I used to have a project based on

Answer 1

This is working for me in Angular 7. It is based on the --main option of the ng command. I am not sure if this option is undocumented and possibly subject to change, but it works for me. I put a line in my package.json file in scripts section. There using the --main option of with the ng test command, I specify the path to the .spec.ts file I want to execute. For example

"test 1": "ng test --main E:/WebRxAngularClient/src/app/test/shared/my-date-utils.spec.ts",

You can run the script as you run any such script. I run it in Webstorm by clicking on "test 1" in the npm section.
