I have installed Sublime Linter, SublimeLinter-golangcilint, and the golangci-lint helper as per instructions, but am unsuccessful in getting the linter to work with Sublime 3 (dev channel build 3210) on Manjaro Linux.

I can run golangci-lint from the command line, and it appears to work OK. It was installed with curl as per the instructions, and the binary lives in /home/tony/.local/bin/golangci-lint. I set debug on for SublimeLinter and when I open a Go file, the output is something like this:

SublimeLinter: sublime_linter.py:593  Linting 'boolean.go' took 0.03s

As you can see, an issue is that golangcilint can't find the 'go' executable, and so generates an error and no output in Sublime. The go executable is in my path I'm sure, so:

[tony@linux-box-ajd Installed Packages]$ type go
go is /usr/local/go/bin/go

[tony@linux-box-ajd Installed Packages]$ env | grep path
PATH=/home/tony/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/home/tony/go/bin

The go executable is in /usr/local/go/bin, so I can't really see why golangcilint thinks it can't find it on the PATH.

Sublime Linter works 100% fine with other languages/linters, it's just this one that I'm struggling with. Is this a genuine issue, or a rookie mistake? Appreciate some help.

Thanks

Tony

Hey, thank you for opening your first Issue ! 🙂 If you would like to contribute we have a guide for contributors.

[SVilgelm]

@tonydunn Could you please update to v1.35.2, there was a fix in gci, just to double check

[tonydunn]

@SVilgelm I updated as requested. A cold start of sublime gets this:

SublimeLinter: #1 linter.py:837       WARNING: golangcilint cannot locate 'golangci-lint'
Please refer to the readme of this plugin and our troubleshooting guide: http://www.sublimelinter.com/en/stable/troubleshooting.html

Anything else I can do to provide information? For sure both 'go' and 'golangci-lint' are in my PATH and run from from cli.

[ldez]

It's a SublimeLinter configuration issue. Check your Subime configuration.

[tonydunn]

@ldez That's even worse news :( I was starting to think that might be it, as the SublimeLinter debug is where all the ugliness is. I'll go and take a look, maybe see if there is an issue over there. Close this issue?

[ldez]

Sorry but I cannot help you more because I don't use SublimeText, so yes I will close this issue.
I hope you will find a solution.

We need to make golangci-lint avalible for all users. sudo ln -s "$GOPATH/bin/golangci-lint" /usr/local/bin/ solved the problem in my case.
