Just try to configure a test module

Is there code involved? If so, please share the minimal amount of code needed to recreate the problem.

import { TestBed } from "@angular/core/testing";

                NativeScriptModule,

        });
    });
});

Is TestBed supported in NativeScript? It seems like there are a bunch of potential workarounds that everyone tries, but without success. It is very important for my team to be able to use TestBed to initialize components which have numerous dependencies.

Hey,

I have been working on trying to get TestBed configured properly in NativeScript for a month now and still haven’t gotten it. The example provided is not sufficient as I have attempted to reproduce it and still face issues. I am unsure of what I am doing wrong.

Please checkout my Stack Overflow question if you have been able to get TestBed working in NativeScript I would very much appreciate it.
