npm tslint don't give error

Question

Hey all got a issue with npm and tslint I was hoping you could help me with. Ok here comes my situation and code:

package.json

"scripts": {
    "lint": "tslint -c tslint.json 'src/app/**/*.ts'",
    "pretest": "npm run lint ",
    "test": "echo 'No test are made'",
...
  },

When I run command npm test this is the output:

input terminal

$ npm test

output terminal

> [email protected] pretest c:\Users\Hjorth\Documents\github\keoom-angular
> npm run lint


> [email protected] lint c:\Users\Hjorth\Documents\github\keoom-angular
> tslint -c tslint.json 'src/app/**/*.ts'


> [email protected] test c:\Users\Hjorth\Documents\github\keoom-angular
> echo 'No test are made'

'No test are made'

If I only run command tslint -c tslint.json 'src/app/**/*.ts' I on the other hand see the linting error.

input terminal

$ tslint -c tslint.json 'src/app/**/*.ts'

output terminal

src/app/app.component.ts[1, 27]: " should be '

So as you can see there is a linting error in my code, but if I am not running the script directly It will not show. What I am expecting is this:

When I run npm test the script pretest will run, and that script will run the script lint, it will then exit with exit 0 before test script is run as it will find the linting error.

Anyone that can be of assistance.

It's the quotes around the file spec in the tslint command that are the problem:

"lint": "tslint -c tslint.json 'src/app/**/*.ts'"
                               ^               ^

If you remove those, you should see the expected error reported by tslint.
