Angular 16 not detected by CT

[MikeMcC399]

Current behavior

After Angular 16 has been installed, the Cypress desktop app in Component Testing mode does not detect the installation and shows the message "Waiting for you to install the dependencies".

Desired behavior

Angular 16 should be detected in Component Testing. The Cypress 12.11.0 changelog specifically mentions this as:

• Added Component Testing support for Angular 16. Addresses Add Component Testing Support for Angular 16 #26044.

Test code to reproduce

mkdir cy-angular-ct
cd cy-angular-ct
git init
npm init -y
npm install cypress@12.13.0 -D -E
npx cypress open

Click on "Component Testing"
Select Front-end framework Angular
Click "Next step"
Copy and paste the command as instructed:
npm install -D @angular/cli @angular-devkit/build-angular @angular/core @angular/common @angular/platform-browser-dynamic
Note: The spinner and the text "Waiting for you to install the dependencies" remain displayed

• It looks like a similar root cause to fix: Correct typescript scaffold dependency #26815 concerning putting the version in single quotes.

It looks like each line

minVersion: '^=13.0.0 || ^=14.0.0 || ^=15.0.0' || '^=16.0.0',

should be

minVersion: '^=13.0.0 || ^=14.0.0 || ^=15.0.0 || ^=16.0.0',

Do you want a PR for this issue? I have a fix branch prepared if you would like it.
Would it be too late for Cypress 12.13.1 or is there still time?

[jordanpowell88]

@MikeMcC399 here is my PR that should get this released next week #26908

I somehow missed your new PR. It's very good you have one prepared anyway!

I was really just practising because although I have submitted a lot of other PRs into the Cypress eco-system I had never done one for the core Cypress product, so at least I have now done a dry run of preparation and testing ready for some other future PR! I'll delete my branch now as it is more or less a duplicate of yours (except I added to 12.13.1 and yours is for 12.14.0 in the changelog).

[jordanpowell88]

Well you are a legend inside of Cypress and we appreciate all your work. We are never short of things to be do so I'm sure we can get a PR merged soon enough

Released in 12.14.0.
