Hello,

I copy paste your command and I don't reproduce your problem:

$ docker run --rm -it golang:1.20-alpine sh
/go # apk add -q git curl
/go # curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -d -b $(go env GOPATH)/bin v1.53.3 
golangci/golangci-lint info checking GitHub for tag 'v1.53.3'

This is probability because you have a problem accessing GitHub API.

This is probability because you have a problem accessing GitHub API

what does this means, how to have the access?

[ldez]

can you do that:

curl -H "Accept:application/json" https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/v1.53.3

the expected response is:

$ curl -H "Accept:application/json" https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/v1.53.3

[vyskvy]

i got this

{"id":108711254,"tag_name":"v1.53.3","update_url":"/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/tag/v1.53.3","update_authenticity_token":"8EcviBM4ldPIhSl-qaDA4fYW1CMx058k_DLn5z2E9JR8cDpUL6e88fGg9O4EKZh316s80KOHCqDdZsfOPHpxQQ","delete_url":"/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/tag/v1.53.3","delete_authenticity_token":"vmoa7RWU-HshilWHdYYoi6HHn8Z5wK_0EAXkwqpegL1oPFTcs3wjnuVzUccrZ8vwg5eI6So434wi31LCi4iAyQ","edit_url":"/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/edit/v1.53.3"}

[ldez]

so it should work.

The script just does that:

$ curl -H "Accept:application/json" https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/v1.53.3 2>&1 | tr -s '\n' ' ' | sed 's/.*"tag_name":"//' | sed 's/".*//'
v1.53.3

golangci-lint/install.sh

Lines 117 to 121 in 91afddc

	REALTAG=$(github_release "$OWNER/$REPO" "${TAG}") && true
	if test -z "$REALTAG"; then
	log_crit "unable to find '${TAG}' - use 'latest' or see https://github.com/${PREFIX}/releases for details"
	exit 1
	fi

golangci-lint/install.sh

Lines 324 to 334 in 91afddc

	github_release() {
	owner_repo=$1
	version=$2
	test -z "$version" && version="latest"
	giturl="https://github.com/${owner_repo}/releases/${version}"
	json=$(http_copy "$giturl" "Accept:application/json")
	test -z "$json" && return 1
	version=$(echo "$json" | tr -s '\n' ' ' | sed 's/.*"tag_name":"//' | sed 's/".*//')
	test -z "$version" && return 1
	echo "$version"
	}

what is your OS?

[vyskvy]

linux ubuntu

[ldez]

I think the problem is just related to the GitHub API rate limit (too many calls to the GitHub API) => wait a few minutes and retry.

[vyskvy]

i dont think so, because im struggling with these 4 last hours

[ldez]

If you retry before the end of the rate limit the problem will always be the same.

Can you try this command:

curl -s -H "Accept:application/json" https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/v1.53.3 | tr -s '\n' ' ' | sed 's/.*"tag_name":"//' | sed 's/".*//'

[vyskvy]

returns this

v1.53.3

but i found way this to work, it seems i have installed this already jsut instead running

golangci-lint run

i use

$HOME/go/bin/golangci-lint run

and now it will work

[ldez]

You have misled me: your problem is not the download but the run.

$GOPATH/bin should be added to your PATH.

This is not related to golangci-lint but to your Go installation.

[vyskvy]

I just found that but its weird that download gives message I sent you, however thanks a lot for support!
