Json - Angular 6 - How to stop generating spec files

In Angular 6 (and later versions), you can control whether or not to generate spec files (unit test files) when creating new components, services, etc., using the Angular CLI. Here's how you can stop generating spec files:

Option 1: Using Angular CLI Command

When generating a new component, service, or other Angular entities using the Angular CLI (ng generate or ng g), you can use the --skipTests flag to skip generating spec files.

For example, to generate a new component without spec files:

ng generate component my-component --skipTests

Or using the shorthand notation:

ng g c my-component --skipTests

Option 2: Configuring Angular CLI Globally

If you want to configure Angular CLI globally to skip generating spec files by default for all commands, you can set this in the Angular CLI configuration file (angular.json).

  1. Open your angular.json file.

  2. Locate the schematics section under projects > your-project-name > architect > build > options.

  3. Add a configuration for the specific schematics you want to adjust. For example, to disable generating spec files for components:

    "schematics": {
    "@schematics/angular:component": {
        "skipTests": true
    }
}

    This configuration ensures that whenever you generate a new component using ng generate component, Angular CLI will skip generating spec files automatically.

Notes

  • Fine-grained Control: The --skipTests or skipTests: true configuration applies to different schematics (@schematics/angular:component, @schematics/angular:service, etc.) as needed.

  • Unit Testing: Skipping spec files may not be recommended for production projects as unit tests are crucial for ensuring code quality and correctness. Consider disabling spec files only in specific scenarios like quick prototyping or for certain files that won't be unit-tested.

By using these methods, you can control the generation of spec files in your Angular 6 (or later) projects, tailoring the Angular CLI's behavior to suit your development needs efficiently.

Examples

  1. How to disable generating spec files for Angular components in Angular 6?

    {
  "defaults": {
    "component": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}

    Description: This angular.json snippet configures Angular CLI to skip generating spec files (*.spec.ts) for new components by default.

  2. Angular 6 configuration to prevent generating spec files for services

    {
  "defaults": {
    "service": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}

    Description: Modify angular.json to skip generating spec files (*.spec.ts) for services created with Angular CLI in Angular 6 projects.

  3. How to configure Angular CLI to not create spec files for modules in Angular 6?

    {
  "defaults": {
    "module": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}

    Description: Adjust angular.json to skip generating spec files (*.spec.ts) for modules when using Angular CLI in Angular 6+.

  4. Angular 6 disable spec file creation for new directives

    {
  "defaults": {
    "directive": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}

    Description: Use this angular.json configuration to prevent Angular CLI from generating spec files (*.spec.ts) for new directives in Angular 6 projects.

  5. Stop generating spec files for Angular 6 pipes

    {
  "defaults": {
    "pipe": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}

    Description: Modify angular.json to skip generating spec files (*.spec.ts) for pipes created with Angular CLI in Angular 6+.

  6. Angular 6 configuration to skip spec file generation for guards

    {
  "defaults": {
    "guard": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}

    Description: Adjust angular.json to disable spec file creation (*.spec.ts) for guards generated by Angular CLI in Angular 6 projects.

  7. How to prevent Angular CLI from creating spec files for components in Angular 6?

    {
  "projects": {
    "<your-project-name>": {
      "schematics": {
        "@schematics/angular:component": {
          "skipTests": true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

    Description: Configure specific project settings in angular.json to skip generating spec files (*.spec.ts) for components when using Angular 6+.

  8. Angular 6 disable generating spec files for specific component types

    {
  "schematics": {
    "@schematics/angular:component": {
      "skipTests": true
    },
    "@schematics/angular:service": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}

    Description: Modify angular.json to prevent Angular CLI from creating spec files (*.spec.ts) for both components and services in Angular 6 projects.

  9. How to skip generating spec files for Angular 6 components using CLI options

    ng generate component my-component --skipTests

    Description: Use the --skipTests option with ng generate component to avoid creating spec files (*.spec.ts) for new components in Angular 6+.

  10. Angular 6 configuration to globally disable spec file creation for all schematics

    {
  "schematics": {
    "@schematics/angular:component": {
      "skipTests": true
    },
    "@schematics/angular:service": {
      "skipTests": true
    },
    "@schematics/angular:module": {
      "skipTests": true
    },
    "@schematics/angular:directive": {
      "skipTests": true
    },
    "@schematics/angular:pipe": {
      "skipTests": true
    },
    "@schematics/angular:class": {
      "skipTests": true
    },
    "@schematics/angular:guard": {
      "skipTests": true
    }
  }
}
