[jnan806]

Welcome

• Yes, I understand that the GitHub action repository is not the repository of golangci-lint itself.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).

Description of the problem

the logs is too few, and i cannot judge what the problem in the logs.

Just came here to see if I'm doing something wrong. I'm facing the same issue.

Coming from GitLab CI where the error, line number and file name is easily available to paste it into my IDE (bringing me to the exact spot the issue is happening) this absence is very confusing.

@dewey

maybe #119 (comment) is useful for you to resolve it, but it is not be the best way

[jnan806]

@ldez I resolved this issue by #119 (comment), but I think it is not the best way. Because there is a param in .golangci.yaml like following:

So does golangci-lint-action can exec with above param?

[ldez]

With the new version of the action (v3.6.0) you can now provide extra args to add extra output format.

Example:

    - name: Golangci Lint
      uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v3
      with:
        version: v1.53.2
        args: --out-format=colored-line-number

Related to #769

It's ok by adding args in action now ,
but still does not work by define it in .golangci.yaml like following:

[ldez]

It must be defined through CLI flags like in my example.

yeah, your example is ok .

And in https://golangci-lint.run/usage/configuration/#output-configuration also has a setting item to config the output format, so i think should it also can read from the .golangci.yml? 😄

The action doesn't read the configuration file because the expected outputs on a CI are different than the local outputs.

So you need to use CLI flags.
