Bug Report

• TSLint version: 5.9.1
• TypeScript version: 2.6.2
• Running TSLint via: (pick one) CLI

with tslint.json configuration:
i had this until 5.9.1 (with 5.8.0 it was no problem)
"extends": [ "tslint:latest" ],
this will throw now this error:
error TS5024: Compiler option 'extends' requires a value of type string.
tried this:
"extends": "tslint:latest",
and got this error:
error TS18001: A path in an 'extends' option must be relative or rooted, but 'tslint:latest' is not.

Hello Google user! If you're NOT using tslint, you're in the wrong place, you're looking for:

microsoft/TypeScript#18865

You may be running into this issue because TypeScript can't find what you're extending.

If you're trying to extend a module, e.g. "extends": "@sindresorhus/tsconfig", you have to make sure it's installed where you're calling tsc

• if you're calling tsc locally, what you're extending needs to be installed locally (npm install @sindresorhus/tsconfig)

Or just make sure you're calling the local tsc
