Karma patterns do not match any files in Angular Project

Problem

I am trying to get a few tests working using Karma and Jasmine in a practice Angular project. When I use attempt to run the Karma tests using the Karma start command in the command line, a browser opens (Chrome, in this case), but does not display any tests. It displays only the Karma version, the debug button, and a message indicating Chrome is idle (see pictures below). In the command line, Karma gives the warning

All files matched by "D:/Documents/CSCI_Project/test-app/*.js" were excluded or matched by prior matchers.

It also gives multiple warnings of the form

Pattern "D:/Documents/CSCI_Project/test/test-app/testPractice.spec.js" does not match any file.

The test file contains a basic test designed to always pass. The absolute path of the file is D:\Documents\CSCI_Project\test-app\test\testPractice.spec.ts

Steps Taken

Based on the errors, it seems that the Karma cannot find my test files using the patterns given in "files" part of the configuration file, karma.config.js. However, I have tried numerous patterns, including listing the exact relative path and ensuring that the path shown in the warning for that pattern is the absolute path of the file.

I think that typescript files are automatically converted to javascript files, but I tried using patterns ending in .ts instead of .js, which resulted in the karma warning Unable to determine file type from the file extension, defaulting to js.

At this point, I cannot think of what else the problem could have been. I am not very familiar with Karma, Jasmine, or Angular.
