Welcome

  • Yes, I understand that the GitHub action repository is not the repository of golangci-lint itself.
  • Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.

Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Today the action automatic output results to github-action format and convert to annotations.

But for some solutions we need to output to other formats, one popular one is to export lint issues to Sonar: https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/enriching/external-analyzer-reports/#go

In this case, we need to output a checkstyle file and send to Sonar, but this is not allowed by this action.

I know that it's a "Github Action" and seems to make sense work only with Github Action features and I can use golangci-lint CLI manually to achieve this output, but this actions already handle a lot of useful stuffs like cache, be able to use it to other scenarios instead of Github Annotations could be cool.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Maybe create a option output-format that is default github-actions but if its not, create the file as an action output and do not try to converto things to Annotation.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Create an option export-to-sonar (optional and default false), if set to true, the output is changed to checkstyle and action have an outputted file.

Additional context.

Hello,

you can already do that:

jobs:
  golangci:
    name: lint
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          go-version: stable
      - name: golangci-lint
        uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v6
        with:
          version: v1.63
          args: --out-format=checkstyle

FYI, the action doesn't use github-actions format, and doesn't convert reports to annotations.

The github-actions format has been deprecated inside golangci-lint and not used by this action since v6.

The annotations are generated by actions/setup-go and not golangci/golangci-lint-action.
