Could not find file '/tmp/golangci-lint-action-problem-matchers.json'

[d-honeybadger]

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 read the typecheck section of the FAQ (https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/faq/#why-do-you-have-typecheck-errors).
• 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

In the 1.58.0 release, github-actions output print fails w/ the following error: (GHA logs)

Error: Unable to process command '::add-matcher::/tmp/golangci-lint-action-problem-matchers.json' successfully.
Error: Could not find file '/tmp/golangci-lint-action-problem-matchers.json'

The same linting action is working fine w/ golangci-lint v1.57

A minimal reproducible example or link to a public repository

The issue isn't about any specific linting rule :shr

Validation

• Yes, I've included all information above (version, config, etc.).

Hey, thank you for opening your first Issue ! 🙂 If you would like to contribute we have a guide for contributors.

[ldez]

Hello,

/tmp/golangci-lint-action-problem-matchers.json is a new element of v1.58, this file didn't exist before.

The file is created by the golangci-lint (only for the specific GitHub action format) before the print and the file is never removed.

I'll investigate, but if anyone has the same problem on the public repository, I'm interested in a link to your CI.

[ldez]

@d-honeybadger can I have your GHA workflow file?

[sfc-gh-raram]

I'm also experiencing this same issue. Curious to see what the issue is.

[ldez]

If you are facing the same problem, the best way to contribute is to provide the following information:

• a link to a public repository
• a workflow file
• everything that describes precisely your environment

[kranurag7]

adding my workflow if it helps in reproducing this error.

Workflow file: https://github.com/syself/cluster-api-provider-hetzner/blob/d5283ddad87bd2046ab4e48f28f9dbf73f5301f2/.github/workflows/pr-lint.yml

PR introducing update to 1.58.0: syself/cluster-api-provider-hetzner#1288

We use renovate to update golangci-lint and above PR introduced the change and CI reported the error mentioned above.

No rush, please take your time fixing this.
Thank you for all the work you do.

[ldez]

You are not using the GitHub Action but the Docker image or the binary.
I think it's a bad idea to use --out-format=github-actions in this context.

https://github.com/syself/cluster-api-provider-hetzner/blob/d5283ddad87bd2046ab4e48f28f9dbf73f5301f2/Makefile#L689-L700

[kranurag7]

Yes, we want to use the same thing locally and in CI that's why we run the workflow inside a container. I'll look into updating the output format.

[ldez]

github-actions format has a lot of limitations (ex: max 10 annotations), I think the default output format (i.e. colored-line-number) will be better in your context.

In all cases, thank you for providing a reproducible context ❤️
