### Command
test
### Is this a regression?
No, it has been present since the @angular/build:unit-test build was created.
### Description
When I run:
```
yarn ng test ui-components --include=libs/ui-components/shortcuts/src/ShortcutEventsPlugin.spec.ts --watch=false
```
with angular.json config:
```json
"ui-components": {
"projectType": "library"
},
"root": "libs/ui-components",
"sourceRoot": "libs/ui-components",
"prefix": "ui",
"architect": {
"build": {
"builder": "@angular/build:ng-packagr",
"options": {
"project": "libs/ui-components/ng-package.json",
"tsConfig": "libs/ui-components/tsconfig.lib.json"
}
},
"test": {
"builder": "@angular/build:unit-test",
"options": {
"buildTarget": "ui-components:build",
"include": [
"**/*.spec.ts"
],
"tsConfig": "libs/ui-components/tsconfig.spec.json",
"runnerConfig": "libs/ui-components/vitest.config.ts"
}
}
}
}
```
the @angular/build:unit-test executor (re)compiles all test files (`**/*.spec.ts`) in the library and those files' dependencies, even though only the included files are needed for the tests that are being run.
This creates 2 problems, aside from being wasteful:
* This slows down our test/fix loops by a factor of about 2 relative to just compiling the included files, though obviously the speedup depends on the size of the project and other things
* Compile errors in other tests prevent a developer from being able to run the tests they're working on
We use single file testing extensively during development, and we also have agent instructions to run tests with `--include`, so this causes significant problems for us.
### Minimal Reproduction
In a larger project using `@angular/build:unit-test`, pick a single test file to run using `--include`, and run it:
```
yarn ng test (my-project) --include=(repo path to spec file) --watch=false
```
And note that mount of time building before running the test. You can also edit another test file in the project to break compilation, and note that you cannot run the first test file.
Then, edit the `tsconfig.json.spec`, replacing the wildcard patterns with the path to the file(s) being tested. Eg change:
```json
// libs/ui-components/tsconfig.spec.json
"include": [
"**/*.spec.ts",
"**/*.d.ts",
"**/*.*tests.ts",
"vitest.config.ts"
],
```
to
```json
"include": [
"shortcuts/src/ShortcutEventsPlugin.spec.ts",
// "**/*.spec.ts",
// "**/*.d.ts",
// "**/*.*tests.ts",
"vitest.config.ts"
],
```
And re-run the test command with `--include`. Notice the reduced time building (Eg I see 12s -> 4s) before the tests are run, and also that compile errors in other tests don't block running a test.
NOTE: The performance impact of this behavioral bug increases with the size of the project, so it's not really feasible to create a minimal repro for that. However if you need a minimal repro repo showing that single file tests can't be run when there is a compile error in another test, I can provide one.

Beitragsleitfaden
Rechercherichtung
Beginne mit dem @angular/build:unit-test-Executor und der Testkonfiguration in angular.json. Vergleiche anschließend, wie --include im Vergleich zu den include-Mustern in libs/ui-components/tsconfig.spec.json behandelt wird. Verwende den bereitgestellten yarn ng test-Befehl und verifiziere, dass nur die ausgewählte spec und ihre Abhängigkeiten kompiliert werden, sodass Fehler in nicht verwandten Tests sie nicht mehr blockieren und die Build-Zeit verkürzt wird.
