Panic since update to v1.43.0 (load embedded ruleguard rules: rules/rules.go:13: can't load fmt)

[Antonboom]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available. (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

Please read

go-critic/go-critic#1157

Version of golangci-lint

$ golangci-lint --version
panic: load embedded ruleguard rules: rules/rules.go:13: can't load fmt

TL;DR

• check what your Go is for ARM
• check env (go version & GOARCH) in IDEA
• do not install golangci-lint via brew

---

I decided to compare the output of go env in IDEA & zsh:

$ diff /tmp/idea.env /tmp/zsh.env

Two questions:

1. why different archs (amd & arm)?
2. why different Go versions (1.17.2 & 1.17.1)?

I didn't remember installing multiple versions of Go. This IDEA project was new & he picked up the environment automatically. And it was:

$ /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.17.2/bin/go env
GO111MODULE="on"
GOARCH="amd64"
...
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="darwin"
...
GOOS="darwin"
...
GOROOT="/usr/local/go"         <----------------------- WTF? It's a path of original 1.17.1 ARM Go
...
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64"
GOVERSION="go1.17.2"
...

That's where the dog is buried. 1.17.2 AMD Go flew in together with new golangci-lint:

$ brew install golangci-lint
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/go/manifests/1.17.2
...
==> Installing dependencies for golangci-lint: go
==> Installing golangci-lint dependency: go
==> Pouring go--1.17.2.big_sur.bottle.tar.gz
🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.17.2: 10,814 files, 565.8MB
==> Installing golangci-lint
...

Solution:

• rm -rf /usr/local/go /usr/local/opt/go /usr/local/Cellar/go
• rm -rf /usr/local/bin/golangci-lint
• Install go via https://go.dev/dl/ (be careful - https://go.dev/doc/install will download AMD64 Go)
• Install golangci-lint via https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases

$ golangci-lint version
golangci-lint has version 1.43.0 built from 861262b7 on 2021-11-03T11:57:46Z

@ldez, FYI
You can close this issue & open other about brew. leave it to you, thanks!

[ldez]

go1.18beta1 is currently not supported by golangci-lint.

I flag this as off-topic for now.

[willbeason]

The comments marked as "off topic" resolved my issue for me when I encountered this. My build environment was updated to 1.18 automatically, so this upgrade broke golangci-lint for me. Thus, I had to build from source in order to resolve the issue.

[quasilyte]

@willbeason please keep in mind that this new release is an unknown ground for most of us.
For many maintainers of any kinds of linters it's hard to adapt before 1.18 is released completely.
It's like living in two realities, etc.
Not to mention that there are some issues in the relevant libraries like /x/tools that make the transition hard (most tools rely on them in one way or another).
While building from the source may be helpful, it also means the issue in the underlying tools we're using to bundle our tools. Which is another hint that the main issue may not be on the side of the maintainers (they can't update the world, etc.)

So let's try to be patient. This is a big release for Go.

[oneumyvakin]

I'm not sure how to update x/tool because our project has a lot of packages which have multiple transitive dependencies on old x/tools

Installing golangci-lint from source I don't observe the same error as when using the released binary.

Binary

wget https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/download/v1.44.2/golangci-lint-1.44.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xf golangci-lint-1.44.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
./golangci-lint-1.44.2-linux-amd64/golangci-lint --version
panic: load embedded ruleguard rules: rules/rules.go:13: can't load fmt

Install from source

go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.44.2

golangci-lint --version
golangci-lint has version v1.44.2 built from (unknown, mod sum: "h1:MzvkDt1j1OHkv42/feNJVNNXRFACPp7aAWBWDo5aYQw=") on (unknown)

[ldez]

If you are using go1.18, please follow the issue #2649

[ldez]

can you try to set explicitly the GOROOT?

[shakibamoshiri]

you can test it with this docker file

first

# golangci-lint does not work with latest version
FROM golang:latest

# use a match version
# FROM golang:1.18.3

ARG GO_LINT_ADDRESS=https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/download/v1.46.2/golangci-lint-1.46.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz
ARG LINT_TAR_NAME=golangci-lint-1.46.2-linux-amd64

RUN apt update && \
    wget -c ${GO_LINT_ADDRESS} -O ${LINT_TAR_NAME}.tar.gz && \
    tar xzf ${LINT_TAR_NAME}.tar.gz --strip-components=1  -C /usr/bin/ ${LINT_TAR_NAME}/golangci-lint && \
    chmod +x /usr/bin/golangci-lint


# install golangci-ci by go did not work
# it runs but on runtime throws errors
# go install github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.46.2

CMD golangci-lint

second

docker build --no-cache -t lint:v1 .

third - result for me

[ldez]

can you add this GOROOT="/usr/local/go" explicitly in your Dockerfile?

(I already tried)
