Give a warning for shots based execution without measurements #1355

Open CalMacCQ opened 5 months ago

CalMacCQ commented 5 months ago

Currently if you do shots based execution on AerBackend and forget to add measurements the circuit will execute and return a BackendResult with no counts. BackendResult.get_counts will return an empty counter.

Maybe we should give a warning in this case and inform the user that their circuit has no measurements in it.
