Test Explorer does not find UnitTests in the newly created Angular/React project (.esproj)

Question

I have created a new Angular project using Visual Studio 2022.

This automatically creates a demo project that also contains a test file with some tests (app.component.spec.ts).

My problem is that the test explorer does not find the tests.

I have rebuilt the project many times. Also I created my own test file and wrote a test - without success. The tests are simply not found.

The output shows the following errors:

I can't understand this because my project has a different GUID. Why does the test explorer search for it? Furthermore, in another Angular project, also newly created, it is also looking for the same GUID. In another, Angular project I got the following error:

I then created a new React project - with the same result.

I would be very grateful for any help!

Hello @Daniel Breul ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I recommend directly reporting this issue on our Developer Community for further check.

Currently, you may try to use commands to test the tests by opening Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2022, using "cd" command to navigate to your project folder, and then run npm test command.

Sincerely,

Tianyu
