In order for a pull request adding a linter to be reviewed, the linter and the PR must follow some requirements.

Pull Request Description

  • It must have a link to the linter repository.
  • It must provide a short description about the linter.

Linter

  • It must not be a duplicate of another linter or a rule of a linter. (the team will help to verify that)
  • It must have a valid license and the file must contain the required information by the license, ex: author, year, etc.
  • The linter repository must have a CI and tests.
  • It must use go/analysis.
  • It must have a valid tag, ex: v1.0.0, v0.1.0.
  • It must not contain init().
  • It must not contain panic(), log.fatal(), os.exit(), or similar.
  • It must not have false positives/negatives. (the team will help to verify that)
  • It must have tests inside golangci-lint.

The Linter Tests Inside Golangci-lint

  • They must have at least one std lib import.
  • They must work with T=<name of the linter test file>.go make test_linters. (the team will help to verify that)

.golangci.reference.yml

  • The linter must be added to the list of available linters (alphabetical case-insensitive order).
    • enable and disable options
  • If the linter has a configuration, the exhaustive configuration of the linter must be added (alphabetical case-insensitive order)
    • The values must be different from the default ones.
    • The default values must be defined in a comment.
    • The option must have a short description.

Others Requirements

  • The files (tests and linter) inside golangci-lint must have the same name as the linter.
  • The .golangci.yml of golangci-lint itself must not be edited and the linter must not be added to this file.
  • The linters must be sorted in the alphabetical order (case-insensitive) in the Manager.GetAllSupportedLinterConfigs(...) and .golangci.reference.yml.
  • The load mode (WithLoadMode(...)):
    • if the linter doesn't use types: goanalysis.LoadModeSyntax
    • goanalysis.LoadModeTypesInfo required WithLoadForGoAnalysis() in the Manager.GetAllSupportedLinterConfigs(...)
  • The version in WithSince(...) must be the next minor version (v1.X.0) of golangci-lint.

Recommendations

  • The linter should not use SSA. (currently, SSA does not support generics)
  • The linter repository should have a readme and linting.
  • The linter should be published as a binary. (useful to diagnose bug origins)

The golangci-lint team will edit this comment to check the boxes before and during the review.

This checklist does not imply that we will accept the linter.
