How to create only spec.ts file with Angular CLI?

Question

I was creating the Angular component with --spec=false but now I need to do unit test, is there a way to create only spec.ts files with Angular CLI?

dont think you have special command for this, but it very easy to add such file manually — happyZZR1400, Feb 05 '18 at 11:54

Currently, Angular CLI does not provide this functionality. However, you can make a pull request to the @angular/cli team to integrate your idea, and if the code works and the idea seems good enough, they might add it.

Or, you can use SimonTest is an extension to VS Code that generates tests for existing files.

Yes. SimonTest is the app for creating a spec.ts file within an existing component folder. – William Hou Aug 19 '19 at 18:28

According to this Feature Request, it has not been implemented at this time. I think you have to do it by hand for now.
