Feature Request: Provision to put test files in feature folder instead of tests folder

It will be great if we can put our test files in the respective feature folder instead of putting all the test files in app/tests folder.

When we do development for web version of angular application, we put the test files in respective feature folders with .spec.ts suffix as per the angular style guide.

If we can do the same thing in angularNative app also, it will be very easy to get started and it will open a way for unit-test code sharing. As currently we have different structures for test files in nativescript and web version, we cannot share the unit-test files easily and we need to manually copy the unit-test files and change the import path of the module being tested in test file for any cross platform shared code.

I thought to run a script which copies all the .spec.ts file to tests folder from feature folders, but then it will add complexities like adding new/changed test files back to app/tests folder in watch mode.

Let me know if there is already some way and I am missing that.

Thanks.

I've built this plugin https://github.com/JuanDelgadillo/nativescript-tests-hook to develop our tests according to the angular style guide while the nativescript-cli's team finish with this feature :) hope it can help you.

We were using the rachnerd-test-plugin, but it is not compatible with a node version higher than 6. We would like to upgrade to the latest NS version and also bump our node version, so we're looking into a new solution. Is there already progress made on this issue?
