Crash when list of strings provided to path in open_thredds_merged

[sgdecker]

Here is my code:

import xarray as xr
import intake

wrf_url = 'https://thredds.rda.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog/files/g/d559000/wy2006/200606/catalog.xml'
file_list = []
file_prefix = 'wrf3d_d01_2006-06-'
for day in range(1,3):
    for hr in range(24):
        current_file = f'{file_prefix}{day:02d}_{hr:02d}:00:00.nc'
        file_list.append(current_file)
catalog = intake.open_thredds_merged(wrf_url, path=file_list)
ds = catalog.to_dask()

I am getting this output:

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier. I'll fix this and your other issue too, but I might put the code in intake .
