import-alias-naming incorrect?

[marcelloh]

Describe the bug https://go.dev/blog/package-names On this page should be something mentioned about alias naming, but I can't find it. Also: when I try this: ^[a-z][\w]{0,}$ it still complains about libTracer not matching it. import-alias-naming: import name (libTracer) must match the regular expression: ^[a-z][\w]{0

To Reproduce I have it running from golangci-lint

      # https://github.com/mgechev/revive/blob/master/RULES_DESCRIPTIONS.md#import-alias-naming
      - name: import-alias-naming
        arguments: "^[a-z][\\w]{0,}$"

Expected behavior I expect a working solution, where revive doesn't complain about my imports.

Additional context

[marcelloh]

found out that this works, which is good enough for me: "^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$"

@marcelloh the page you are referring to indeed only speaks about the package names, but is there any good reason for the aliases to not follow the idiomatic rules of the package names? In the end alias is an alias of the package name, in other words it is a package name as well.

As it works for me now with a proper regex, I feel that it doesn't matter. (and not so much fan of _)
