Syntax to skip creating tests, assets & helpers for `rails generate controller`?

Question

I read the help & tried the following command to skip generation of tests, assets & helper files

$ bin/rails generate controller home index  --helper         


        

Answer 1

Try using --no- followed by optionname:

rails generate controller home index  --no-helper --no-assets --no-controller-specs --no-view-specs

If you want to change the default behavior every time you run the generator command, you can configure the defaults you would like in the application.rb file - see How can I make sure Rails doesn't generate spec tests for views and helpers?.
