Currently we only run Saucelabs on PRs using the legacy View Engine
build. Switching that build to Ivy is not trivial and there are various
options:
1. Updating the R3 switches to use POST_R3 by default. At first glance,
this doesn't look easy because the current ngtsc switch logic seems to
be unidirectional (only PRE_R3 to POST_R3).
2. Updating the legacy setup to run with Ivy. This sounds like the easiest
solution at first.. but it turns out to be way more complicated. Packages
would need to be built with ngtsc using legacy tools (i.e. first building
the compiler-cli; and then building packages) and View Engine only tests
would need to be determined and filtered out. Basically it will result in
re-auditing all test targets. This is contradictory to the fact that we have
this information in Bazel already.
3. Creating a new job that runs tests on Saucelabs with Bazel. We specify
fine-grained test targets that should run. This would be a good start
(e.g. acceptance tests) and also would mean that we do not continue maintaining
the legacy setup..
This commit implements the third option as it allows us to move forward
with the general Bazel migration. We don't want to spend too much time
on our legacy setup since it will be removed anyway in the future.
PR Close#34277
This is a breaking change in nodejs rules 0.40.0 as part of the API review & cleanup for the 1.0 release. Their APIs are identical as ts_web_test was just karma_web_test without the config_file attribute.
