Feature Request: Provision to put test files in feature folder instead of tests folder

From @shripalsoni04 on September 30, 2016 15:2

It will be great if we can put our test files in the respective feature folder instead of putting all the test files in app/tests folder.

When we do development for web version of angular application, we put the test files in respective feature folders with .spec.ts suffix as per the angular style guide.

If we can do the same thing in angularNative app also, it will be very easy to get started and it will open a way for unit-test code sharing. As currently we have different structures for test files in nativescript and web version, we cannot share the unit-test files easily and we need to manually copy the unit-test files and change the import path of the module being tested in test file for any cross platform shared code.

I thought to run a script which copies all the .spec.ts file to tests folder from feature folders, but then it will add complexities like adding new/changed test files back to app/tests folder in watch mode.

Let me know if there is already some way and I am missing that.

Thanks.

Copied from original issue: NativeScript/nativescript-angular#482

Start by locating how the CLI currently discovers and handles test files under app/tests, including watch-mode behavior. Compare that flow with the requested .spec.ts files in feature folders and determine the expected behavior for shared tests; done means feature-local tests are supported without manual copying.
