Custom rule that requires type checking throwing "requires type checking" error

[T-Hugs]

New to TSLint so let me know if I'm doing something wrong...

Bug Report

• TSLint version: 3.15.1
• TypeScript version: 2.0.0
• Running TSLint via: CLI

with tslint.json configuration:

{
  "_extends": "tslint:latest",
  "rules": {
    "SetTimeoutString": true    
  },
  "rulesDirectory": [
    "C:/dev/seccheck/rules/"
  ]
}

SetTimeoutStringRule.ts:

import * as ts from "typescript";
import * as Lint from "tslint/lib/lint";

export class Rule extends Lint.Rules.TypedRule {
    public static FAILURE_STRING = "setTimeout forbidden with string as param1.";

    public applyWithProgram(sourceFile: ts.SourceFile, program: ts.Program): Lint.RuleFailure[] {
        return this.applyWithWalker(new NoSetTimeoutWithStringWalker(sourceFile, this.getOptions(), program));
    }
}

// The walker takes care of all the work.
class NoSetTimeoutWithStringWalker extends Lint.ProgramAwareRuleWalker {
    public visitCallExpression(node: ts.CallExpression) {
        // irrelevant implementation
    }
}

Actual behavior

Error: SetTimeoutString requires type checking
    at Rule.TypedRule.apply (C:\dev\seccheck\node_modules\tslint\lib\language\rule\typedRule.js:14:15)
    at Linter.lint (C:\Users\trgau\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\tslint\lib\tslint.js:68:37)

Expected behavior

No errors. I tried using built-in rules that require type checking, and they seem to work fine. In tslint.js, the following if-condition is failing:

if (this.program && rule instanceof typedRule_1.TypedRule)

Specifically rule instanceof typedRule_1.TypedRule.

Sorry for the delayed response @trevorsg - did you figure this out yet?

Hey @jkillian, haven't looked at it anymore. I am starting on a new project that will involve custom TSLint rules that use the type checker, so I will let you know if I run into a similar problem.
