No-relative-imports - allow-siblings flag not working

[robgraeber]

Bug Report

• tslint-microsoft-contrib: 6.0.0
• TSLint version: 5.12.0
• TypeScript version: 3.2.2
• Running TSLint via: CLI + VSCode

TypeScript code being linted

import { chunkArray } from './Utils';

chunkArray([1, 2, 3], 1);

with tslint.json configuration:

"no-relative-imports": [true, "allow-siblings"],

Actual behavior

It's throwing an error for no-relative-imports.

Expected behavior

It would respect the "allow-siblings" flag and not be an error.

The weird thing about this is that it seemed to work correctly for me for a day, then the next day it stopped respecting the allow-siblings flag. I verified my node_modules were up to date. This is a very stripped down version of my project that seems to have the issue, run npm install && npm test and I get:
ERROR: /Users/bobby/Code/test-proj/src/Example.ts:1:1 - Imported module is being loaded from a relative path. Please use an absolute path: import { chunkArray } from './Utils';

@robgraeber thank you for raising issue. I will take a look on it.

[robgraeber]

@IllusionMH now that I think about it, it could be an issue with tslint-config-airbnb since they're still on 5.2.1.

I think tslint-config-airbnb was the culprit, apologies for the false alarm.

Temporary Fix
If you want to use the allow-siblings flag right now with tslint-config-airbnb you can do what I did below

tslint.override.json
{ "rulesDirectory": ["node_modules/tslint-microsoft-contrib"], "rules": { "no-relative-imports": [true, "allow-siblings"] } }

tslint.json
{ "extends": ["./tslint.override.json", "tslint-config-airbnb"], "rules": { ... } }

Make sure the override is before the tslint-config-airbnb
