Error: options working-directory and only-new-issues aren't compatible

Hi,

I tried setting both working-directory and only-new-issues but got: Error: options working-directory and only-new-issues aren't compatible

I am working on a monorepo and would like to be able to get only new issues from the linter. How hard would be to allow it?

I am not familiar with the workings of a "monorepo" (I am new to golang), but as I understand it:

golangci-lint will (should?) only report issues in the changes included in the reference patch, which should only be changes actively made. This also impacts how it makes it's annotations internally.

If you want to exclude changes that may be in other directories, please have a look at the golangci-lint Configuration Options.

Hi, I am also using this action in the context of a mono repo. I've created one job for each project and set the working-directory field accordingly:

name: golangci-lint
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  golangci-first-project:
    name: lint/first-project
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: golangci-lint
        uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v2
        with:
          version: v1.29
          working-directory: first-project
  golangci-second-project:
    name: lint/second-project
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: golangci-lint
        uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v2
        with:
          version: v1.29
          working-directory: second-project

The PullRequest contains only changed files of first-project but the linter is also checking and reporting findings in second-project
Do I need to configure the action differently?

Hi! Our project has its source code in a subdirectory. Thus we need to set the working-directory option which leads to this error.

I have created a PR that should address this issue #795
