Just adding this bit of information because I found myself struggling with the same issue and could not fix it by using the current answer(s), plus I did not want to make the changes on the angular-cli.json file. It appears the recent version of Angular CLI --spec=false is depreciated and therefore no longer works, use --skipTests instead.

Test on:

Angular CLI: 9.1.1
Node: 12.16.1
OS: win32 x64

Your command with then be: ng g c mycomponent --skipTests instead of ng g c mycomponent --spec=false

PS: Always test your commands using the --dry-run option to test your output.
