`TestBed.overrideComponent` breaks module imports with `@angular/build:unit-test`

首先在 angular.json 中使用兩個 @angular/build:unit-test runner 設定執行 app.spec.ts 中的重現，然後將其與 @angular-devkit/build-angular:karma 進行比較。追蹤 TestBed.overrideComponent(App, {}) 如何影響匯入的 TestModule，並在兩個 runner 中使用提供的測試驗證修正；該測試應識別 test-component 並成功建立 App。

Description

Reopening from https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/68363 as I don't feel it was fully answered and I later found the issue is related to the new builder.

When using the @angular/build:unit-test builder, TestBed.overrideComponent breaks imports out of modules. This happens for both vitest and karma runners, so I would assume it is connected to the build, not the test execution.

The issue does not occur when using other builder like @angular-devkit/build-angular:karma

Minimal Reproduction

Plain Angular project + packages needed for running karma

// app.spec.ts
import { Component, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';

@Component({
  selector: 'test-component',
  template: '',
})
export class TestComponent {}

@NgModule({
  imports: [TestComponent],
  exports: [TestComponent],
})
export class TestModule {}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  imports: [TestModule],
  template: ` <test-component></test-component> `,
})
export class App {}

describe('App', () => {
  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [App],
    })
      .overrideComponent(App, {}) // <= problematic call
      .compileComponents();
  });

  it('should create', () => {
    expect(TestBed.createComponent(App)).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

// angular.json
...
// fails
"test-vitest": {
  "builder": "@angular/build:unit-test",
  "options": {
    "runner": "vitest"
  }
},
// fails
"test-karma": {
  "builder": "@angular/build:unit-test",
  "options": {
    "runner": "karma"
  }
},
// this one works
"test-karma-devkit": {
  "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:karma",
  "options": {
    "tsConfig": "./tsconfig.spec.json"
  }
}
...

Running the test with @angular/build:unit-test it fails for both runners with

Error: NG0304: 'test-component' is not a known element (used in the '_App' component template):
1. If 'test-component' is an Angular component, then verify that it is included in the '@Component.imports' of this component.
2. If 'test-component' is a Web Component then add 'CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA' to the '@Component.schemas' of this component to suppress this message.

 ❯ renderChildComponents ../darwin_arm64-fastbuild-ST-fdfa778d11ba/bin/packages/core/src/render3/instructions/render.ts:140:6

With the @angular-devkit/build-angular:karma it passes as expected.

Also actually overriding something in TestBed.overrideComponent doesn't change the behaviour. I originally discovered this with a test that needs to stub a component. I left it out for simplicity here.
