Slow load time for test suite

[srleecode]

Using the test harness code causes the test suite to take 4 seconds on my machine before it starts running. Is this because of all the cdk testing code that is required?

With test harness https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13536934/103714352-971fa900-5012-11eb-89e6-d31cdce80be6.mp4

With default cypress https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13536934/103714928-55dbc900-5013-11eb-9acc-766d71f03bfb.mp4

To reproduce the issue:

• Clone https://github.com/srlee309/component-commands-example
• Run: ng run storybook-example-form:storybook-e2e

Hi @srlee309, sorry for responding so late. Actually, the first start is slow because Cypress has to bundle the CDK testing code. We will probably improve this in the future using our preprocessor here https://github.com/jscutlery/test-utils/tree/main/packages/cypress-angular-preprocessor. Interestingly, the harness test is faster after the build 😊

Fixing this will also help https://github.com/angular/components/issues/22015 as the bundle will be smaller.
