ng-add support for Vitest browser providers doesn't work

Riproduci il problema con i passaggi elencati per ng new, ng add, l’installazione di Playwright e ng test. Confronta i file angular.json e tsconfig.spec.json generati con la configurazione documentata della modalità browser, quindi esamina il supporto per ng-add introdotto dal commit f80db6f. Il lavoro è completato quando ng add configura l’opzione browsers in modo che ng test venga eseguito nell’ambiente browser di Vitest invece che in jsdom in Node.js.

Description

@angular/cli v21.2.0-next.0 added in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/commit/f80db6fb714aa326f6ed03a8a51090ca59ad0955 add ng-add support for Vitest browser providers but it is not complete and does not actually work.

The schematic correctly adds the required packages and modifies tsconfig.spec.json but does not add the browsers option as documented at https://angular.dev/guide/testing/migrating-to-vitest#5-configure-browser-mode-optional.

Without this option the test doesn't actually run in browser environment and is still run in DOM emulation library within Node.js.

Minimal Reproduction

Repro steps:

1. ng new angular22dot2dot0next0 --ssr=false --style=scss --ai-config=none
2. ng add @vitest/browser-playwright
3. npx playwright install
4. Open app.spec.ts and add line to any test: console.log('RUNNING IN:', navigator.userAgent);
5. Run test via ng test
6. Observe the console outputs: RUNNING IN: Mozilla/5.0 (win32) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) jsdom/27.4.0
7. Test still runs in Node.js with DOM emulation, not in Vitest browser ❌

How to fix:

1. Open angular.json and change:

"test": {
  "builder": "@angular/build:unit-test"
}

to:

"test": {
  "builder": "@angular/build:unit-test",
  "options": {
    "browsers": ["chromium"]
  }
}

2. Run test via ng test
3. Observe actual Chrome for Testing window opens and Console outputs: RUNNING IN: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/145.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
4. Test runs in Vitest browser 👍
