Message - The test is empty and cannot be run.

Applies to TestComplete 15.73, last modified on March 04, 2025

TestComplete shows this message when you are trying to run an empty keyword test, that is, a test that contains no operations. An empty test will produce an empty test log which may be confusing.

Before running a test, make sure that it contains at least one operation. You can add operations to a test in the following ways:

  • Add operations manually to the test, or copy and paste them from another test.

  • Record operations to the test using the Record command of the Keyword Test editor.

Alternatively, if you do not need this empty test, delete it from your project.
