Unable to change the source root

[kpayson]

Current behavior

There is an error opening cypress component testing if the source root folder is not called "src"

In my case the "src" folder is named "ui"
The sourceRoot folder setting is updated in angular.json to reflect the folder name.

"root": "", "sourceRoot": "ui", "prefix": "app",

When I open cypress and go to component testing, I get the following error. I can reproduce this on a brnad new angular application.

Desired behavior

Hey @kpayson thanks for reporting this issue. I was able to recreate this issue. It looks like there is a difference when we start the dev server compared to how Angular is doing it. I've routed this to the component testing team to look into. Thanks!

@kpayson I ran into some issues with a custom srcRoot but couldn't reproduce your exact issue. Could you provide a reproduction of the issue? I have a fix for the issues I saw (assets/favicon loading) but I want to verify that it fixes the issue your facing as well.
