display rule name in error message

[smollweide]

First of all thanks a lot for tslint 👍

Something I struggling a lot is that the information about which rules creates the error is missing.
It would be great if the rule name is part of the error message:

currently

ERROR: Parentheses are prohibited around the parameter in this single parameter arrow function

suggestion

ERROR: Parentheses are prohibited around the parameter in this single parameter arrow function (arrow-parens)

That's how eslint did it and it's a really helpful information.

Thank you and best regards,
Simon

@smollweide Are you specifying a specific formatter when running the linter? By default, Prose is used and does not have the rule name. It looks like the included Verbose formatter may have what you're looking for?

The human-readable formatter which includes the rule name in messages.
The output is the same as the prose formatter with the rule name included

ERROR: (semicolon) myFile.ts[1, 14]: Missing semicolon

Yes, -t verbose or -t stylish would be a resolution for this.

#2228 tracks making that the default, if you're interested!
