How To Exclude A Folder From Tslint?

I like to exclude the test folder form linting with tslint in vscode. So I have placed an exclude into my tslint.json config file. Unfortunately the exclude statement is not workin

Solution 1:

Latest update: this can now be set in in tslint.json (the following configuration works with tslint 5.11)

{"linterOptions":{"exclude":["bin","build","config","coverage","node_modules"]}}

Solution 2:

It seems that this is an open feature request. Further information can be found here: https://github.com/palantir/tslint/issues/73

Update: for those who use VSCode with tslint as editor/linting you can add the following to the VSCode config:

// Configure glob patterns of file paths to exclude from linting"tslint.exclude":"**/PATH_eg_TESTS/**/*.ts"

Solution 3:

This worked for me in tslint: 6.1.2.

In the root folder where tslint.json is located create the file path to directory.

"linterOptions":{"exclude":["libs/folder/folder/**","apps/stuff/stuff/**"]}
