Angular-cli: Disable generate *.spec.ts files

[akarabach]

How to disable *.spec.ts files generation when i generate components/services from console, like this ng g component page1

I use Angular CLI 1.0.0

[dave11mj]

Seems related to https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/6064 and https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/6054 .. I used to think --skip-tests would not generate any any .spec.ts files like on beta. However, based on the comments of https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/6054, it seems on 1.0.0 the intended behavior for --skip-tests was only to not generate the initial test file generated with the app component.

@dave11mj, But what should i do if i already have created a project ?

[akarabach]

--skip-tests - doesn't work

You can disable file generation through your angular-cli.json.
See: schema.json and search for defaults. Each generate command has it's own config.

Closing as above.

@grizzm0 how i can do it in angular-cli.json ? (for example component)

[grizzm0]

Just read the schema file. Set defaults.component.spec to false.
There's lots of stuff you can change. See: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/398356503ab4729cf40587804c44b55eb5c99768/packages/%40angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json#L318-L353

Hi, @grizzm0

I tried to globally disable generation of spec and css file(in .angular-cli.json) when I generate new component. However it doesn't work, files are still created.
I use Angular CLI 1.4.2

Here's my .angular-cli.json:

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",
  "project": {
    "name": "angular5"
  },
  "apps": [
    {
      "root": "src",
      "outDir": "dist",
      "assets": [
        "assets",
        "favicon.ico"
      ],
      "index": "index.html",
      "main": "main.ts",
      "polyfills": "polyfills.ts",
      "test": "test.ts",
      "tsconfig": "tsconfig.app.json",
      "testTsconfig": "tsconfig.spec.json",
      "prefix": "app",
      "styles": [
        "styles.css"
      ],
      "scripts": [],
      "environmentSource": "environments/environment.ts",
      "environments": {
        "dev": "environments/environment.ts",
        "prod": "environments/environment.prod.ts"
      }
    }
  ],
  "e2e": {
    "protractor": {
      "config": "./protractor.conf.js"
    }
  },
  "lint": [
    {
      "project": "src/tsconfig.app.json"
    },
    {
      "project": "src/tsconfig.spec.json"
    },
    {
      "project": "e2e/tsconfig.e2e.json"
    }
  ],
  "test": {
    "karma": {
      "config": "./karma.conf.js"
    }
  },
  "defaults": {
    "styleExt": "css",
    "component": {
      "properties": {
        "spec": {
          "default": false
        },
        "inlineStyle": {
          "default": true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

@it-discovery Besides, you do write this on command line ng g c component-name --spec false

[kylevdr]

@it-discovery it should be like this

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

For Angular 6

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

[FawzyMokhtar]

I confirm that this is the way to do it in Angular 6

[Mathias54]

@alfmoh it worked for me.

But, for module and service I had to put this extra configuration on my angular.json:

  "schematics": {
    "@schematics/angular": {
      "component": {
        "spec": false
      },
      "module": {
        "spec": false
      },
      "service": {
        "spec": false
      }
    }
  }

[sammirzagharcheh]

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

@sammirzagharcheh Isn't ng set deprecated in favor of ng config?
