typecheck giving undefined error for existing field of struct

[gharia]

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 (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

I have below structs

type Config struct {
	*common.Config

	ElasticsearchURL string 
	Port             string       
}

// common.Config
type Config struct {
	Loader Loader

	AppName       string  
	AppBuild      string    
	LogLevel      string    
	Environment   util.Environment 
	Debug         bool
}

So common.Config is part of Config. Now wherever I use Debug from Config, typecheck gives the below lint error

c.Debug undefined (type *Config has no field or method Debug) (typecheck)

Expected behaviour

It should not give a lint error as Debug is part of the struct (Or maybe I am missing something?)

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

Hello,

typecheck is not a real linter it's just a way to parse/display "compilation" and linters errors (linter reports are not errors).

If you have a typecheck issue it's because you have a compilation error.

[gharia]

@ldez, that;s correct. But the thing is there are no compilation errors. The main Config has *common.Config and common.Config contains Debug. Code is running fine without issue

[ldez]

can you provide a full "working" reproducible example (not just a snippet)?

[natefinch]

@ldez this is happening all over GitHub's internal go repos. It's not a real compiler error. The code compiles just fine using the local go compiler both on a dev's machine and in CI. Only golangci-lint is hitting these "compiler errors". I suspect it's a version mismatch between the compiler used to build golangci-lint and the compiler used to build the code it's linting. I don't quite understand why that would matter, but it seems like, if the code is built with go 1.18 and it gets linted with a golangci-lint binary that was built with go 1.19, then the error comes up.... sometimes, but not always and not everywhere. I'll try to get a simple repro scenario.
