Abstract: The cubic non-linear Schr"odinger equation (NLS), where the coefficient of the non-linear term can be a function $F(t,x)$, is shown to pass the Painlev'e test of Weiss, Tabor, and Carnevale only for $F=(a+bt{)}^{-1}$, where $a$ and $b$ constants. This is explained by transforming the time-dependent system into the ordinary NLS (with $F=const$.) by means of a time-dependent on-linear transformation, related to the conformal properties of non-relativistic space-time.
