Description
Expected Behavior
Unit tests are found when multiple package.json files exist in the project.
Actual Behavior
- NTVS Version: 1.5.10610.1
- Visual Studio Version: 2022 17.7.6
- Node.js Version: 20.8.1
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a project using the ASP.NET Core with Angular template
- Add a package.json at the root level of the project, now the folder structure should look as follows (excerpt):
MyProject/ ├─ ClientApp/ │ ├─ package.json ├─ Controllers/ ├─ Pages/ ├─ wwwroot/ ├─ package.json ├─ Program.cs - Edit the project configuration for unit testing with Karma/Jasmine:

- Reload the project
- Notice the Test Explorer is unable to find any tests

Research direction
Start by reproducing the ASP.NET Core with Angular project described in the issue, including the root and ClientApp package.json files and the JavaScriptTestRoot configuration. Inspect how the Microsoft.JavaScript.UnitTest integration discovers tests for the project and verify the result in Test Explorer. Done means Karma/Jasmine unit tests are detected with both package.json files present.
