Golangci-lint: failed to load package due to export data.

[kipply]

When running golangci-lint locally, everything passes with no errors. When I put up the Github Action it yields a new error;

  level=warning msg="[runner] Can't run linter unused: buildir: failed to load package tensorflow: could not load export data: no export data for \"github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/tensorflow/go\""

Unfortunately, I can't solve this problem by skipping files that import tensorflow since they're still analyzed and will yield this error. I suspect the full-solution is to properly install tensorflow (which seems very unnecessary) and I'd rather be able to silence this error somehow?

Hey, thank you for opening your first Issue ! 🙂 If you would like to contribute we have a guide for contributors.

+1 on this. I'm hitting this with github.com/coreos/go-systemd/v22/sdjournal, which has CGo dependencies, just like tensorflow.

ERRO Running error: buildir: failed to load package sdjournal: could not load export data: no export data for "github.com/coreos/go-systemd/v22/sdjournal"

If I set CGO_ENABLED=0, I get

Running error: buildir: failed to load package dlopen: could not load export data: no export data for "github.com/coreos/go-systemd/v22/internal/dlopen"

closing, just need to install cgo libraries properly so they can be compiled.

This is unfortunately not possible in my case. I'm developing on a Mac for Linux systems, and we depend on github.com/coreos/go-systemd/v22/sdjournal, which wraps systemd's C API. Beacuse this is not available on non-Linux systems (AFAICT), we can no longer run the linter on our Macs.

Would it be possible to add some way to ignore these dependencies? It's unfortunate that adding a dependency prevents us from being able to run a static analysis tool like a linter.
