no-unsafe-any raises errors on import statements that are not typed as "any"

[lddubeau]

Bug Report

• TSLint version: 5.0.0
• TypeScript version: 2.2.2
• Running TSLint via: CLI: tslint test.ts --type-check --project tsconfig.json

TypeScript code being linted

import * as ts from "typescript";

// Prevent TypeScript from complaining about ts being unused.
console.log(ts.getCommentRange);

with tslint.json configuration:

{
    "rules": {
        "no-unsafe-any": true
    }
}

I've tried with the following two tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {}
}

and:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "rootDir": ".",
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "noImplicitThis": true,
    "skipDefaultLibCheck": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "target": "es5"
  }
}

Actual behavior

The error:

test.ts[1, 21]: Unsafe use of expression of type 'any'.

Expected behavior

No error. I don't see why the imported symbols are somehow considered to be of type any. They obviously aren't since the IDE is able to perform completion that uses TypeScript type information.

Same issue here: it warns for every expression at the first line of each method

This is the code it's complaining about:

this should be fixed in tslint >=5.1.0, can you try that out?
