Invalid regular expression in quotemarkRule.js

[reod]

Bug Report

• TSLint version: 5.5.0
• TypeScript version: 2.4.2
• Running TSLint via: CLI

When I'm executing npx tslint -c tslint.json 'src/**/*.ts I'm getting error:

SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /\\)/: Unmatched ')'
    at RegExp (<anonymous>)

with tslint.json configuration:

{
  "defaultSeverity": "error",
  "extends": ["tslint:recommended", "tslint-eslint-rules"],
  "jsRules": {},
  "rules": {
    "quotemark": [true, "single"],
    "no-empty-interface": false,
    "no-console": [false],
    "no-consecutive-blank-lines": false,
    "ordered-imports": [false],
    "arrow-parens": false,
    "trailing-comma": [false],
    "member-access": [false],
    "object-literal-sort-keys": [false],
    "align": [false],
    "member-ordering": [false],
    "interface-name": [false]
  },
  "rulesDirectory": []
}

Actual behavior

Syntax error.

Expected behavior

Should not throw error.

@reod it can be reproduced now in i18n-manager repo (from your github profile)?

@IllusionMH actually this issue disappeared magically during development and now even I can't reproduce it. Feel free to close my report.

I found a minimal reproducible case for this error:

test.ts:

('a)

tslint.json:

{ "rules": { "quotemark": true } }

Running tslint test.ts (using TSLint 5.11.0) gives:

The 'quotemark' rule threw an error in 'test.ts':
SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /\\)/: Unmatched ')'
...

Should I create a new issue or will we reopen this one?
