I'm trying to test a custom component, using the following code:

  • components/MyComponent.xml:
<component name="MyComponent" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://devtools.web.roku.com/schema/RokuSceneGraph.xsd">
    <script type="text/brightscript" uri="pkg:/components/MyComponent.brs" />
</component>
  • components/MyComponent.brs:
function init()
    print "init() called"
end function
  • tests/MyComponent.test.brs:
function main(args as object) as object
    return roca(args).describe("A sample test suite", sub()
        m.it("has a task", sub()
            test = CreateObject("roSGNode", "MyComponent")
            m.assert.isValid(test, "Should be valid")
        end sub)
    end sub)
end function

Running the test always fails with the following output:

      m.assert.isValid: Should be valid
      + expected - actual

      -null
      +non-invalid
      
      at m.assert.isValid (src/tests/MyComponent.test.brs:5:12)

Whenever I try creating another type of object, for instance CreateObject("roDeviceInfo"), then the test succeeds.
