Meaningless error message Error: Illegal value for line

[ezh]

There is a basic golang linter:

		"any-lint.linters": [
			{
				"name": "golint",
				"binPath": "golint",
				"condition": "$.fileExtname == '.go'",
				"args": [
					"${fileDirname}/..."
				],
				"diagnostic": {
					"output": "stdout",
					"type": "lines",
					"format": "${file}:${startLine}:${startColumn}: ${message}",
				}
			}
		]

I get the next message on any-lint console

golint /Users/john/app/pkg/endpoint/...
/Users/john/app/pkg/endpoint/new.go:3:1: exported function New should have comment or be unexported

failed to convert to diagnostic
Error: Illegal value for `line`

/Users/john/app/pkg/endpoint/new.go:3:1: exported function New should have comment or be unexported is the single line message on STDOUT from golint. There are no leading or trailing lines.

Is there any hint on how to fix it?

Actually, it doesn't depend on 'golint'. I see that other line linters are failed as well.

In my environment(Windows, macOS, Linux), it works with provided configuration.
(In Windows I can't specify ... for args by access error, so I removed it)

@tamayika Thank you for the instructions. 💯
I'm sorry for the noise.
I'll try to reproduce and collect all necessary debug information.

I thought that It might be worse to add details to the error message in the vscode console for end-users. So someone could understand errors without a debugger.
