Select a specific go version

[adrientiburce]

Hello everyone,

Since go:1.17 a transition has started to remove the // +build flag and use only //go:build.

I understood that during the 1.17 version, linters gofmt and goimports will add the second flag and keep the first one : as explained here

The thing is my team uses go1.16.5 so we would like to still use golangci-lint and the gofmt linter locally without having every build tag being modified.

So my question is : is there a way to choose a specific version when running golangci-lint ?
Also I tried to disable this specific rule, but I didn't find a way of doing that neither.

Thanks for your help !

Hello!

According to https://golangci-lint.run/usage/configuration/, please try

  # Define the Go version limit.
  # Mainly related to generics support since go1.18.
  # Default: use Go version from the go.mod file, fallback on the env var `GOVERSION`, fallback on 1.18
  go: '1.19'
