Angular 4 Unit Tests (TestBed) extremely slow

It turned out the problem is with Angular as addressed on Github

Below a workaround from the Github discussion that dropped the time for running the tests from more than 40 seconds to just 1 second!

const oldResetTestingModule = TestBed.resetTestingModule;

beforeAll((done) => (async () => {
  TestBed.resetTestingModule();
  TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    // ...
  });

  function HttpLoaderFactory(http: Http) {
    return new TranslateHttpLoader(http, "/api/translations/", "");
  }

  await TestBed.compileComponents();

  // prevent Angular from resetting testing module
  TestBed.resetTestingModule = () => TestBed;
})()
  .then(done)
  .catch(done.fail));
describe('Test name', () => {
    configureTestSuite();

    beforeAll(done => (async () => {
       TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            imports: [HttpClientTestingModule, NgReduxTestingModule],
            providers: []
       });
       await TestBed.compileComponents();

    })().then(done).catch(done.fail));

    it(‘your test', (done: DoneFn) => {

    });
});

Create new file:

    import { getTestBed, TestBed, ComponentFixture } from '@angular/core/testing';
    import { } from 'jasmine';

    export const configureTestSuite = () => {
       const testBedApi: any = getTestBed();
       const originReset = TestBed.resetTestingModule;

       beforeAll(() => {
         TestBed.resetTestingModule();
         TestBed.resetTestingModule = () => TestBed;
       });

       afterEach(() => {
         testBedApi._activeFixtures.forEach((fixture: ComponentFixture<any>) => fixture.destroy());
         testBedApi._instantiated = false;
       });

       afterAll(() => {
          TestBed.resetTestingModule = originReset;
          TestBed.resetTestingModule();
       });
    };

Francesco's answer above is great, but it requires this code at the end. Otherwise other test suites will fail.

    afterAll(() => {
        TestBed.resetTestingModule = oldResetTestingModule;
        TestBed.resetTestingModule();
    });

You may want to try out ng-bullet. It greatly increases execution speed of Angular unit tests. It's also suggested to be used in the official angular repo issue regarding Test Bed unit tests performance: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/12409#issuecomment-425635583

The point is to replace the original beforeEach in the header of each test file

beforeEach(async(() => {
        // a really simplified example of TestBed configuration
        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            declarations: [ /*list of components goes here*/ ],
            imports: [ /* list of providers goes here*/ ]
        })
        .compileComponents();
  }));

with configureTestSuite:

import { configureTestSuite } from 'ng-bullet';
...
configureTestSuite(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
        declarations: [ /*list of components goes here*/ ],
        imports: [ /* list of providers goes here*/ ]
    })
});

I made a little function you can use to speed things up. Its effect is similar to ng-bullet mentioned in other answers, but still cleans up services between tests so that they cannot leak state. The function is precompileForTests, available in n-ng-dev-utils.

Use it like this (from its docs):

// let's assume `AppModule` declares or imports a `HelloWorldComponent`
precompileForTests([AppModule]);

// Everything below here is the same as normal. Just add the line above.

describe("AppComponent", () => {
  it("says hello", async () => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({ declarations: [HelloWorldComponent] });
    await TestBed.compileComponents(); // <- this line is faster
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(HelloWorldComponent);
    expect(fixture.nativeElement.textContent).toContain("Hello, world!");
  });
});
