I should get the same output, but instead I get
FrozenList([None])
Output of pd.show_versions()
