Research direction

Start with the ng test command's argument parsing and its Vitest integration, then reproduce the reported command-line errors. Done means arguments after -- reach Vitest without schema validation errors, including --disableConsoleIntercept, with coverage in the relevant command tests.

Description

area: @angular/cli gemini-triaged
Command

test

Description

Vitest by default captures the console output, which reduces the ways available to debug tests.

However, there is no direct equivalent option on ng test to enable logging and no direct way to pass the --disableConsoleIntercept flag to the underlying vitest command.

Attempting to run ng test --disableConsoleIntercept

Error: Unknown argument: disableConsoleIntercept

Attempting to run ng test -- --disableConsoleIntercept results in

Option '--' has been specified multiple times. The value '--disableConsoleIntercept' will be used.
Error: Schema validation failed with the following errors:
  Data path "" must NOT have additional properties().
 ELIFECYCLE  Test failed. See above for more details.

Instead it seems like you would have to create a custom vitest configuration, with several other properties, and then provide that in angular.json which is rather heavy handed for simple one-time debugging.

Describe the solution you'd like

Simple forwarding of arguments ng test -- --disableConsoleIntercept which would pass the arguments to the underlying vitest command.

Describe alternatives you've considered
  • Support for this flag on the ng test command directly (though this is not a generic argument for all test types)
  • Support for some "forwardedArgs" flag on ng test that allows for flags to be forwarded
