@yringler,

You need to update your nativescript-dev-webpack plugin and webpack.config.js file.

rm -rf webpack.config.js
npm i nativescript-dev-webpack@latest --save-dev

After that you can initialize the tests and run them.

tns test init
tns test android --bundle

Thank you.
That gets me up to #3146.
Closing this, as that issue is already there.

@yringler,

The workaround for #3146 is rm -rf platforms before tns test command.

[yringler]

No luck.
I had already tried git clean -xdf.
Tried rm -rf platforms then test, but same error: first "disconnected", then "no reachable hosts"

@yringler,

Can you please ensure that you passed --bundle option to the command?

If this is not the case, you need to ensure that the device and your computer are in the same network. This is a requirement in order to run unit tests on a connected device.

[yringler]

They were indeed on a different network; PC on wifi, and phone on data.
I'll take a look.

[yringler]

Although as per #4574, it seems that the new webpack (which is needed for unit tests) breaks uglify, so I don't know if I'd want it on my main branch yet.
However, I'll try again (using the same network) on my unit test branch when I have a chance, and I'll keep you posted.
Ty.

I am also facing some issues while running the test cases. They get executed and suddenly mobile application on which test results are being displayed gets shut down.
Error What I get is disconnectedClient disconnected from CONNECTED state (transport error)

I neither able to see my test cases on mobile neither on browser.
