This PR marks the function ctrl.Finish as Deprecated. It's no need to call this function starting from Go 1.14 when T.Cleanup was added.

If Finish is marked as Deprecated, a large amount of code that has already been written will not pass the golangci-lint check, which will take a long time to transform

I want to echo this. Instead of removing the Finish call directly, can we do a graceful deprecation? For example, we make this Finish call as no-op in the next version (may also print a log when calling this), then remove it in the next major release? This could provide a smoother migrate experience to the user.

It's not being removed, it's being marked as deprecated.

This is fine and expected. People need to configure their linter correctly and plan their work accordingly.

Here's the issue. Deprecations are just notices that exist because removing a method would introduce a breaking change and people need time to update. A deprecation notice gives them the time they need. Now if we start using tools that break everything if we have a deprecation, that would make the whole deprecation thing useless.

Please don't remove this function. It's needed to use gomock with certain testing frameworks, and removing the function would break those use cases.

Please also consider reverting the deprecation. If the function is not going to be removed in a future release, it shouldn't be marked deprecated in the first place.

See #81 for more details.
