Golangci-lint Incompatibility with newer versions of Go?

[jwebster7]

I'm running version Go v1.13 and GoLangCI-Lint v1.17.1.
.golangci.yml:
goconfig.txt
Go Version: go1.13 darwin/amd64

I'm experiencing some encoding issues when I run GoLangCI-Lint against my code.
It looks like the linter is raising issue with the Go standard libraries (strings, fmt, etc.).

*golangci-lint run output
main.go:1: /usr/local/go/src/strconv/quote.go:405:12: ValidString not declared by package utf8 (typecheck)

main.go:1: /usr/local/go/src/bytes/reader.go:98:18: DecodeRune not declared by package utf8 (typecheck)

Rebuild golangci-lint with go 1.13 :-)

This is a duplicate of #659.

Can a maintainer release a new version built with go 1.13?

The suggested CI method from the README is broken

Hi,
golangci-lint now supports go1.13,
and I've published the v1.18.0 release today. It's built by go1.13.

I ran into the same problem, updated to 1.19.0 just now, but the errors remain.

Am I doing something wrong?

Please make a new issue with —version output

[tobiassjosten]

My bad! I had a go get installation that overrode the brew installation. The latter didn't have a --version flag, so it wasn't as obvious as it could have been. :) All sorted now and it works fine with 1.19.1. 👍
