dce_003 · Deployment E2E: real empty BQ source — no crash, empty result

Status: ✓ Passing · Last run: 2026-06-09T06:39:34 · Pipeline: deployment_e2e · History: 1/1 runs passed (100%)

What was tested

Source BigQuery table has zero rows (typical: upstream pipeline hasn't run yet today). The Python section's df.to_dataframe() returns an empty DataFrame; the code branches to an explicit empty-result handler. Expect: section runs clean, 0 predictions, no errors. Production-side equivalent of dc_003 (empty_batch) — exercising the real empty-DataFrame round-trip through BigQuery's pandas adapter.

What we planted in the data

What the system did

What we checked — all assertions passed

Status Assertion Detail
e2e_section_completed_cleanly clean run (no pipeline or section errors)
e2e_scored_row_count_eq scored 0 rows, expected 0
e2e_predictions_in_band empty source — no predictions to validate (vacuously OK)

How this could have gone wrong

(no assertion descriptions provided)

Why this case matters

An empty source is a normal operational state ("nothing happened since the last refresh"). The deployment must produce a clean, empty live_artifact — not a stack trace or a fake "0 predictions with NaN" row.
