Using custom project and config options together

[boenrobot]

I am trying to use this plugin to check for TSLint checks that require type information.

The docs would seem to suggest that specifying
project: '.'

should work, but I get an error saying "Failed to find TSLint configuration".

Explicitly specifying the path to the tslint.json file (not the folder) is more akin to the -c option than the -p option though, in that I get an error saying certain hints require type information. And specifying the path to the tsconfig.json file (not the folder) says "No valid rules have been specified for TypeScript files" and effectively skips tslint.

Is there a way I can actually use both options?
