Static type checks doesn't include embedded types with github action

Welcome

• [X] Yes, I understand that the GitHub action repository is not the repository of golangci-lint itself.
• [X] Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• [X] Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).

Description of the problem

Well I hope im not mistaken and there isn't any issues regarding this. Whenever I'm doing a check on my code base which contains a type with embedded types in it. ex:

type FtpClient struct {
    *goftp.Client
    *config.FtpConfiguration
}

I get a linting error only when doing a check with golangci-lint and I get these errors:

Error: ftp/ftp.go:61:39: client.FtpServerPath undefined (type *FtpClient has no field or method FtpServerPath) (typecheck)
        path := fmt.Sprintf("%s/%s", client.FtpServerPath, file)
                                            ^
  Error: ftp/ftp.go:62:16: client.Retrieve undefined (type *FtpClient has no field or method Retrieve) (typecheck)
        err = client.Retrieve(path, buffer)
                     ^
  Error: ftp/ftp.go:70:23: client.ReadDir undefined (type *FtpClient has no field or method ReadDir) (typecheck)
    files, err := client.ReadDir(client.FtpServerPath)

My building is passing just fine and I don't get any linting on my code editor

Version of golangci-lint

1.59

Version of the GitHub Action

latest? unsure what versions there are

Hello,

I recommend reading https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/faq/#why-do-you-have-typecheck-errors

The problem is not embedded types.

:thinking: I'm trying to understand the behavior inside your CI.

[ldez]

Maybe it's a side effect of the divergence between your module name github.com/Kjone1/imageElevator and your repo name https://github.com/KJone1/ImageElevator :thinking:

Do you depend on cgo?

[ldez]

Yes, you are depending on cgo:

• https://github.com/KJone1/ImageElevator/blob/8a157b63a67c8aa2941fc9a9e686580f2dfab268/go.mod#L6C2-L6C29
• https://github.com/containers/image?tab=readme-ov-file#building
• https://github.com/KJone1/ImageElevator/blob/8a157b63a67c8aa2941fc9a9e686580f2dfab268/.github/workflows/go.yml#L27-L32

So you need to install the cgo dependency inside the golangci-lint workflow. https://github.com/KJone1/ImageElevator/blob/8a157b63a67c8aa2941fc9a9e686580f2dfab268/.github/workflows/lint.yml
