Hi,

Have you solved this problem and if so, how? I believe, I’m experiencing something similar, if not the same issue.  
[https://forum.robotframework.org/t/datadriver-powered-test-returns-test-cannot-be-empty-error/](https://forum.robotframework.org/t/datadriver-powered-test-returns-test-cannot-be-empty-error/)  
But in my case, pip says that robotframework-datadriver is installed. So I’m really curious about your solution of the problem.
