Contract part test button not appearing

[airelibre]

I have a couple of contracts which involve testing parts - the TT70 radial decoupler and the structural pylon. When I get ticks by all the prerequisites such as altitude and speed, right clicking on the parts only give the option of decoupling (I tried that, but it count as testing, and just means I wasted the time of two flights!).

Is this a bug or am I doing something stupid?

Some parts need to be staged to "test." The decouplers fit into that category. So once all the check marks are green, you must stage the decoupler to complete the test. Buried in the contract, it will usually tell you which method must be used.

But when I stage it it's no longer a part of the vehicle and I can't test it!!

Staging it IS the test. The contract will tell you whether you have to 'activate by staging' or 'run test part'.

But I have tried twice now, where I have all the conditions met, and there is no 'run test part' option, so I think "it must want me to test it by activating it" but the contract doesn't get completed in doing so.

I tried again, and I added something to the other side of the decoupler, but still nothing happened:

The game actually wants you to press spacebar for some odd reason. The rightclick -> decouple thing doesn't work.

Oh, that is annoying. I will try that and report back.

Yep, it worked. Thank you!

Try just detach when you still at the launchpad, see the notes of the contract maybe u miss something
