Get Component without spec.ts file in Angularjs 2

Question

Is there a way to get rid of the spec.ts file in Angularjs 2, whenever I create a new component. I know this is for testing purpose but what if I don't need it.

May be there is some setting to disable this specific testing file.

Answer 1

simply try this one. this is working

ng g c component_name --spec false

Answer 2

For Angular 9 you can use

ng g c "componentName" --spec=false

to generate component without spec file

Answer 3

Updated for angular 8 CLI

ng generate component --skipTests=true component-name

---

Inside your angular-cli.json set the spec.component parameter to false:

{
   ...
   "defaults" : {
       ...
       "spec": {
           ...
           "component": false
       }
   }
}

or use the --spec=false option during creation

ng generate component --spec=false component-name

Answer 4

There is a command for disabling Angular generate "spec" files by default

ng set defaults.class.spec=false
ng set defaults.component.spec=false

UPDATE: For Angular 6

ng config schematics.@schematics/angular.component.spec false

Answer 5

Use also the following command if you want to skip your spec.ts file:

ng g c try-it --skipTests=true

where

g c => generate component , try-it => component name , --skipTest=true => == -- spec false.

Answer 6

here what it is for angular 9

ng g class models\user --skip-tests true

it will not generate spec.ts files.
