# Test Execution Issues

### Tests are not being generated

If Kerno is not generating tests or if the process is stuck , try the following troubleshooting steps:

* Make sure you project contains a dockerfile in your root directory so Kerno can use it to start your application. If you don't have one, create one, and try again.
* Make sure your [stack is supported](/docs/getting-started/supported-technologies.md) by Kerno. If your project uses an authentication method currently not supported by Kerno or uses an unsupported protocol (e.g. gRPC), tests will not run.
* Restart your IDE and try again.
