Repro steps
- Setup an Angular app with many unit test cases
- Run your unit tests
- While they are running, change a file and force to run a single case set to run (by using
fdescribeorfit)
Observed behavior
It will recompile (or at least it looks like it) but it will still keep continuing the previous run instead of starting a new one with the specific test cases set.
So every time I need to use fdescribe or fit I need either to wait that the current test run finishes or I have to manually kill and restart `ng test
Desired behavior
Whenever something changes in the code, ng test should just recompile and rerun again from the beginning and taking into account any changes related to the test cases set to run (e.g. any usage of fdescribe or fit should be taken into account without the need of restarting the cli process)
