Additional Information

I am configuring Cypress to test Angular 15 components. We have a naming convention to put the "+" sign in front of the folder name, containing the component files. When I mount the component, cypress gives a "No tests found" error, which according to the documentation could be caused by a syntax error.

It is easily reproduceable. Create a new Angular 15 project and create a component in a folder that has the "+" sign in front of it:

If I remove the "+" sign or even change the naming to have a different special character, such as "_", it works:

Could you share more information? As it stands, it's a bit strange to assert something because I've been using this "+" symbol mapping quite a lot on the platform where I work. It will depend on how it's mapped.

@Joao848846 What additional information do you need? It is a new Angular 15 project, in which you add the "+" symbol in front of the folder name of a component and that's it. Cypress doesn't detect the path to the test files and displays "No tests found", as seen in the screenshot. It's reproduceable.

Is it documentation issue or just cypress issue ???

Is it documentation issue or just cypress issue ???

It's a cypress issue. I created it here by mistake, but I added the same issue in the other project as well Link
