[Question] Codelyzer is not working with VS Code

Hi,

I created an Angular2 project using angular-cli. Then I updated VS Code (version: 1.6) workspace setting file to:

{
        "tslint.rulesDirectory": "./node_modules/codelyzer",
        "typescript.tsdk": "./node_modules/typescript/lib"
}

I also intentionally created a Codelyzer error, and run “ng lint” ang got the following error:

src/app/app.component.ts[8, 14]: The name of the class AppComponen should end with the suffix Component (https://goo.gl/5X1TE7)

However, VS Code does not mark AppComponen with a red underline.

Can someone please explain what I should do to make VS Code detect Codelyzer errors?

OK, thanks. I suggest documenting that to avoid similar questions from newcomers.

BTW after I installed tslint, it also works even if I delete the rules configuration from user/workspace setting file, I mean the following line:

{
        "tslint.rulesDirectory": "./node_modules/codelyzer",
}

Oh, sorry I have forgotten to mentioned this as a requirement 😞 .

Yes, in order to make the tool as portable as possible we reuse the error reporting mechanism of tslint. Maybe at some point we’ll abstract it to allow ESLint plugin support too but it wasn’t necessary at this point.
