Issue when I run ng lint in a project which is minimal

[ysmoradi]

Step 1- Create a project using following command:

ng new test-app --enable-ivy=true --minimal=true --prefix=test --routing=true --skipInstall=true --skipTests=true --style=scss

Step 2- Run following command

ng lint

First issue: You'll receive the following error:

error TS5058: The specified path does not exist: 'test-app\tsconfig.spec.json'.

There's no tsconfig.spec.json because --minimal parameter of the first command.
In angular.json, there's a lint section which accepts two tsconfig files instead of one!

The second issue:

There is no tslint.json at all!

If you provide it (by copying it from another angular project), you'll see 3rd issue:

Could not find custom rule directory: codelyzer

You've to install it using

npm i codelyzer --save-dev

You can enjoy using ng lint with a minimally created project.

But it seems that @angular/cli needs some changes related to these issues.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for opening this. However this is expected as minimal projects are considered as throw-away projects and only a small subset of features are supported.

That being said, we should not generate the lint config for minimal projects.
