Tests without WebGL Context

[AmitMY]

@google/model-viewer v4.0.0 (also tried v3.5.0)

When running tests in CI (GitHub Actions, without a screen), there seems to be an issue i was not having before:

TypeError: this.threeRenderer is undefined thrown

and

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'xr') thrown

which come together with (it seems):

Hmm, I haven't seen that - I'm guessing something else is different, since our CI is not having this problem. Would you mind sending a PR to see if you can trigger the problem here on our CI?

Seems like you were having the same issue: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-chrome-launcher/issues/263 Unfortunately, using Angular, it seems like I can't easily migrate off of Karma.

We're currently evaluating Web Test Runner, Vitest, and Jest as candidates for a new test runner for Angular projects while preserving Jasmine as assertion library to not break existing tests.

So it might be a problem of the test runner rather than the library

Oh yeah, Karma is dead. We moved to web-test-runner; it's way better.
