Warning for option that has not been set (linters.errcheck.ignore)

[ping-localhost]

Welcome

• 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 read the typecheck section of the FAQ (https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/faq/#why-do-you-have-typecheck-errors).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

My current configuration warns be for something that hasn't been set.

The configuration option linters.errcheck.ignore is deprecated, please use linters.errcheck.exclude-functions.

Validation

• Yes, I've included all information above (version, config, etc.).

[boring-cyborg]

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

[ping-localhost]

Also happens when I disable all linters. I have no further mentions of ignore in my config.

[Tadimsky]

Seeing the same here.

Looks like it's being set by default here:

golangci-lint/pkg/config/linters_settings.go

Line 29 in bfca456

Ignore: "fmt:.*",

[ldez]

I created a PR to fix that.

As a workaround, you should explicitly set ignore to an empty value:

linters-settings:
  errcheck:
    ignore : ""
