The Crew Dragon successfully completed a test flight to the ISS without astronauts onboard in early 2019, spending a few days docked to an adapter before coming back home.

Despite the setback, the next tests were successful, including a crucial parachute test, an abort test, and just a few days before the spacecraft’s delivery, an electromagnetic interference test that you can watch below.
