I am operating inside a Typescript Monorepo. I want to add an Angular 8 frontend with Jest testing to the Monorepo. But I am encountering some issues.
I am using
Angular CLI: 8.3.5
I will use this repository as a starting point!
Then in <root>/services
I ran:
ng new frontend
After the Angular application was created I was able to run ng test
with the following result:
Everything works fine.
I am using https://github.com/briebug/jest-schematic to easily add Jest to my Angular application
yarn global add @briebug/jest-schematic
ng add @briebug/jest-schematic
This results in the following changes
Running jest
results in the following error:
$ jest
FAIL src/app/app.component.spec.ts
● Test suite failed to run

Ran all test suites.
Jest tries to find the tsconfig.spec.json
in the wrong folder. Fortunately, I found a fix. I needed to change the jest.config.js
module.exports = {
preset: 'jest-preset-angular',
setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/src/setup-jest.ts'],
globals: {
'ts-jest': {
tsConfig: '<rootDir>/tsconfig.spec.json',
diagnostics: false,
stringifyContentPathRegex: '\\.html$',
astTransformers: [require.resolve('jest-preset-angular/InlineHtmlStripStylesTransformer')],
},
},
};
Now when I run jest
it works:
I've now added the Angular HttClient
to my AppComponent
:
// app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'frontend';
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
}
I've also added the HttpClientModule
to app.module.ts
and to the imports
in the app.component.spec.ts
.
// app.module.ts
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [BrowserModule, AppRoutingModule, HttpClientModule],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}
// app.component.spec.ts
import { TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HttpClientModule, HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
describe('AppComponent', () => {
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [RouterTestingModule, HttpClientModule],
declarations: [AppComponent],
}).compileComponents();
}));
it('should create the app', () => {
const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;
expect(app).toBeTruthy();
});
it(`should have as title 'frontend'`, () => {
const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;
expect(app.title).toEqual('frontend');
});
it('should render title', () => {
const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
fixture.detectChanges();
const compiled = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement;
expect(compiled.querySelector('.content span').textContent).toContain('frontend app is running!');
});
});
However, when running jest
, I get the following errors:
$ jest
FAIL src/app/app.component.spec.ts

✕ should have as title 'frontend' (10ms)

The tests run just fine when using Jasmine + Karma. It seems like something went wrong with the dependency injection when using jest for testing.
You can find the repository here: https://github.com/flolude/stackoverflow-monorepo-angular-jest/commit/9a2d8cac0dfa25a5f6620f38238c3f577b2acb63 to try it yourself.
Just set the emitDecoratorMetadata
to true
in your tsconfig.spec.json
.
This allows the ts-jest
not to lose the metadata during the TypeScript transpilation. This issue came unexpected for jest-preset-angular
developer after the Angular updated to version 8.1
Here's the issue on jest-preset-angular
