TestFilter not flagging issues

I’m currently updating all of our tools to a new input dataset. In the process, I’m relying on the transformers to tell me when there are issues with the new schema. The issue I have found is the TestFilter is not flagging these as Incomplete Transformers. Build is 25237, and all transformers are up-to-date.

I want to believe I have seen this behavior on other transformers, but the TestFilter is by far the most prevalent case and has the potential to cause the most problems in our workflows.

Is there a work-around to check for Incomplete Test Conditions? 

Original configuration
When the connection is removed, the transformer does not become Incomplete. It’s only when you drill down into the Test Conditions that you see the issue.
To rule out something weird going on with my workspace, I created a fresh test from scratch. The issue persisted here as well.

      A TestFilter is basically multiple Tester transformers. So it does error at the Tester level when no connection is initiating the transformer. I guess you’re asking for the TestFilter transformer to do the same. I guess that’s up to Safe Software developers,,,. you may want to submit a support reqyest and reference this URL

      Support ticket submitted. For clarification, it’s not just when there is no connection initiating the transformer. If there is a connection but the incoming feature does not have the attribute, the TestFilter will not show as ‘Incomplete’. The Tester will show as Incomplete.

      For future reference, this was fixed in v2025.2.
