Lint entire workspace or project.

[dmitryshunkov]

I have installed plugin locally in workspace following these instructions. And tslint now shows errors only for opened files. Is it possible to configure plugin to show issues in Problems tab for all files in entire project? Is it possible to configure problem matcher as for old tslint plugin?

[dmitryshunkov]

So, in order to see all errors I added tasks.json file with next content:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "npm",
            "script": "lint",
            "problemMatcher": {
                "base": "$tslint5",
                "fileLocation": "absolute"
            }
        }
    ]
}

and installed plugin itself. To see errors in Problems tab lint task should be run with Run Task.

Yes you need the VS Code extension to get the problem matcher, not just the plugin

@mjbvz I have the new plugin installed but I'm only seeing issues for open files also. I already have the code above (from when I used the other plugin - which I've now removed).

I'm fairly sure that the lints used to just show up when I hit build (Cmd+Shift+B or run with F5) and the watcher was running, I never had to explicitly run a command before. Has this changed, or have I done something wrong?

[DanTup]

Actually, I'm not sure if I've set this up right - that task just calls tslint, and this appears in the output:

> dart-code@2.20.1-dev lint /Users/dantup/Dev/Dart-Code
> tslint src/**/*.ts -t verbose

It sounds like this extension is supposed to be using the running server, and running this lint command is presumably not doing that?
