Cannot setup unit testing for a new project

[adrian-niculescu]

Issue Description

Create an a new TyepScript app and initialize it for testing with mocha. When running the tests there is an error that the karma.conf.js is missing.

Reproduction

ns create MyApp --ts
cd MyApp
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
ns platform add android
ns test init --framework=mocha
ns test android --emulator --justlaunch

OR for iOS (same result):

ns create MyApp --ts
cd MyApp
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
ns platform add ios
ns test init --framework=mocha
ns test ios --emulator --justlaunch

Relevant log output (if applicable)

Retested this after NativeScript CLI 8.2.2 was released

ns create MyApp --ts
cd MyApp
npm install
ns platform add ios
ns platform add android
ns platform update ios
ns platform update android
ns test init --framework=mocha
ns test android --emulator --justlaunch

still does not work out-of-the-box, but after adding "@nativescript/android": "^8.2.2", to devDependencies in package.json it worked

Current working environment (after manual adjustments):

ns create myTestApp --ts
cd myTestApp
ns test init --framework=mocha
ns test android --emulator --justlaunch

These work for me - the only change I had to make (which I'm fixing in the default karma config) was to add hostname: '127.0.0.1' because in node17 localhost get's resolved to the ipv6 address by default, and causes the following error:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:9876

Using 127.0.0.1 forces it to use ipv4...

Committed the fix here - will publish along with other fixes later... https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-cli/commit/81cb9c37cdd4e24115be79b24b68dfbaf8cdcfd2

then

ns test android --emulator --justlaunch

works as expected.

Observed discrepancies:

• by default NativeScript CLI 8.2.2 uses @nativescript/android version 7.0.1
• @nativescript/android is not added by the NativeScript CLI to package.json
• ns platform update android does upgrade the project to use @nativescript/android@8.2.2 but I have the same error with this version.
• downgrading to @nativescript/android@8.1.1 -> works as expected.

[rigor789]

by default NativeScript CLI 8.2.2 uses @nativescript/android version 7.0.1

That's strange - seems like an npm cache issue locally? It uses latest 8.2.2 for me as expected.

@nativescript/android is not added by the NativeScript CLI to package.json

Not after ns create but after running the app first - it should be added automatically ("@nativescript/android": "8.2.2")

ns platform update android does upgrade the project to use @nativescript/android@8.2.2 but I have the same error with this version.

Check package.json - ~8.2.2 should work, but try with just 8.2.2 without the tilde and see if that makes a difference? The Invalid Version: null. usually meant an unparsable version number somewhere, though I fixed many cases like that in the CLI, and I haven't seen that pop up for a while now. You can run with --log trace to get a stack-trace of where that's coming from, might help me fix it in the cli.

downgrading to @nativescript/android@8.1.1 -> works as expected.

Does that mean no ~ (tilde) in the version? Might be related to above?

Running the same exact commands:

ns create myTestApp --ts
cd myTestApp
ns test init --framework=mocha
ns test android --emulator --justlaunch

Yields this on both my mac and windows machines:

I cleared the npm cache via

rm -rf ~/.npm/_cacache

(I have npm installed via nvm

then:

ns create myTestApp --ts
cd myTestApp
ns test init --framework=mocha
ns run android

by default NativeScript CLI 8.2.2 uses @NativeScript/android version 7.0.1

That's strange - seems like an npm cache issue locally? It uses latest 8.2.2 for me as expected.

ns test android --emulator --justlaunch # OR ns run android
Searching for devices...
Copying template files...
Platform android successfully added. v7.0.1

It says it adds the 7.0.1 version not 8.2.2. ⚠️

also tried:

ns platform add android
Platform android already added

ns platform update android
Gradle stop services...
Platform android successfully removed.
Copying template files...
Platform android successfully added. v7.0.1
Successfully updated to version  8.2.2

I checked to see if @nativescript/android is installed:

ls node_modules/@nativescript/android
ls: node_modules/@nativescript/android: No such file or directory

So that's the real problem ⚠️

@NativeScript/android is not added by the NativeScript CLI to package.json

Not after ns create but after running the app first - it should be added automatically ("@nativescript/android": "8.2.2")

after

ns test android --emulator --justlaunch # ns run android

I still don't see @nativescript/android in package.json or in node_modules (seems like a CLI issue) ⚠️

ns platform update android does upgrade the project to use @NativeScript/android@8.2.2 but I have the same error with this version.

Check package.json - ~8.2.2 should work, but try with just 8.2.2 without the tilde and see if that makes a difference? The Invalid Version: null. usually meant an unparsable version number somewhere, though I fixed many cases like that in the CLI, and I haven't seen that pop up for a while now. You can run with --log trace to get a stack-trace of where that's coming from, might help me fix it in the cli. Ok, I put "@nativescript/android": "~8.2.2", in package.json as advised; then

npm install @nativescript/android --save-dev
ns clean; npm install; 
ns test android --emulator --justlaunch

works 👍 I think I just needed a ns clean; npm install there. So this can be considered ok.

TL;DR The remaining issues are:

• @nativescript/android is not added automatically topackage.json and not installed in node_modules at ns test android --emulator --justlaunch or ns run android, leading to errors such as Invalid Version: null.. -> workaround: npm install @nativescript/android --save-dev; ns clean; npm install
• NativeScript CLI 8.2.2 says it uses @nativescript/android v 7.0.1 by default (but actually no version is installed).

[rigor789]

Unable to reproduce unfortunately - can you run with --log trace and share the logs? Have no idea why it would pull in 7.0.1 either, unless you are on a 7.x CLI ns -v?

[adrian-niculescu]

ns -v
8.2.2

which I did not know existed and which was not affected by npm uninstall -g nativescript. Do you think it's related? Should I manually delete these files?

[rigor789]

Delete /Users/adriann/.local/share/.nativescript-cli/user-settings.json - that seems to be invalid too (likely unrelated, but good to clean stuff up to make sure)

[adrian-niculescu]

I don't have the user-settings.json file actually.

ls -alh  ~/.local/share/.nativescript-cli/user-settings.json

ns create myTestApp --ts; cd myTestApp; ns test init --framework=mocha; ns test android --emulator --justlaunch leads to

I also tried with your version of the CLI

npm install -g nativescript@8.2.2-next-03-11-2022-1970936431

with the same error as before.

I'm using @next only to use the 127.0.0.1 ip in the karma config since I'm on node 17 - otherwise it should be identical. Let see if anyone else with an M1 can run the above and report their results - I'm frankly out of ideas what could possibly be causing it to install old runtime, and not add it to package.json for you...

Thank you! Note that I am on using an Intel mac (Mac Mini 2018); @Andreea1998 is using M1 according to the env info.

I also tried to replicate your env more exactly

node --version
v17.6.0

npm --version
8.5.1

ns --version
8.2.2-next-03-11-2022-1970936431

with the same error as before.
