Are you able to run vite-plugin-angular through Intellij/Webstorm run configurations?

[svdeveloper1]

After installing and configuring @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular, tests work properly if I run them through the @analogjs/vitest-angular:test schematic. If I try to run an individual test through Intellij however, it fails with the error:

Error: No test suite found in file [redacted]/app.component.spec.ts

This fails even with a bare describe block with an empty test. The schematic still succeeds however.

describe('AppComponent', () => {
  it('should render title', () => {
    // do nothing, should just pass
  });
});

If I comment out the angular() vite plugin, then it works as expected.

Is this use case supported? Has anyone used it successfully?

After looking at the example repo, I can see that the problem was the working directory I was using was wrong. It defaulted to the workspace root in an nx monorepo, but the working directory needs to be the same as the project directory. Using a run configuration template solved the issue.

Create a .run/Template Vitest.run.xml file in your project directory.

<component name="ProjectRunConfigurationManager">
  <configuration default="true" type="JavaScriptTestRunnerVitest">
    <config value="$PROJECT_DIR$/apps/<YOUR_APP_NAME_HERE>/vite.config.mts" />
    <node-interpreter value="project" />
    <vitest-package value="$PROJECT_DIR$/node_modules/vitest" />
    <working-dir value="$PROJECT_DIR$/apps/<YOUR_APP_NAME_HERE>" />
    <envs />
    <scope-kind value="ALL" />
    <method v="2" />
  </configuration>
</component>
