Is it specific to a version of go? I don't have this failure on my side (or the platform)

[praveingk]

Myself and @shachee tried using go 18.4, golangci-lint 1.50.1 since the recent versions supports 1.18. Which version is recommended?

[jotak]

1.18 should be fine. idk what the problem is. in any case, your fix looks good, thanks

[praveingk]

Fixed and merged.
