Add this file both to the main LND directory so that devs can use it for
local linter runs and also add it to the `tools` directory so that the
docker environment used to run the linter in CI has access to it. A
custom linter binary can be built via `golangci-lint custom`. This will
pull in and register all the plugins listed in the new config file when
building the new binary. The new binary can then be run using
`custom-gcl run`.
This commit introduces the `LLPlugin` type and converts the existing lll
code such that the LLPlugin implements the register.LinterPlugin
interface. This will allow us to plug it into golangci-linter as a
plugin.
In this commit, we copy the implementation of the golangci-lint lll
linter which we currently use in our CI flow during the `make lint`
check. This commit copies the code mostly as is (the only exception
being the line which trims white space before checking if a line starts
with "import"), and formats it to fit our codebase guidelines. A test is
also added so that we can be sure that the following commits which
adjust the implementation have the intended results.
The custom linter is put into its own module as this is requied by the
`golangci-lint custom` when building the custom linter binary which
includes the plugin.
Bump all build go versions to v1.21.0
Bump the minimum build package version to v1.19.0
Debian "buster" is not longer supported. Security updates have been
discontinued since June 30th 2022. We will build using the latest
version, "bookworm".
This commit updates the tool `golangci-lint` to the latest version that
has fixed a bug in the linter `paralleltest`. Also `go mod tidy` is run
inside `tool`, and `nosnakecase` is disabled as it's deprecated.
As usual, we keep with the last two Go versions, which means the last
year of Go release (they release every 6 months or so).
This change means we can now use the type params (generics) in the
project!
