Unable to generate karma.conf in Angular

Question

I am practicing CI/CD and started to configure karma.conf. However, I found that Angular projects no longer have karma.conf, and the official recommendation "ng generate config karma" doesn't work and gives me the following error: "Error: Unknown argument: karma". How can I resolve this issue?

Thank any help!

Here is my version information:

Angular CLI: 15.0.5
Node: 19.7.0 (Unsupported)
Package Manager: npm 9.5.0
OS: darwin x64

Angular: 15.2.1
... animations, cdk, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... material, platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic, router

update your angular version and run
