CLI Command

ng generate component your-component-name --skipTests=true

or using the alias s instead of --skipTests

ng generate component your-component-name -s=true

Modifying angular.json to avoid using above CLI command always

Copy the below snippet to the root of a specific project (projects.your-project-name) in its angular.json.

The below will ensure .spec files are not created for Components, Class, Directives, Pipe and Service with the ng generate command. You may choose the ones as per requirement.

{
  ...
  "projects": {
    "your-project-name": {
      ...
      "schematics": {
        "@schematics/angular:component": {
          "style": "scss",
          "skipTests": true
        },
        "@schematics/angular:class": {
          "skipTests": true
        },
        "@schematics/angular:directive": {
          "skipTests": true
        },
        "@schematics/angular:pipe": {
          "skipTests": true
        },
        "@schematics/angular:service": {
          "skipTests": true
        }
      },
    ...
}

PS: The --spec=false option is now deprecated and will not work
