Linter suddenly super strict after upgrading to Angular 6

Question

I just upgraded to Angular 6 and I'm trying to deploy it. I'm having a hell of a time though. My newest error is a suddenly super-strict linter. After building and running firebase deploy, my command line throws somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000 errors, preventing me from deploying my app. These are errors like " should be ', trailing whitespace, comment must start with a space, etc. All these 'errors' in these components used to deploy just fine in my Angular 5 project.

• Why did it get all strict on me all of a sudden?
• Can it be relaxed a bit?

Answer 1

I added the following line to my tslint.json file in my app's root directory to lower the severity level to warnings instead of compilation-stopping errors:

"defaultSeverity": "warn",
