TSConfig seemingly not used when passed in via angular's build options (see #23161)

[yusijs]

Current behavior

In #23161 we were allowed to pass in an Angular config object, which also includes a tsconfig-path. However, that tsconfig path seems to be fully ignored; if I pass in a random string, everything builds/tests as it should. I dug a bit through the code and looking at e.g

cypress/npm/webpack-dev-server/src/helpers/angularHandler.ts

Line 135 in a9d9711

const tsConfigContent = JSON.stringify({

, it always uses /tsconfig.json.

Desired behavior

In my Angular / NX apps I have:

• tsconfig.json (baseline)
• tsconfig.app.json
• tsconfig.jest.json
• tsconfig.editor.json

I would also like to have a tsconfig.cypress.json to ensure the correct paths etc are used without having to interfere with the rest of my tsconfig-setup.

Test code to reproduce

// cypress.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  component: {
    video: true,
    videosFolder: root + 'dist/cypress/components/videos',
    screenshotsFolder: root + 'dist/cypress/components/screenshots',
    devServer: {
      framework: 'angular',
      bundler: 'webpack',
      options: { // temporary, this will be done automatically when we get it directly from nx
        projectConfig: {
          root: projectRoot,
          sourceRoot: projectRoot + 'src',
          buildOptions: {
            tsConfig: _projectRoot + 'tsconfig.app.json',
            ... more config (that works yay)
          },
        }
      }
    },
    specPattern: 'cypress/specs/**/*.cy.ts',
  },
});

Uh oh, regression - thanks for the reproduction. Knowing where it was introduced is really useful.

Are you interested in making a PR? If not I'll look for someone to pick it up internally.

[yusijs]

Will make a pr for it - I wasn't 100% certain if I misunderstood and it was working as intended ™️.

Edit: pr -> #23696

[cypress-bot]

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#23696, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
