Forecasting with NNETAR fit leads to "! I can't use NNETAR to forecast..." #422

Description

I am getting this error that is identical to the error in this issue:
#326

I am able to fit this model as follows:

fit <- train |>
model(NNETAR(var1 ~ lag(var2, n = 1L) + lag(var3, n = 1L)))

However, use of that fit in fc and in a plot with this code will result in the error:

fit |>
forecast(new_data = test) |>
autoplot(train) +
autolayer(test3, close, colour = "orange")

A paste of what appears to be the critical part of the backtrace:

  1. │ └─dplyr:::mutate_col(dots[[i]], data, mask, new_columns)
  2. │ └─mask$eval_all_mutate(quo)
  3. │ └─dplyr (local) eval()
  4. ├─fable (local) sim_nnetar(.innov)
  5. │ └─rlang::abort("I can't use NNETAR to forecast with missing values near the end of the series.")
  6. │ └─rlang:::signal_abort(cnd, .file)
  7. │ └─base::signalCondition(cnd)
  8. └─dplyr (local) <fn>(<rlng_rrr>)

Finally, if TSLM() is used to fit that same model and with the same data, all works fine. And there is no missing values anywhere. 'Test' is 90 rows long.

Also, I am not sure if using lag() as above is best way to have NNETAR employ the variables from previous day.

Thanks in advance for assisting with this!
