Cypress component tests failing after enabling esbuild in Angular 17 app

[Tungsten78]

Current Behavior

nx run my-project:component-test fails with Error: Missing executor options "main".

• This started occurring after migrating to esbuild in the targeted angular app (devServerTarget).
• Reverting the application builder restores the tests

Expected Behavior

Component tests should work with the application builder.
