Thanks! I've confirmed something isn't quite right here. In the interim, if you can use beforeEach to suite your needs, that's the best workaround I have at the moment.

I'm going to label this to get it ingested into our backlog.

Hi @jjmato, little update for ya.

I took a look into what is going on here and identified why the beforeEach setup works while beforeAll fails. Unfortunately, fixing this can result in breaking changes in test execution so this isn't something we'll be able to resolve until Stencil v5 (date TBD).

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we'll get this resolved as soon as we're able.

Hello @tanner-reits.
I wonder if this situation below is the same reseon to that, same got pass in beforeEach but fail in beforeAll:

describe('my-component', () => {
  let page: SpecPage;
  beforeAll(async () => {
    page = await newSpecPage({
      components: [MyComponent],
      html: '<my-component></my-component>',
    });
  });
  it('renders', async () => {
    expect(page.root).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

the test fails with the following error:

 FAIL  src/components/my-component/test/my-component.spec.tsx
  my-component
    × renders (8 ms)

  ● my-component › renders

    expect(received).toBeTruthy()

    Received: null

      76 |   });
      77 |   it('renders', async () => {
    > 78 |     expect(page.root).toBeTruthy();
         |                       ^
      79 |   });
      80 | });
