TestBed.overrideComponent doesn't update standalone components

[satanTime]

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

core

Is this a regression?

No

Description

This removes imports - expected.

TestBed.overrideComponent(StandaloneComponent, {
  set: {
    imports: [],
  },
});

This doesn't change imports - unexpected.

TestBed.overrideComponent(StandaloneComponent, {
  set: {
    imports: [FakeTestingModule],
  },
});

There is stackblitz example - simply copy/paste the test.spec.ts to an angular v15 (v14 has his issue too) project.

Does anyone have a workaround? 😢

[AndrewKushnir]

@satanTime could you please check if the problem exists in the most recent version of Angular (18.2.2)? There was a fix for providers (58cf389), but it might resolve the issue described here as well. If the problem still exists, we'll perform further investigation. Thank you.

Hello, @AndrewKushnir I can confirm that on version 18.2.5 this issue still exists.

Angular 20 here, still does not work:

  .overrideComponent(MyComponent, {
                remove: {
                    imports: [MyModuleWithDependencies],
                },
                add: {  schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA] },
            })

Does not work, as the build still fails on missing providers from MyModuleWithDependencies.

But, if you set it:

  .overrideComponent(MyComponent, {
                set: {
                    imports: [ <all other imports of MyComponent except MyModuleWithDependencies> ],
                    schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA],
                },
            })

It will work just fine, without the MyModuleWithDependencies.
