tslint.json在VS Code中不起作用

Question

So, I have my tsconfig.json and tslint.json at the root of my project. When I run tslint , it displays all of the errors in Terminal. But I do not get any hints/lines in VS Code. I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out why it won't work. I deliberately went against a rule but nothing happens. I've tried force-quitting several times. I've tried other rules and going against them. (Note, I am not talking about the VSCode extension for TSLint.) I wrote a pretty basic one:

{
    "defaultSeverity": "error",
    "extends": [
        "tslint:recommended"
    ],
    "jsRules": {},
    "rules": {
        "quotemark": [
            true,
            "single",
            "avoid-escape"
        ],
        "semicolon": [
            true,
            "always"
        ]
    },
    "rulesDirectory": []
}

If you have not installed tslint extension and do not run tslint via task manually - VSCode will not "check" its rules.

VSCode has no "embedded" support of the tslint. You must install the aforementioned extension in order to get intellisense support you are looking after.
