--new/--new-from-rev flags does not work

[invidian]

It seems that --new or/and --new-from-rev flags are not really working. I've created test repository to demonstrate: https://github.com/invidian/golangci-lint-new-from-rev

There are 2 branches, master with one issue and new with 2 issues. When running following command on new branch:

golangci-lint run --enable-all --max-same-issues=0 --max-issues-per-linter=0 --new-from-rev=master -v

I would expect to just see one warning introduced in commit 0a550855f7a5573e791060cb1f3ab1e6a5eacbee. However, I see none. The same thing happens, when I introduce new code, which should result in warning and I run the linter with --new.

When running without --new and/or --new-from-rev, everything seems fine. My guess is, that https://github.com/golangci/revgrep is just filtering all found issues, instead of just old ones. I've tried testing the following:

golangci-lint run --enable-all --max-same-issues=0 --max-issues-per-linter=0 |& revgrep master

But it gives the same result (no warnings printed). And the debug output:

Thank you for creating the issue!

Some additional findings:

• it seems the issue has something to do with matching file names. I have following line in ~/.gitconfig:

  [diff]
    noprefix = true
  

  I doubt it helps.
• I added following patch and with noprefix = false, it seems to work now:

  $ git diff
  diff --git pkg/result/processors/diff.go pkg/result/processors/diff.go
  index fc4aba4..45e8e8d 100644

          if err := c.Prepare(); err != nil {
                  return nil, fmt.Errorf("can't prepare diff by revgrep: %s", err)

Perhaps that could be reported to https://github.com/bradleyfalzon/revgrep, but it seems unmaintained and https://github.com/golangci/revgrep does not have issue tracking enabled...

Edit: so it seems there are 2 issues here:

• revgrep does not handle output from go vet correctly (as file paths start with ./)
• revgrep does not work correctly with golangci-lint, when user has diff.noprefix = true set in their .gitconfig.

I'm also seeing some issues with the --new-from-rev flag in v1.23.6 with the diff processor basically throwing everything out.
This is from running a pretty basic filter, new issues since branching away from origin/master: golangci-lint run --new-from-rev=origin/master --verbose:

INFO [runner] Processors filtering stat (out/in): cgo: 9160/9160,
path_prettifier: 9160/9160, skip_dirs: 9160/9160, exclude-rules: 7120/7120,
exclude: 7120/9160, uniq_by_line: 5407/7113, autogenerated_exclude: 9160/9160,

filename_unadjuster: 9160/9160, skip_files: 9160/9160 

Edit to add: rolling back from v1.23.6 to v.1.23.3 seems to have helped; I'm now seeing issues that were introduced only since the nominated revision come up once again.
