Golangci-lint: Golangci-lint Incompatibility with newer versions of Go?

[jwebster7]

I'm running version Go v1.13 and GoLangCI-Lint v1.17.1.
.golangci.yml:
goconfig.txt
Go Version: go1.13 darwin/amd64

I'm experiencing some encoding issues when I run GoLangCI-Lint against my code.
It looks like the linter is raising issue with the Go standard libraries (strings, fmt, etc.).

golangci-lint run output*

Rebuild golangci-lint with go 1.13 :-)

This is a duplicate of #659.

Can a maintainer release a new version built with go 1.13?

The suggested CI method from the README is broken

[jirfag]

Hi,
golangci-lint now supports go1.13,
and I've published the v1.18.0 release today. It's built by go1.13.

I ran into the same problem, updated to 1.19.0 just now, but the errors remain.

Am I doing something wrong?

[jirfag]

Please make a new issue with —version output

[tobiassjosten]

My bad! I had a go get installation that overrode the brew installation. The latter didn't have a --version flag, so it wasn't as obvious as it could have been. :) All sorted now and it works fine with 1.19.1. 👍

@tpounds of all Github issues related to this problem, this one is the most helpful: contains clear description of error and solution, maybe it's not quite "invalid" as end of thread suggests.

[tpounds]

@temoto Agreed. I must have incorrectly categorized this when I was traiging the backlog of open issues. I've updated this issue with a more appropriate label.
