Unable to run a simple karma test against my angular 4 code


I'm trying to do a bare minimum test on my Angular 4 components, and I can't get it to work at all.

I'm running this command: karma start src/test/javascript/karma.conf.js

And here is the output: Error: This test module uses the component AppComponent which is using a "templateUrl" or "styleUrls", but they were never compiled. Please call "TestBed.compileComponents" before your test.

Here is my app.component.spec.ts file:

import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import  {AppComponent} from "../../../../../main/webapp/app/admin/app";

describe('AppComponent (minimal)', () => {
    it('should create', () => {
        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            declarations: [ AppComponent ]
        })
            .compileComponents();

        const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
        const component = fixture.componentInstance;
        expect(component).toBeDefined();
    });
});

And I just want to test out some of the functions I created in that app.component.ts file, and maybe test some of the HTTML in app.component.html

And here is my karma.conf.js file:

const webpackConfig = require('../../../webpack/webpack.test.js');

const ChromiumRevision = require('puppeteer/package.json').puppeteer.chromium_revision;
const Downloader = require('puppeteer/utils/ChromiumDownloader');
const revisionInfo = Downloader.revisionInfo(Downloader.currentPlatform(), ChromiumRevision);
process.env.CHROMIUM_BIN = revisionInfo.executablePath;

const WATCH = process.argv.indexOf('--watch') > -1;

module.exports = (config) => {
    config.set({

        singleRun: !WATCH

};

edit: when I try it with this code:

describe('AppComponent', () => {
    let component: AppComponent;
    let fixture: ComponentFixture<AppComponent>;

    beforeEach(async(() => {
        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            declarations: [ AppComponent]
        })
            .compileComponents();
    }));

    beforeEach(() => {
        fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
        component = fixture.componentInstance;
        fixture.detectChanges();
    });

    it('should create', () => {
        expect(component).toBeTruthy();
    });
});

I still get the same error, and here is a bit more of my stacktrace:

I do see this talks about my entry.ts, which is here:

TestBed.initTestEnvironment(BrowserDynamicTestingModule, platformBrowserDynamicTesting());

declare let require: any;
const testsContext: any = require.context('./', true, /\.spec/);
testsContext.keys().forEach(testsContext);
