Angular 6 + CLI (TypeScript) - How to stop generating .spec.ts test files

Question

I know it\'s kind of a bad practice, but bear with me:

I\'m using Angular-CLI, particularly ng g to generate all of my classes. However

Answer 1

You can run this command to disable spec file generation for a specific type of file:

ng set defaults.spec.FILETYPE false

For example:

ng set defaults.spec.component false // Won't generate spec files for .component files

Alternately you can just disable all spec file generation from the angular-cli.json file.

{
  ...
  "defaults": {
    "spec": {
      "class": false,
      "component": false,
      "directive": false,
      "module": false,
      "pipe": false,
      "service": false
    }
  }
}

Answer 2

you can add --spec=false

example

ng g c home --spec=false

log will be

CREATE src/app/home/home.component.scss (0 bytes)
CREATE src/app/home/home.component.html (23 bytes)
CREATE src/app/home/home.component.ts (262 bytes)
UPDATE src/app/app.module.ts (467 bytes)

Answer 3

you can add --skipTests=true|false if true it wont generate any spec.ts

example : ng g component componentName --skipTests=true

this line wont generate any spec.ts files

EDIT:

Note: As of angular 7 this command doesn't work, even though this command is mentioned on the official website of angular. Here: https://angular.io/cli/generate#component

Answer 4

you can try --skip-tests when you creating your app like below.

ng new yourProjectName --skip-tests

Answer 5

Add Following code on Angular.json

"schematics": {
    "@schematics/angular": {
      "component": {
        "spec": false
      }
    }
  }
