R: Step function not producing complete result output

Question

[wkmustahs21]

Hi

I am having issues with the step() in R I am running this lmer model:

lmer(TSW ~  Entry +(1|Block), data=inputData)
step(lmer(TSW ~  Entry +(1|Block), data=inputData))

I should be getting some results on Least Sq Means Differences but it's not showing up at all. I don't understand why. This is the result I get:

Backward reduced random-effect table:

Can anyone tell me what is going on? I have tried to restart R and everything to run this script like 4 times but I am not getting the expected results.

There is a video please jump to 6:09 and you will see the results that should come up.

Thanks again.
