How can i see the the version of linter

[NoSugarCoffee]

golangci-lint linters cmd just print the linter's config but no version.
The scene about this may can help me to know real version of linter then i can do some debug for specific linter

There may be better ways, but this may prove useful until you get a better answer.

For the examples below, assume that you want to determine what version of the gosec linter was included.

Check your installed binary

Run go version -m $(which golangci-lint) (or go version -m $(which golangci-lint).exe).

$ go version -m $(which golangci-lint).exe | grep gosec
        dep     github.com/securego/gosec/v2    v2.17.0 h1:ZpAStTDKY39insEG9OH6kV3IkhQZPTq9a9eGOLOjcdI=

The version of golangci-lint installed on my system includes v2.17.0 of the gosec linter.

Check go.mod

Each golangic-lint release is associated with a tag. Determine what version you're troubleshooting and consult that tag.

For this example, we're looking at the v1.54.2 tag. Replace v1.54.2 with the specific tag that matches the version you are troubleshooting.

Tag links:

• https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/v1.54.2/go.mod
  • detailed UI
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v1.54.2/go.mod
  • suitable for CLI use

$ curl --silent https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v1.54.2/go.mod | grep gosec
        github.com/securego/gosec/v2 v2.17.0

---

FWIW: v2.17.0 of the gosec linter has a confirmed bug (see securego/gosec#1001).

You just have to run golangci-lint version --debug

ex:

$ golangci-lint version --debug | grep gosec
dep     github.com/securego/gosec/v2    v2.17.0 h1:ZpAStTDKY39insEG9OH6kV3IkhQZPTq9a9eGOLOjcdI=

Thanks for your answer

@atc0005
It doesn't works for some linters. It also dependend on human to detemine.

For example: I want to detemine staticcheck version in golangci@v1.51.0. I viewed https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/v1.51.0/go.mod but no staticcheck key words. I need to go to staticcheck repo then find the module naming. Finally, I got honnef.co/go/tools v0.4.0-0.dev.0.20221209223220-58c4d7e4b720, so the version of staticcheck is v0.4.0-0.dev.0.20221209223220-58c4d7e4b720

I mean if golangci-lint linters can support print more details. But maybe not worth.

Thanks for your help.
