Hello, I have the same issue with angular 14.2.12

@schuchard could you help us with it?

[schuchard]

My initial thought is that the @angular-builders/jest version is incompatible with your version of Angular and it's manifesting through @angular-devkit/build-angular.

I've laid the groundwork for configuring this schematic's dependences with optional version numbers.

Couple options:

• quick fix: hardcode compatible versions in this schematic, though it would eventually need to be updated
• more work: create a CLI prompt to manually set package versions

hello! @Shestak2039 did you find a solution? I have the same issue and the same version

For Angular 14 (where the problem is also reproducible) I did it like this:

npm i -D @angular-builders/jest@^14 && npx ng add @briebug/jest-schematic@^5

I was having issues with the ng add @briebug/jest-schematic command on my angular 15.2.7 application and the equivalent worked for me, ymmv

npm i -D @angular-builders/jest@^15 && npx ng add @briebug/jest-schematic@^6
