There's an error while linting but golangci-lint exit code is still 0.
Error:

ERRO [runner/typecheck] typechecking error:
dateranges/dateranges_test.go:40:18: missing ',' before newline in composite literal

If i right understood it works so cause of https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/master/pkg/golinters/typecheck.go#L49
Such errors are printed but not included into the results' list.

Snippet from the checked code that triggers this error:

	tests := []struct {
		name    string
		args    args
		want    *timestamp.Timestamp
		want1   *timestamp.Timestamp
		wantErr bool
	}{
		{
			name: "Some Name",
			args: args{
				y: "2018",
			},
			want:    start,
			want1:   end,
			wantErr: false
		},
	}

So my question does it expected behavior of linter that error doesn't cause failed exit code?
And is there any options to get this error triggers error code?

[jirfag]

thank you for reporting! I can't reproduce it on this example but I fixed it in #567

[jirfag]

please, check it

[dm3ch]

@jirfag Thank you, now I'm getting exit code 7 on that case

AIf I use v1.16.0 golangci-lint run fails with the compilation errors, but v1.17.X finishes successfully.

This is an issue for me when using vim-go because I first get the compilation errors, but then golangci is executed and returns a zero code which is a success and it clears the window with all the errors.

v1.17.0

Closing this as a duplicate of #276 to track adding support for failing with non-zero exit code on compilation errors.
