pre-release for Go 1.14

[pierrre]

Hello,
Is it possible to have a pre-release (maybe a beta) for Go 1.14 ?
It seems that the pre-compiled binaries are not compatible with Go 1.14rc1.

[ernado]

Hey, I'm planning an alpha release compiled with go1.14rc1 until Friday.

Seems it is non-trivial to do it in automated way via our CI/CD so I've did it manually.

@ernado, @pierrre I've updated the .travis.yml to build against Go 1.14rc1 in #964. However, https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/master/.travis.yml#L34 needs to be updated to to 1.14+ before new a release will be built that supports the version. @pierrre Have you tried installing via go get now that #930 has been merged?

[pierrre]

Thank you, but I have another very strange error:

I think I've already mentioned this issue somewhere.
It's due to a recent change in x/tools (the config of the govet linter)

EDIT: sorry, I never reported this issue actually, it was on the internal slack of my company

[ernado]

@pierrre what version is causing that error?

[pierrre]

v1.23.3 installed with go get
cd /tmp && GO111MODULE=on GOBIN=/home/pierre/go/pkg/golangci-lint/v1.23.3-mod go get -v github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.23.3

But I'm dumb: I understand now that #930 has not yet been released in a tag, correct ?

[ernado]

Oh, I forgot to mention that, sorry :(
You can try version from my comment or build it by yourself with goreleaser --snapshot command in project root.

[ernado]

I've also issued v1.23.4 that will be available in ~20min.

[ernado]

Meh, due to some issues with CI/CD the v1.23.6 is valid latest version.

[pierrre]

The install with go get and v1.23.6 works perfectly fine for me now !
Thank you very much!

Do you plan to make this installation method supported again ?

[ernado]

The go get method should work until we have any critical replace directives and go tools are not updating in backwards incompatible manner (e.g. last our bug with x/tools).

Personally I will try to fix any go-get related bugs, so it is kinda supported, but binary releases are still recommended.

[pierrre]

OK.

I will close this issue now, because my problem is fixed: I can use golangci-lint with Go 1.14rc1.

FYI, I'm using this command to install it:

cd /tmp && GO111MODULE=on GOBIN=/home/pierre/go/pkg/golangci-lint/v1.23.6-mod go get -v github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.23.6

[pierrre]

It's very strange:

• my local Go version is 1.14rc1
• I'm running golangci-lint v1.23.6 from the pre-compiled binaries you provide
• it works without any error

So, it seems I don't need to use go get 🤔
The v1.23.6 compiled with Go 1.13 works with my local Go 1.14rc1
Am I misunderstanding something ?
