Greetings,

We have some data driven tests which run off an Excel spreadsheet. In Test Studio Ultimate these test run great. When we try to run the test using the ArtOfTest.Runner.exe test runner, we get a passing result though no tests are run. The log reports: "There is no data to execute the test with".

I'm running the test with the current working directory set to the same directory the *.tstest files are in. I've tried both setting the "root" and "settings" command line options of the test runner, as well as not setting them. I've copied the *.xlsx files from the Data directory to the directory the tests are in and run from. I've used both relative paths and absolute paths for the "test", "root" and "settings" options (absolute paths crash the runner). I've removed spaces from the path so there are no spaces (the runner seems to have trouble with them). When it doesn't crash, the test run is successful with 0 out of 1 tests passing and the "There is no data to execute the test with" line in the results. There appears to be no options to set the data files on the command line.

How can I get the command-line runner to find the data for the data driven tests?

Hi,

I'm using a PC with Test Studio installed and I'm trying to run a Test List on a server with Run-Time installed.
I'm having the same issue. Every time I'm trying to run a test list remotely I'm getting the "There is no data to execute the test with" message.

Regards,
Catalin

Hi,

The problem is caused by missing MS Access OleDB Data provider on the remote machine, which is needed to work with excel files.

Please install the 32 bit version of this free MS distributable (not x64 version, as it will not work with Test Studio) on the machine you want to use for executing excel data driven tests. It should not conflict with any existing MS Office installations and could be installed in parallel to them.

Best Regards,
