no-relative-imports does nothing on --fix flag

Bug Report

• tslint-microsoft-contrib version: 6.2.0
• TSLint version: 5.11.0
• TypeScript version: 3.1.6
• Running TSLint via: CLI / VSCode

TypeScript code being linted

import TestIndexPage from "./test-index-page";

with tslint.json configuration:

{
  "extends": ["tslint:latest", "tslint-react", "tslint-config-prettier"],
  "rulesDirectory": ["node_modules/tslint-microsoft-contrib"],
  "rules": {
    "no-unused-variable": true,
    "no-submodule-imports": false,
    "no-implicit-dependencies": false,
    "jsx-no-lambda": false,
    "no-relative-imports": true
  }
}

Actual behavior

It shows warning that local import is used - but running from CLI with --fix --force - nothing happens, even though baseUrl is set in tsconfig.json :

node_modules/tslint/bin/tslint src/test-file.tsx --fix --force

no-unused-variable is deprecated. Since TypeScript 2.9. Please use the built-in compiler checks instead.
Warning: The 'no-unused-variable' rule requires type information.

ERROR: src/test-file.tsx[1, 1]: Imported module is being loaded from a relative path. Please use an absolute path: import TestIndexPage from "./test-index-page";

Expected behavior

After funning tslint with --fix flag - file should be updated with fullpath in import statement.

This project is in maintenance mode because eslint is replacing tslint.

☠️ It's time! ☠️

Per #876, this repository is no longer accepting feature pull requests. TSLint is being deprecated and we recommend you switch to https://typescript-eslint.io.

Thanks for open sourcing with us, everyone!

This is not a bug because it works as expected: this rule never had fixer implemented. This is because depending on your configuration of baseDir, path etc., project conventions there might be several options how to set path to file.
