🔥 NG generate web worker breaks unit tests in Angular 12

[rustygreen]

🐞 Bug Report

Affected Package

The issue involves the generator for service workers when using Angular 12.

Is this a regression?

The issue was not present in previous versions of Angular. It only started happening for Angular 12.

Description

When adding a web worker in Angular12 (now required to use the import.meta.url due to webpack 5 - as the Angular docs describe), unit tests will not run:

Minimal Reproduction

1. Create a new Angular 12 application using the CLI npx -p @angular/cli ng new worker-test --style=scss --routing cd new worker-test
2. Generate a web worker using the CLI npm run ng -- generate web-worker my-test-worker

3. Add web worker usage in app.component.ts

   ngOnInit():void{
   // NOTE: using new URL('', import.meta.url) breaks unit test compilation in v12.
   const worker = new Worker(new URL('./my-test-worker.worker', import.meta.url));
   worker.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
     console.log(`page got message: ${data}`);
   };
   
   worker.postMessage('hello');
   }

4. Run npm run test

For new projects this is fixed via https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/21057.

For existing projects, in angular.json you need to specify the web-worker tsconfig path in using the webWorkerTsConfigoption under the test builder.

That did it. Thanks, @alan-agius4!
