Cyclop no longer working

[huornlmj]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc.).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

When I run

$ golangci-lint run ./... --disable-all -E cyclop --no-config

I only get (typecheck) results, not (cyclop) results.

Version of golangci-lint

(1.53.3)

Configuration file

None

Hello,

typecheck is not a real linter it's just a way to parse/display "compilation" and linters errors (linter reports are not errors).
So if you have typecheck reports, you will not have other reports.

[huornlmj]

Sorry but that's not actually what the issue is. The problem is that even though I'm only enabling the cyclop checker, cyclop doesn't appear to be running. Instead, the typecheck checker is running, even though I've disabled all checkers and only enabled cyclop.

[ldez]

Can you provide the reproducible example (code and configuration) asked in the issue template?

FYI, typecheck is not a real linter, it cannot be disabled because of that.

Note: we have tests that run on all PRs and all commits to be sure that linters work: https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/tree/master/test/testdata

The documentation about typecheck will be improved in #3929.
