Golangci-lint: Error when running version 1.12.5 on Travis CI with Go modules

[bmuschko]

I switched my project from dep to Go modules. In a build stage on Travis CI, I run golangci-lint and receive the following error message:

$ golangci-lint run -v

Do you know why this might fail? Here's one of the failing builds.

Please include the following information:

1. Version of golangci-lint: 1.12.5
2. Config file: none
3. Go environment: 1.11.4
4. Verbose output of running: see output above

I was using build stages in Travis CI. Travis does not carry over already downloaded modules so you'll have to run go mod download before running golangci-lint.
