Error: Can't resolve all parameters for ApplicationModule: (?). when running ng test after upgrading to angular 7

Question

I'm right now upgrading my project from angular version 5.2 to angular version 7.2.

I ran the following commands:

1. Upgraded all angular packages package.json to ~7.2.0

2. ran ng upgrade @angular/cli

3. ran ng upgrade @angular/core

4. ran ng test and got the error:

Chrome 68.0.3440 (Windows 8.1.0.0) NdvAction ndv!!!! FAILED Error: Can't resolve all parameters for ApplicationModule: (?). at syntaxError node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:2426:1) at CompileMetadataResolver.push../node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js.CompileMetadataResolver._getDependenciesMetadata node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:18979:1) at CompileMetadataResolver.push../node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js.CompileMetadataResolver._getTypeMetadata node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:18872:1) at CompileMetadataResolver.push../node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js.CompileMetadataResolver.getNgModuleMetadata node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:18740:1) at CompileMetadataResolver.push../node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js.CompileMetadataResolver.getNgModuleSummary node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:18550:1) at http://localhost:9876/_karma_webpack_/webpack:/node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:18664:1 at Array.forEach (<anonymous>) at CompileMetadataResolver.push../node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js.CompileMetadataResolver.getNgModuleMetadata node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:18652:1) at CompileMetadataResolver.push../node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js.CompileMetadataResolver.getNgModuleSummary node_modules/@angular/compiler/fesm5/compiler.js:18550:1) Chrome 68.0.3440 (Windows 8.1.0.0): Executed 1 of 395 (1 FAILED) (skipped 394) ERROR (0.527 secs / 0.038 secs)

I could minimal reproduce the issue on my project itself, couldn't reproduce it on an empty project, I created an empty service:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable()
export class NdvAction {
}

with an empty test case:

import { TestBed, inject } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { NdvAction } from './ndv.action';

fdescribe('NdvAction', () => {
  let target: NdvAction;

  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      providers: [NdvAction]
    });
  });

  beforeEach(inject([NdvAction],
    (service: NdvAction) => {
      target = service;
    }));

  it('ndv!!!!', () => {});
});

and I've got the error, when I removed the beforeEach with the inject([NdvAction] part, the error disappeared. Any idea what I'm doing wrong ? If you need any more details please let me know so that I'll add. My package.json looks like this:
