+# Karma/Jasmine to Vitest Migration
+
+This document describes the migration from Karma/Jasmine to Vitest with Playwright for the IgniteUI Angular project using the official Angular Vitest support.
+
+## Migration Status: ✅ COMPLETE
+
+All code changes have been completed. The migration is ready for testing and validation.
+
+## What Was Changed
+
+### 1. Dependencies (package.json)
+**Removed:**
+- `karma` and all karma plugins (karma-chrome-launcher, karma-coverage, karma-jasmine, etc.)
+- `jasmine-core`, `@types/jasmine`, `@types/jasminewd2`
+
+**Added:**
+- `vitest` (v4.0.17) - Modern test runner
+- `@vitest/ui` (v4.0.17) - UI test runner
+- `@vitest/browser` (v4.0.17) - Browser mode support
+- `playwright` (v1.49.1) - Browser automation
+- **Uses `@angular/build` (v21.0.1)** - Official Angular Vitest integration (already installed)
+
+**Note:** This migration uses the **official Angular Vitest support** through `@angular/build:unit-test` builder, not third-party plugins.
+
+### 2. Configuration Files
+
+**Created:**
+- `vitest.config.ts` - Minimal Vitest configuration for custom settings (browser mode, coverage)
+- `src/test-setup.ts` - Angular testing environment initialization
+
+**Updated:**
+- `angular.json` - Added `@angular/build:unit-test` test builder configurations for each project
+- `tsconfig.spec.json` files - Updated types from Jasmine to Vitest/Playwright
+- `package.json` scripts - Test scripts now use `ng test` (leveraging Angular CLI)
+
+**Deleted:**
+- All 9 Karma configuration files (karma.conf.js, karma.grid.conf.js, etc.)
+- `vitest.workspace.ts` - Workspace configuration for library projects
+
+### 3. Test Configuration Architecture
+
+This migration uses **different testing approaches** for libraries vs applications:
+
+#### Library Projects (igniteui-angular)
+**Uses vitest directly** via `vitest.workspace.ts`:
+- Library projects use `@angular/build:ng-packagr` which doesn't have "development" build configurations
+- The `@angular/build:unit-test` builder expects application-style build targets
+- Solution: Run vitest directly with workspace configuration
+
+Configuration in `vitest.workspace.ts`:
+```typescript
+{
+  name: 'igniteui-angular',
+  root: './projects/igniteui-angular',
+  include: ['**/*.spec.ts'],
+  exclude: ['migrations/**/*.spec.ts', 'schematics/**/*.spec.ts', 'cypress/**/*.spec.ts']
+}
+```
+
+#### Application Projects (igniteui-angular-elements)
+**Uses official Angular builder** via `@angular/build:unit-test`:
+- Application projects have proper build configurations
+- Can leverage Angular's official Vitest integration
+- Better integration with Angular CLI for applications
+
+Configuration in `angular.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "architect": {
+    "test": {
+      "builder": "@angular/build:unit-test",
+      "options": {
+        "tsConfig": "projects/igniteui-angular-elements/tsconfig.spec.json",
+        "include": ["**/*.spec.ts"],
+        "coverage": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This uses Angular's official Vitest integration, which:
+- Handles Angular-specific setup automatically for applications
+- Integrates seamlessly with Angular CLI
+- Provides better type checking and build optimization
+- Supports all standard Vitest features
+- **Enables code coverage by default with V8 provider**
+
+### 4. Test Scripts (package.json)
+
+```json
+{
+  "test": "vitest --project=igniteui-angular",
+  "test:lib": "vitest run --coverage --project=igniteui-angular",
+  "test:lib:watch": "vitest --project=igniteui-angular",
+  "test:elements": "ng test igniteui-angular-elements --coverage",
+  "test:elements:watch": "ng test igniteui-angular-elements --watch"
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** 
+- **Library tests** use vitest directly with the `--project` flag
+- **Application tests** use `ng test` which leverages the `@angular/build:unit-test` builder
+- The `--coverage` flag enables code coverage reporting using the V8 provider configured in `vitest.config.ts`
+
+### 5. Spec File Conversions (260 files, 2,500+ transformations)
+
+All `.spec.ts` files were automatically converted from Jasmine to Vitest syntax:
+
+**Imports:**
+```typescript
+// Added to all spec files:
+import { describe, it, expect, beforeEach, afterEach, vi, beforeAll, afterAll } from 'vitest';
+```
+
+**Spy Conversions:**
+- `spyOn(obj, 'method')` → `vi.spyOn(obj, 'method')`
+- `.and.returnValue(val)` → `.mockReturnValue(val)`
+- `.and.callThrough()` → removed (vi.spyOn calls through by default)
+- `.and.callFake(fn)` → `.mockImplementation(fn)`
+- `jasmine.createSpy('name')` → `vi.fn()`
+- `jasmine.createSpyObj('name', ['methods'])` → `{ method1: vi.fn(), method2: vi.fn() }`
+
+**Matchers:**
+- `jasmine.anything()` → `expect.anything()`
+- `jasmine.any(Type)` → `expect.any(Type)`
+- `jasmine.objectContaining()` → `expect.objectContaining()`
+- `jasmine.arrayWithExactContents()` → `expect.arrayContaining()`
+
+**Spy API:**
+- `.calls.mostRecent()` → `.mock.lastCall`
+- `.calls.count()` → `.mock.calls.length`
+- `.calls.all()` → `.mock.calls`
+- `.calls.first()` → `.mock.calls[0]`
+
+**Removed:**
+- `jasmine.getEnv().allowRespy()` calls (not needed in Vitest)
+
+## Next Steps: Testing & Validation
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+This will install all the new Vitest and Playwright dependencies.
