golangci-lint

A fast Go linters runner

Backend: pants.backend.experimental.go.lint.golangci_lint

Config section: [golangci-lint]

Basic options​

args​

--golangci-lint-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_ARGS
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
args = [
    <shell_str>,
    <shell_str>,
    ...,
]
default: []

Arguments to pass directly to golangci-lint, e.g. --golangci-lint-args='--enable gocritic'.

skip​

--[no-]golangci-lint-skip
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_SKIP
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
skip = <bool>
default: False

If true, don't use golangci-lint when running pants lint.

Advanced options​

config​

--golangci-lint-config=<file_option>
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_CONFIG
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
config = <file_option>
default: None

Path to a YAML config file understood by golangci-lint (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/configuration/#config-file).

Setting this option will disable [golangci-lint].config_discovery. Use this option if the config is located in a non-standard location.

config_discovery​

--[no-]golangci-lint-config-discovery
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_CONFIG_DISCOVERY
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
config_discovery = <bool>
default: True

If true, Pants will include all relevant config files during runs (.golangci.yml, .golangci.yaml, golangci.toml, and golangci.json).

Use [golangci-lint].config instead if your config is in a non-standard location.

known_versions​

--golangci-lint-known-versions="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_KNOWN_VERSIONS
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
known_versions = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "1.51.1|macos_arm64 |75b8f0ff3a4e68147156be4161a49d4576f1be37a0b506473f8c482140c1e7f2|9724049",
  "1.51.1|macos_x86_64|fba08acc4027f69f07cef48fbff70b8a7ecdfaa1c2aba9ad3fb31d60d9f5d4bc|10054954",
  "1.51.1|linux_arm64 |9744bc34e7b8d82ca788b667bfb7155a39b4be9aef43bf9f10318b1372cea338|8927955",
  "1.51.1|linux_x86_64|17aeb26c76820c22efa0e1838b0ab93e90cfedef43fbfc9a2f33f27eb9e5e070|9712769"
]

Known versions to verify downloads against.

Each element is a pipe-separated string of version|platform|sha256|length or version|platform|sha256|length|url_override, where:

  • version is the version string
  • platform is one of [linux_arm64,linux_x86_64,macos_arm64,macos_x86_64]
  • sha256 is the 64-character hex representation of the expected sha256 digest of the download file, as emitted by shasum -a 256
  • length is the expected length of the download file in bytes, as emitted by wc -c
  • (Optional) url_override is a specific url to use instead of the normally generated url for this version

E.g., 3.1.2|macos_x86_64|6d0f18cd84b918c7b3edd0203e75569e0c7caecb1367bbbe409b44e28514f5be|42813. and 3.1.2|macos_arm64 |aca5c1da0192e2fd46b7b55ab290a92c5f07309e7b0ebf4e45ba95731ae98291|50926|https://example.mac.org/bin/v3.1.2/mac-aarch64-v3.1.2.tgz.

Values are space-stripped, so pipes can be indented for readability if necessary.

url_platform_mapping​

--golangci-lint-url-platform-mapping="{'key1': val1, 'key2': val2, ...}"
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_URL_PLATFORM_MAPPING
pants.toml
[golangci-lint.url_platform_mapping]
key1 = val1
key2 = val2
...
default: 
{
  "linux_arm64": "linux-arm64",
  "linux_x86_64": "linux-amd64",
  "macos_arm64": "darwin-arm64",
  "macos_x86_64": "darwin-amd64"
}

A dictionary mapping platforms to strings to be used when generating the URL to download the tool.

In --url-template, anytime the {platform} string is used, Pants will determine the current platform, and substitute {platform} with the respective value from your dictionary.

For example, if you define {"macos_x86_64": "apple-darwin", "linux_x86_64": "unknown-linux"}, and run Pants on Linux with an intel architecture, then {platform} will be substituted in the --url-template option with unknown-linux.

url_template​

--golangci-lint-url-template=<str>
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_URL_TEMPLATE
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
url_template = <str>
default: https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/download/v{version}/golangci-lint-{version}-{platform}.tar.gz

URL to download the tool, either as a single binary file or a compressed file (e.g. zip file). You can change this to point to your own hosted file, e.g. to work with proxies or for access via the filesystem through a file:$abspath URL (e.g. file:/this/is/absolute, possibly by templating the buildroot in a config file).

Use {version} to have the value from --version substituted, and {platform} to have a value from --url-platform-mapping substituted in, depending on the current platform. For example, https://github.com/.../protoc-&#123;version&#125;-&#123;platform&#125;.zip.

use_unsupported_version​

--golangci-lint-use-unsupported-version=<UnsupportedVersionUsage>
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_USE_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
use_unsupported_version = <UnsupportedVersionUsage>
one of: error, warning
default: error

What action to take in case the requested version of golangci-lint is not supported.

Supported golangci-lint versions: unspecified

version​

--golangci-lint-version=<str>
PANTS_GOLANGCI_LINT_VERSION
pants.toml
[golangci-lint]
version = <str>
default: 1.51.1
