Repro steps

• Install Angular 6
• ng test --browser ChromeHeadless --code-coverage=true --single-run=true

Observed behavior

Unknown option: '--browser'

Desired behavior

Updated documentation
Fix --browser

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

I would like the command line to pick up a browser (e.g Chrome or ChromeHeadless) when running the tests.

Hi,

browser option has been renamed to browsers

ng t --help
usage: ng test <project> [options]
options:
  --browsers
    Override which browsers tests are run against.
  --code-coverage
    Output a code coverage report.
 [...]

Try this: ng test --browsers=ChromeHeadless --code-coverage --single-run=true

@mboughaba thank you, this works for me! Looks like --single-run is no longer available. The current workaround for it is to use --watch=false. Linking #10711

I think at one point we accepted both browsers and browser as the same thing, and that got cleaned up in v6. Sorry for the confusion.

@filipesilva Please update the doc. #11582