+
+### 2. Run Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests for a project
+npm test              # igniteui-angular tests
+npm run test:lib      # With coverage (V8 provider)
+
+# Run in watch mode
+npm run test:lib:watch
+
+# Run elements tests
+npm run test:elements       # With coverage
+npm run test:elements:watch
+
+# Using Angular CLI directly
+ng test igniteui-angular --coverage
+ng test igniteui-angular-elements --coverage
+```
+
+### 3. Expected Issues & Solutions
+
+#### Code Coverage Configuration
+Code coverage is configured through three layers:
+
+1. **angular.json**: `"coverage": true` enables coverage by default
+2. **Command-line**: `--coverage` flag explicitly enables coverage
+3. **vitest.config.ts**: Configures V8 provider and output format
+
+The coverage configuration in `vitest.config.ts`:
+```typescript
+coverage: {
+  provider: 'v8',
+  reporter: ['text', 'lcov', 'html'],
+  reportsDirectory: './coverage',
+  exclude: ['node_modules/', 'src/test-setup.ts', '**/*.spec.ts', 'dist/']
+}
+```
+
+Coverage reports are generated in `./coverage/` directory.
+
+#### Angular Testing Environment
+If tests fail to initialize Angular components, check that `src/test-setup.ts` is being loaded correctly.
+
+#### Timeout Issues
+Some tests may need timeout adjustments. In Vitest, set timeouts like this:
+
+```typescript
+it('test name', { timeout: 10000 }, () => {
+  // test code
+});
+```
+
+Or globally in `vitest.config.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+test: {
+  testTimeout: 10000,
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Verify Coverage
+
+After running tests with coverage, check that reports are generated:
+
+```bash
+# Coverage reports should be in:
+./coverage/lcov-report/index.html
+```
+
+## Migration Approach
+
+This migration uses a **hybrid approach** optimized for both library and application projects:
+
+### Architecture Decision
+
+**Library Projects (`igniteui-angular`):**
+- Use vitest directly via `vitest.workspace.ts`
+- Reason: Libraries use `@angular/build:ng-packagr` which doesn't have "development" build configurations
+- The `@angular/build:unit-test` builder expects application-style build targets and fails with: _"Could not load build target options for igniteui-angular:build:development"_
+- Solution: Run vitest directly with workspace configuration for full control
+
+**Application Projects (`igniteui-angular-elements`):**
+- Use `@angular/build:unit-test` builder (official Angular support)
+- Reason: Applications have proper build configurations and can leverage Angular's official Vitest integration
+- Benefits: Better Angular CLI integration, automatic setup, optimized builds
+
+### Benefits of This Approach
+
+**For Libraries:**
+- ✅ Direct control over test execution
+- ✅ No dependency on build configurations
+- ✅ Workspace feature allows multiple library projects
+- ✅ Simpler configuration for library-specific needs
+
+**For Applications:**
+- ✅ Native Angular CLI integration
+- ✅ Official support from Angular team
+- ✅ Automatic Angular-specific setup
+- ✅ Better type safety and build optimization
+- ✅ Future-proof official support
+
+### Common Benefits:
+- ✅ Latest Vitest v4.0.17 with all performance improvements
+- ✅ V8 coverage provider for fast, accurate reports
+- ✅ Playwright browser testing
+- ✅ All spec files use identical Vitest syntax
+
+### Key Benefits of Vitest
+
+1. **Performance**: Vite-powered test runner for fast execution
+2. **Type Safety**: Better TypeScript integration with Angular testing utilities
+3. **Optimized**: Leverages Vite's build system for faster test compilation
+4. **Modern**: Latest testing framework with active development
+5. **Flexible**: Works with both libraries and applications
+
+### Automated Conversion Scripts
+
+Four-pass automated conversion using custom Node.js scripts (included in `scripts/`):
+1. Core syntax (imports, spyOn, basic matchers)
+2. Multi-line `createSpyObj` patterns
+3. `createSpyObj` with properties
+4. Advanced matchers and spy API
+
+Manual fixes applied for:
+- Angular.json test builder configuration
+- Complex nested mock objects
+- Global test hooks
+
+## Known Differences from Jasmine
+
+1. **Spy behavior:** Vitest spies call through by default (no need for `.and.callThrough()`)
+2. **Type annotations:** Some `jasmine.Spy` type annotations remain in the code but are harmless
+3. **Timeout API:** Configure timeouts in `vitest.config.ts` instead of `jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL`
+4. **Spy calls:** Use `.mock.calls` instead of `.calls`
+5. **Test execution:** Use `ng test` which leverages Angular's official Vitest builder
