Doesn't work with symlinks

[nebiros]

~/go/src/github.com/my-api/my-api is a symlink of /Users/nebiros/OneDrive/Projects/my-api

✔ ~/go/src/github.com/my-api
12:08 $ ls -la
lrwxr-xr-x   1 nebiros  staff    43B Apr 11 16:17    ~/go/src/github.com/my-api/my-api -> /Users/nebiros/OneDrive/Projects/my-api

But, when I run this:

/usr/local/bin/golangci-lint run --print-issued-lines=false /Users/nebiros/go/src/github.com/my-api/my-api/workout/log.go

Inside ~/go/src/github.com/my-api/my-api I got this error:

ERRO Running error: can't find path ../../../../../OneDrive/Projects/my-api/workout/log.go: stat ../../../../../OneDrive/Projects/my-api/workout/log.go: no such file or directory

Running into something similar. The repos for most of my company (call it foo) live in ~/go/src/github.com/foo/, so I have a symlink ~/gofoo/ to get to our repos quickly. However, I get errors like the one reported above, and other arcane ones like

WARN [runner] Can't run linter govet: can't run govet on source packages: can't read "../../go/src/github.com/foo/myrepo/bar.go
and
WARN [runner] Can't run linter golint: no AST for file myrepo/bar.go in cache
and
WARN [runner] Can't run linter goconst: no AST for file myrepo/bar.go in cache

the latter two followed by a giant debug spew, the one here:
'

golangci-lint/pkg/golinters/utils.go

Line 38 in a6b91cc

return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("no AST for file %s in cache: %+v", filename, *ctx.ASTCache)

If I go to the repo directly without my symlink, everything is fine.

@jirfag any thoughts?

thank you for reporting,
@nebiros @jsedgwick I reproduced and fixed your cases
