VSCode: tslint-language-service plugin shows lint hints as error and not warning

Question

I am using Visual Studio Code `1.12.1` with Typescript `2.3.2` and the enabled plugin `tslint-language-service: 0.9.3` with `tslint: 5.2.0` For some reason all the `tslint` hints are shown as errors with a red underline. I would like to have it as a warning with a green/yellow underline. How can I do it? This is the plugin I am using with the new Typescript version https://github.com/angelozerr/tslint-language-service#vscode Like in in the demo gif it should be green and not red https://github.com/angelozerr/tslint-language-service/raw/master/images/TslintLanguageServiceDemoVSCode.gif

Accepted Answer

To treat linting errors like warnings you should modify your tslint.json and include the following option: `"defaultSeverity": "warning"`. More info here.

But it looks like there is a bug in vscode-tslint. See the following thread
