Importing

"<http://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/v2/sugar|github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/v2/sugar>"

and running the linter I got this error:

golangci-lint run --skip-dirs cmd/pactgoconsumerexample_tester
WARN [runner] Can't run linter goanalysis_metalinter: inspect: failed to load package sugar: could not load export data: no export data for "<http://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/v2/sugar|github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/v2/sugar>"

Do you know what a possible remedy is for it?

nope

Can you please raise an issue? I'll have to investigate

I created an issue : https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/issues/212

ty

This issue seems similar, but my lack of acquaintance with

go

is limiting my understanding of the solution https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/issues/2280

The author of

golangci-lint

mention you are using

CGO

and not

go

(edited)

we have to use CGO, because we rely on and link to a shared library.

Did we come to a conclusion?

I don’t think so, but I’m going to kill the sugar package anyway

My issue isn't linked to the sugar package but it's something like:

"[runner] Can't run linter goanalysis_metalinter: buildir: failed to load package native: could not load export data: no export data for \"<http://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/v2/internal/native\|github.com/pact-foundation/pact-go/v2/internal/native\>""

cool. I have no idea what it means on what to do about it, but happy to fix it if you know what it is

Yeah i am not entirely sure what it means either but i will take a look.

you could run the linter on a local version of pact go, and remove/change code until it stops complaining

the linter doesn't fail locally in my repo, just on the github ci/cd runner

🤷‍♂️

So v1.41.1 of golangci-lint works

I don't use this tool, I'm happy to support a fix but my guess is it's an issue with the linter or it needs Pact Go to be configured with e.g. an ignore rule They'll need a minimal reproducible example to be able to fix tho

Currently incrementing each version to see the main culprit

interesting

when i put pact_go into a docker image and called that image in the github runner, it worked

which say install, do you mean something like

pact-go install

? or installing the package via

go get

or something?

i have both go get and and pact-go install

Perhaps it needs the ffi lib to be on it (e.g

libpact_ffi.so

)

yeah it most likely is the need for a ffi lib

but doing either of the things above you listed doesn’t do that, so that’s fasctinating
