Loads of "Error: /usr/bin/tar: ../../../go/pkg/mod/....: Cannot open: File exists

[markusressel]

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 included all information below (version, config, etc.).
• 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

The github action fails with loads of these errors, probably related to the caching:

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

[richja]

Had the same issue. Try to set skip-pkg-cache: true in action config.

[markusressel]

Thx, although it's more of a workaround than a fix I guess?

[emmaLP]

Any update on this issue please?

[caarlos0]

Are you using actions/setup-go@v4 by any chance? It automatically enables caching now, which I think is what's causing this issue.

[caarlos0]

#704

[markusressel]

@caarlos0 No I am not, I am still using 3.4.0 see:
https://github.com/markusressel/fan2go/blob/master/.github/workflows/go.yml

EDIT: Sorry I misread, but no, I am also not using setup-go v4, but v3. Again, see the link above.

[caarlos0]

In that case, probably your make test is populating the caches, which golangci-lint-action tries to override.

That's why I usually have another workflow just for linting, so one thing doesn't mess with the other...

[markusressel]

Indeed, changing the order to ensure that the lint job runs before any test or build step seems to work:

markusressel/fan2go@5e64f3b

[markusressel]

Upgrading to setup-go@v4 also seems to work, see: markusressel/fan2go#215
Closing this as fixed. Thx!
