Unable to change staticcheck severity to warning

[DONSA]

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available. (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

I've deprecated some methods in my code and now the linter is flagging them as errors and returning exit code 1, which makes the pipeline fail.

Version of golangci-lint

golangci-lint has version 1.38.0 built from 507703b on 2021-03-03T13:53:01Z

Verbose output of running

Code example or link to a public repository

// Deprecated: Weight is being calculated using weight value in StoreItemsWeight
// TotalWeightStore calculates how much a total list weighs in metric and imperial for store items
func TotalWeightStore(items []*model.StoreItem) *model.TotalWeight {

Hello,

The warning and the error will result in the same output.

The severity configuration doesn't change the exit code but adds/changes the field severity into some output format.

I recommend adding an exclude rule:

  exclude-rules:
    - linters:
        - staticcheck
      text: "SA1019: measurement.TotalWeightStore is deprecated"
