chore: problem with codeClimate

[harsh-98]

Background

CodeClimate is built upon different plugins like govet, golint, gofmt, golangci-lint etc. Almost all of the suggestions in codeClimate report are from golint. But golint has been deprecated in preference to staticcheck.

Codeclimate has a tool available for getting these suggestions locally. I looked for a way to only run codeClimate on specific comments, but can't find it.

Currently I have to run codeClimate separately for each file to get all the suggestions locally, this is a hassle. My codecliamte.yml config for replicating codeClimate report locally is:

plugins:
  golint:
    enabled: true

and then run

docker run \
  --interactive --tty --rm \
  --env CODECLIMATE_CODE="$PWD" \
  --volume "$PWD":/code \
  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  --volume /tmp/cc:/tmp/cc \
  codeclimate/codeclimate analyze file_name/directory

Questions:

• Does someone know how to disable some golint checks in .codeclimate.yml? There is golint config section on codeclimate website but that doesn't delve into this and golint is deprecated so info from there too.
• Can we change the golint plugin to something more configurable and active in codeClimate?
