Hello Paolo, You can safely ignore this test failure, as it is a side effect of an empty file that was accidentally included in the 4.4.0 release. You could also update to the latest release, 4.4.1.1; we are preparing the 4.5.0 release, if you want to wait for that. If you require or prefer 4.4.0, however, you can safely ignore this failure.
