CT: cypress doesn't recognize "+" symbol in the path to the Angular component

[bobige]

Current behavior

Importing an angular component into a test file, when the component folder name starts with a "+" symbol, is not possible.

Desired behavior

Cypress imports components that have the "+" symbol at the start of the containing folder name.

Test code to reproduce

1. Create a new Angular 15 project.
2. Create a component in a folder that has the "+" sign in front of it
3. Create a basic test file for the component and just mount it.
4. See error

I am configuring Cypress to test Angular 15 components. We have a naming convention to put the "+" sign in front of the folder name, containing the component files. When I mount the component, cypress gives a "No tests found" error, which according to the documentation could be caused by a syntax error.

It is easily reproduceable. Create a new Angular 15 project and create a component in a folder that has the "+" sign in front of it. I also use Chrome 124:

If I remove the "+" sign or even change the naming to have a different special character, such as "_", it works:

@jennifer-shehane Hello, is there a way to check if the test works properly with the modified code in my local environment?
