Schematics: Unit testing a rule that uses mergeWith/apply fails due to missing context

Inizia con la riproduzione minima collegata e il test unitario che utilizza callRule, mergeWith e apply. Traccia il problema segnalato attraverso file-system-engine-host-base.js e l’entry point schematics url.js, prestando attenzione al partialContext omesso. L’implementazione deve stabilire il contesto richiesto e far superare il test oppure segnalare chiaramente il contesto mancante.

Addendum

In creating the test case I've realised that I'm not passing a partialContext to callRule, so it is definitely missing context, however, it is not at all clear what context is necessary for mergeWith to succeed and the error does not indicate that context is actually missing.

Happy for this to be marked as a question instead. Guidance on how to provide the context and what context to provide would be amazingly useful.

🐞 Bug report

Description

Using callRule to unit test rules within a schematic fails when it comes to rules which return mergeWith

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

See: https://github.com/jdpearce/schematics-apply-problem

Given a rule which applies template files to the tree, this unit test will fail with TypeError: Cannot read property 'path' of undefined:

describe('applyTemplateFiles Rule', () => {
  let tree: UnitTestTree;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    tree = new UnitTestTree(Tree.empty());
  });

  it('should apply the files to the tree', async () => {
    const schema = {};

    tree = (await callRule(applyTemplateFiles(schema), tree)) as UnitTestTree;

    expect(tree.files).toEqual(jasmine.arrayContaining(['/libs/destination/test.txt']));
  });
});

🔥 Exception or Error

Failures:
1) applyTemplateFiles Rule should apply the files to the tree
