Fails on correctly-formatted tslint report

[EarthCitizen]

I have the following tslint report:

[{
    "endPosition": {
        "character": 6,
        "line": 22,
        "position": 885
    },
    "failure": "block is empty",
    "name": "src/file.ts",
    "ruleName": "no-empty",
    "startPosition": {
        "character": 4,
        "line": 22,
        "position": 883
    }
}]

When running Sonar I get the following error:

Caused by: fr.sii.sonar.report.core.common.exception.ProviderException: failed to parse json file. Cause: Can not deserialize instance of fr.sii.sonar.report.core.quality.domain.report.QualityReport out of START_ARRAY token

Looking at the code, it seems that the plug-in is not properly set up to consume tslint JSON.

Hi,

The plugin doesn't take the report directly generated by TSLint. You have to use our own gulp tasks (see https://github.com/groupe-sii/sonar-web-frontend-reporters) that generates a more complete report.

[EarthCitizen]

OK. It might be a good idea to change this line in the README.md to be a little more specific:

"The reports are either directly produced by the tools or by our gulp tasks."

As it is, it sounds like the tslint generated reports would be directly consumable.
