HTML with external CSS

I’m attempting to write a module that includes a test. I want to test the component’s external CSSs. I believe I did everything correctly, yet I was unable to pass the test. Here’s my code: app.component.spec.ts

import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";
import { async, TestBed } from "@angular/core/testing";
import { By } from "@angular/platform-browser";

describe("App Component", function () {
    beforeEach(async(() => {
        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            declarations: [AppComponent],
        }).compileComponents()
    }));
    it("should instantiate component", () => {
        let fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
        expect(fixture.componentInstance instanceof AppComponent).toBe(true);
    });
    it("should have expected <h1> text", () => {
        let fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
        fixture.detectChanges();

        let h1 = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css("h1"));

        expect(h1.nativeElement.innerText).toBe("hello world!");

        expect(h1.nativeElement.style.colour).toBe("red");
    });
});

and app.component.ts:

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
    moduleId: module.id,
    selector: "nebula-app",
    styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"],
    templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
})
export class AppComponent { }

also app.component.html:

<h1>hello world!</h1>

at last app.component.css

h1{
    color: red;
}

Only the last expectation will fail. It considers h1.nativeElement.style.color to be empty. It appears that the CSS was not loaded properly. This test will pass if I use the inline style in html as described in this article. But, having it as an external CSS will fail the test.

What am I doing incorrectly? Is it correct that the compileComponents should load the external CSS and apply it to the nativeElement’s style?

Probably that?
