This is a wrapper around golangci-lint to resolve some issues I had while trying to use flycheck-golangci-lint with lsp. Specifically, as best I could tell, the way the different checkers were executed resulted in loss of important information.

In particular, I'd either get linting errors in my editor or compilation failures. I could not find a configuration that permitted both. By writing this wrapper around golangci-lint, I can invoke go build and format the syntax errors to look like linter failures. This tricks my editor in to displaying those failures too, and so I've gotten back compilation errors and kept linting failures.

The source code in the repo is released in to the Public Domain, so you can use it however you want. This issue was driving me fucking insane, and so I hope it can be helpful for someone else.

If you do make any changes you'd find useful, I encourage you to raise a PR.

This project was built for use on my personal systems, and may not be suitable for use on yours. The following assumptions are present:

• GOPATH environment variable is set where Emacs is running
• $HOME/bin/golangci-lint is where this wrapper should be installed
• $GOPATH/bin/golangci-lint is where the real golangci-lint is installed
• $HOME/bin is on the PATH before $GOPATH/bin (e.g., $HOME/bin:$GOPATH/bin:/usr/local/bin:...)
