Angular Component Styles Not Applied

I am working on an Angular application, and I am facing an issue where styles defined within a component are not being applied as expected. I have tried several troubleshooting steps, but none seem to have worked. The same setup works in a newly created Angular project, so I suspect there may be an issue with my existing project configuration.

1.** Component Setup:** I have a simple Angular component with inline styles that should change the color of an h1 element to red.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'cm-test',
templateUrl: './test.component.html',
styles: [
`h1 { color: red !important; }`
],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None // I changed this to None
})
export class TestComponent implements OnInit {

constructor() { }

ngOnInit(): void { }
}


2.HTML Template: The component's HTML template contains an h1 element:

<h1>test works!</h1>



3.Issue: The color: red !important style is not being applied to the h1 element. Despite trying the following solutions, the styles do not apply:

• Used ViewEncapsulation.None (to disable component-level scoping)
• Used ::ng-deep (deprecated but still functional)
• Tried color: red without !important
• Checked the browser developer tools to ensure the style isn't being overridden
• Tested with simple inline styles like h1 { color: red; }
• Cleared browser cache and rebuilt the Angular project
• Add Styles in separated files and import it within styleUrls
