Golangci-lint: Can't run linter goanalysis_metalinter 1.24.x: failed prerequisites

[marcelloh]

I still have the same issue (but you guys closed it, which you shouldn't, because it is not fixed)

Using the new 1.24.0 with Go 1.14

It's always on the same part. What is interesting about it, that it complains about a struct and a function not being present. They are present within the package, only not in that file.
The software compiles, so there's nothing wrong, only the linter sees that differently. :-(

linter began failing suddenly a short while ago, just upgraded (brew) from 1.23.2 -> 1.23.8, working again. considering description above, i suspect it was re-broken :P

[marcelloh]

this issue is about the new 1.24.x versions

[Luzifer]

Having the same issue with a slight random effect:

We do have a repo containing several /cmd/... tools which we are testing in a shell-loop using golangci-lint run --modules-download-mode=vendor --timeout=5m.

• When executed on a local system (Archlinux, Go 1.14, golangci-lint@master) it fails once and afterwards all exeecutions succeeds
• When executed in a Docker container (Alpine, Go 1.14, [email protected], @master, @1.23.8, @1.23.2) it fails randomly in different executions

That "random" has following effect:

• Execution 1: tool1 fails, tool2 succeeds, tool3 fails
• Execution 2: tool1 fails, tool2 succeeds, tool3 succeeds
• Execution 3: tool1 succeeds, tool2 fails, tool3 succeeds

Between those executions no code chance was made, all executions were made in a fresh container from the same image…

I am also encountering this issue. What is weird is that I cannot reproduce it locally on my machine. The bug only triggers on my CI (Gitlab). Running Go 1.14 and golangci-lint 1.24.0 both locally and in the CI. Go code compiles successfully, and all unit tests succeed, so there are no compile errors present in the code. And like other people have commented, the "failed prerequisites" error isnt always consistent. It fails on different parts of the code for whatever reason.

https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/issues/827 is the original closed issue that OP referenced.

[fho]

I encountered the same issue after updating golangci-lint 1.23.8->1.24.0 and Golang 1.14.1->1.14.2.
The issue also only happened in CI runs.

We are running multiple golangci-lint instances in docker containers in parallel.
The docker containers share the go-cache and the golangci-lint cache directory via a volume mount.

Removing the volume mount for the golangci-lint cache directory fixed the issue.
It seems to be a concurrency issue when multiple golangci-lint instances access the same golangci-lint cache directory.

[Luzifer]

It seems to be a concurrency issue when multiple golangci-lint instances access the same golangci-lint cache directory.

Cannot confirm. We're running builds within a Docker container without volume mounts and the first build always produces errors while a second (sequential) build in the same container does no longer produce those errors. There is no concurrency involved on our side when experiencing this.

[ernado]

For those who can't reproduce this issue locally: please try cleaning golangci cache before running.

$ golangci-lint cache clean

[fho]

@ernado cleaning the cache does not help to reproduce the issue locally with version 1.24.0 for me

[ernado]

Please do golangci-lint cache clean again and upgrade to v1.25.0

[fho]

@ernado I can not reproduce the error locally neither with 1.24.0 nor with 1.25.0,
cleaning the cache before running golangci-lint does not change the result

[ernado]

@fho the 1.25.0 should not contain this issue AFAIK

[T-Hugo]

I fixed the problem with:

GO111MODULE=on
CGO_ENABLED=0

[ernado]

Closing this for now.

Please open new issue if problem will reappear, but ensure that you are installing golangci-lint either via binary or via go modules.

Thanks everyone.

Is this issue reoccurring in version 1.31.0 on Windows 10? It works on MacOS, but Windows still appears to be borked.

[zhenyulin]

I'm running version 1.31.0 on MacOS with Go 1.15, having this issue

[drjuarez]

I was able to get around this issue on macOS Catalina (10.15.6)

My issue was the installation was taking a previously installed version and not the new home-brew install. I found something was fishy by checking the version

golangci-lint version
 # -> golangci-lint has version master built from ? on master

I uninstalled the brew version:

brew uninstall golangci/tap/golangci-lint

did a find on my root file system for any

sudo find / | grep golangci-lint

rm any golangci-lint binaries in your go paths

reinstalled golangci

brew upgrade golangci/tap/golangci-lint
brew install golangci/tap/golangci-lint

Verify Version

golangci-lint version
 # -> golangci-lint has version 1.31.0 built from 3d6d0e7 on 2020-09-07T15:14:41Z

Now I can run linter without any issues
