`drop_vars` issue?

[agrouaze]

I don't know if it is an issue (datatree==0.0.14) but, at least, it is an error that could appear quite easily:

import datatree
import xarray as xr
ds = xr.DataArray([[1,2,3]],dims=['a','b'])
dt =datatree.DataTree()
dt['A'] = ds
dt['B'] = ds
for grp in dt.groups:
    vars2drop = [vv for vv in dt[grp] if 'example' in vv]
    dt[grp] = dt[grp].drop_vars(vars2drop)

the case that would be problematic is:

dt['/'] = dt['/'].drop_vars([])

the error raised is:

    851     path = NodePath(key)

    853 else:
    854     raise ValueError("Invalid format for key")

    491     path = NodePath(path)
    493 if not path.name:
--> 494     raise ValueError("Can't set an item under a path which has no name")
    496 if path.root:
    497     # absolute path
    498     current_node = self.root
