ng test does not use --proxy-config

[gpeel]

Spec request:

I would like to pass integration test with karma,
but ng test does not use -proxy-config.

So I have to change all mu URL + enable CORS to test my backend ... not very ptratical.

Could you activate this option ?

Do you pass the --proxy-config flag when starting ng test?

[gpeel]

yes when i run ng test --proxy-config proxy-config.json
here is the console:

angular-tp-basic-http@0.0.0 testp C:\me\js\Angular__tp-ng_innersource\Angular-tp-basic-http

ng test --proxy-config proxy-config.json

The option '--proxy-config' is not registered with the test command. Run ng test --help for a list of supported options.

By now you can achieve the same result configuring the karma.conf.js 'proxies' param:

proxies: {
      '/api': {
        'target': 'http://localhost:8080/api',
        'changeOrigin': true
      }
    }

yes I know, that's what I have found and used.
Still, it would be nice to have the same API for CLI exec and CLI test.

It is true that the unit tests do not share the serving setup as present in ng serve, but this is not something we intend to add.

ng serve is meant to provide a development server, and also provides some convenience features for common cases. For more complex cases, like proxies that need to be available for both serving and testing, the intent is to setup a more robust proxy on your machine that fits your specific needs.

Karma itself allows some proxying behaviour, but it is not very elaborate either.
