jquery.d.ts compilation failed: TsLint: exceeds maximum line length

Question

I am using VS 2013 with version 0.95 of TypeScript, but the linter fails the TS compilation with the error:

TsLint: app.ts checked. TsLint: jquery.d.t

Answer 1

I believe that the max-line-length warning is for the length of a single line, rather than for the number of lines in a file.

You can either break the long lines up to make them smaller, or simply ignore files that aren't "your code".

/* tslint:disable */
// the jquery type definition
/* tslint:enable */

or set up your own config:

-c, --config:
    The location of the configuration file that tslint will use to
    determine which rules are activated and what options to provide
    to the rules. If no option is specified, the config file named
    tslint.json is used, so long as it exists in the path.
    The format of the file is { rules: { /* rules list */ } },
    where /* rules list */ is a key: value comma-seperated list of
    rulename: rule-options pairs. Rule-options can be either a
    boolean true/false value denoting whether the rule is used or not,
    or a list [boolean, ...] where the boolean provides the same role
    as in the non-list case, and the rest of the list are options passed
    to the rule that will determine what it checks for (such as number
    of characters for the max-line-length rule, or what functions to ban
    for the ban rule).
