I can not resolve why error in simple creation of xts object
xts(rep(0, NROW(TICK.NYSE)), order.by = index(TICK.NYSE))
Error in xts(rep(0, NROW(TICK.NYSE)), order.by = index(TICK.NYSE)) :
order.by requires an appropriate time-based object
appeared while this was working perfectly 14 days ago when I last used the same code (since then the only difference is that TICK.NYSE grow in length since data was added since then).
More details below:

How is this possible? Using function xts::timeBased returns FALSE if I copy the source of the function from xtime::timeBased as timeBased_test and use it returns TRUE... Strange.

OK, so, I think I found the reason for this. In xts in file period.R I can find this piece of code:
`is.timeBased` <- `timeBased` <-
function(x) {
if (!any(sapply(c("Date", "POSIXt", "chron", "dates", "times",
"timeDate", "yearmon", "yearqtr", "xtime"), function(xx) inherits(x,
xx)))) {
FALSE
} else TRUE
}
And this is, I guess, actually being called inside of xts. I thought it is xtime:timeBased being called which would be fine since that one has "POSIXct":
timeBased <- function (x)
{
if (!any(sapply(c("Date", "POSIXct", "chron", "dates", "times",
"timeDate", "yearmon", "yearqtr", "xtime"), function(xx) inherits(x,
xx)))) {
FALSE
}
else TRUE
}
What I do not understand here? Since checking inheritance of POSIXct works fine (returns TRUE) while POSIXt dos not (returns FALSE).
