Repro steps

Add a linterOptions property in the tslint.json config file, and configure a exclude list of files globs to be ignored.

{
  "linterOptions": {
    "exclude": [
      "/**/*.spec.ts"
    ]
  },
}

The log given by the failure

spec files are linting anyway.

Desired functionality

spec files should not be checked.

Mention any other details that might be useful

Duplicate of #11773, as an temporary solution can you try to remove the leading /?

[michaeljota]

Will try. Thanks!
