Solved here, i skipped go installation and setup 1.17 on previous ci step, as in here https://github.com/foxygoat/foxtrot/blob/86646cb58e7ebe90daf354e5005143b71a260961/.github/workflows/cicd.yaml#L29

- uses: actions/setup-go@v2
    with:
    go-version: 1.17.x

- uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v2.5.2
    with:
        version: v1.43
        skip-go-installation: true
        args: --version

Please upgrade to v3 of the action, it does not install go anymore, so you have a full control on go version

[dprotaso]

bumping v3 worked :)

thanks!

For reference I just wanted to share my config

      - uses: actions/setup-go@v3
        with:
          go-version: '1.17.8'
          check-latest: false
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: golangci-lint
        uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v3
        with:
          version: v1.44.2

on v2 I had the same issue pointed out here
