go.mod:

module playground

go 1.22.0

main_test.go:

package main

import "testing"

}

Then:

❯  golangci-lint version && golangci-lint cache clean && golangci-lint run; echo $?

Hello,

the report of SA3000 doesn't seem wrong, in your example os.Exit is missing.

https://staticcheck.dev/docs/checks/#SA3000

[skaji]

@ldez Thank you for looking at this issue.

Since go 1.15, we don't need to call os.Exit manually. https://go.dev/doc/go1.15

A TestMain function is no longer required to call os.Exit. If a TestMain function returns, the test binary will call os.Exit with the value returned by m.Run.

So I don't think golangci-lint should report that error on go 1.22.

It's related to a change of staticcheck with the way to handle the Go version.

[ldez]

I don't understand your comment.
Can you be more clear?

[glassmonkey]

I'm not very good at English, so I apologize for my poor expression.

As you may have noticed, it seems that the Go version for staticlint is not being propagated correctly.
I have a hunch that the recent version upgrade might be the issue, which is what I meant in my previous comment.

Thank you for your prompt response.

@ldez Thank you!
