TSLint does not seem executed in the correct directory

[victornoel]

I have the following directory structure:

• frontend/
  • tslint.json
  • src/
• backend
  • ...

I configured the plugin with config: frontend/tslint.json and because my configuration contains:

{
  "extends": [
    "./tslint-ng.json",
    "tslint-config-prettier"
  ],
  ...
}

I get the following error when executing the analysis:

Running tslint: Done!
error: (CC::CLI::Analyze::EngineFailure) engine tslint failed with status 1 and stderr 
/usr/src/app/node_modules/tslint/lib/configuration.js:55
        throw new error_1.FatalError("Failed to load " + configPath + ": " + error.message, error);
        ^

Review the Node lookup algorithm (https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_all_together) for the approximate method TSLint uses to find the referenced configuration file.

Hey @tkqubo! Stumbled across this issue because I was also investigating it. I was able to replicate a similar issue on a few open source projects:

https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs
https://github.com/angular/material2

/usr/src/app/node_modules/tslint/lib/configuration.js:55
        throw new error_1.FatalError("Failed to load " + configPath + ": " + error.message, error);
        ^

Me too! Need any help fixing this?

having the same problem here...

[cice]

any updates on this? any workarounds? at the moment we are not able to use tslint in codeclimate at all...

Bump. Would be nice to get some sort of feedback on this one.

There seems to be a bunch of issues connected to this problem, such as:

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? I'm having the same problem trying to use "rulesDirectory": ["codelyzer"]:

FatalError: Failed to load /tmp/codeclimate-tslint/05f2da994f0ff2d0b33365fad2d0b1298e0e03b0f232cb890ff97b4ecc48f69b.json: Could not find custom rule directory: /code/codelyzer

    at Object.findConfiguration (/usr/src/app/node_modules/tslint/lib/configuration.js:57:15)
    ...

Is this an issue with this plugin, or an issue in CodeClimate's plugin system?
