"There's no line here to end." with the examdesign class

[patrick]

I'm trying to get the examdesign class working, but when I compile
even the smallest test file, I get the error "There's no line here to
end.", pointing at the last line, which has \end{document}. I have
read older posts about this problem, but they all remained unanswered.
What are possible reasons for this error message? – I use TexLive on a
Mac.

Great! - What about posting it right here?

Maybe a \\ on an *empty* line or some LaTeX construct that
does not directly produce text, like the end of an "environment"
like \begin{center}...\end{center}?

Thanks for your answer, Christian!

I mean the smallest thing possible:

\documentclass{examdesign}\begin{document}\end{document}

or

\documentclass{examdesign}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

This should at least output the default names for the class and the
exam, and the student information form—which it does, shifting
everything to the right, if I just skip the error; the log says:

Overfull \hbox (90.84221pt too wide) detected at line 1

If I insert questions the result is the same. It seems to be a very
basic error, as the functionality of the package itself isn't affected
(the questions are printed correctly.

I see the same with your example, but if I try the "examplea.tex" file
with the package, all is fine. I guess you have to have certain
information in the file for things to work: not great design, I'd
agree.

Hacking down the example reveals the \class macro is required. Try:

\class{Test}

Of course, I completely ignored anything like a file that ought to
work by design. Adding the class macro my file compiles correctly. Not
very obvious–but then again who uses the examdesign class without
giving the document a proper title? Yes, that would be me.

Thanks for the hacking!

Thank you so much!
