Welcome

Description of the problem

Hi, we've encountered some strange behavior with the govet printf linter.

If we edit the previously reported file without fixing the issue, it stops reporting the issue. However, if we clean the cache, it gets back to normal, but I'm not sure we're supposed to clean the cache before every run.

asciicast

There is one interesting detail that I think may be a clue though.
It stops being unstable if we change the code so that it doesn't import logger, but initializes log in place:

 package somepackage
 
-import "reproduction/logger"
+import "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
 
-var log = logger.NewLogger()
+var log = logrus.New()
 
 func SomeFunc() {
        log.Warnf("SOME OTHER TEXT %v") // this line is supposed to be reported by govet printf linter
 }

Hello,

the problem is related to 2 things: the cache, and the relative position between reports and the code.

  1. The first run fills the cache with reports
  • the report targets the file somefile.go inside the package somepackage but the report is related to a function of another package (logger).
  1. The second run uses the cache and invalids the cache for the package somepackage
  • only the "invalided" package will be analyzed
  • but the root of the report is not inside somepackage but logger (and it's not a dependency).
  • so when the package is analyzed there is no report.

For now, I have no solution, I need to investigate more.
