Description

Environment

  • CLI: 8.1.4
  • karma: 6.3.7
  • karma-jasmine: 4.0.1
  • karma-webpack: 5.0.0
  • karma-nativescript-launcher: ~2.9.0

Describe the bug

I initalized tests using tns test init using jasmine. After running tns test android, in the browser the header shows test: loading and it doesn't appear to load any test files in the network tab. The mobile app that's launched on my emulator shows no tests. I did not make any modifications to the version of the dependencies or to the generated karma.conf.js. There were no errors in the logs.

To Reproduce

Run tns test init and select jasmine
Run tns test android, it launches the app with no tests displayed. In the browser, it displays test:loading

Expected behavior
My unit tests to be displayed and their status.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with tns test init, selecting Jasmine, and running tns test android; inspect the generated karma.conf.js and the browser network activity while the emulator launches. Compare the expected test loading flow with the observed test: loading state, and consider the issue done when the initialized unit tests appear in the browser and emulator with their status.
