Can we detect generated file like VSCode or Jetbrains do?

Using top line in file like: // Code partially generated. or // Code generated by xxx, DO NOT EDIT..

In generated files we can have very long functions.

This might be better solved with exclude-rules in the .golangci.yml config

issues:
  exclude-rules:
    - path: path/to/generated/code.go
      linters:
        - funlen

@robinknaapen You think this is also solved with #18 ?

@frederikhors

I thought that golangci-lint already ignored generated files by default. The following example does not trigger funlen

Given this basic config

linters:
  disable-all: true
  enable:
    - funlen
 
linters-settings:
  funlen:
    lines: 5
    statements: 10

And this code

main.go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	fmt.Println(Generated())
}

generated.go

// Code generated by Crow, DO NOT EDIT

package main

func Generated() string {
	// I have a lot of
	// comments
	// This will trigger the linter
	//
	//
	// for sure :)

	return "generated"
}

@martialblog, @frederikhors

Am I correct on my previous comment?

I am kind of reluctant to add another "hint" to the README. Since most of the cases can be distilled from the official documentation better.

[frederikhors]

I'm sorry. I'm not using Go these days. I can't help.

[martialblog]

@robinknaapen yes you are right, autogenerated code is detected by golangci-lint.

Then I can close this issue I suppose. If I am wrong, feel free to re-open
