The action fails validation on custom linters configuration

Description of the problem

Hi,

We use custom linters and our golangci-lint action just started failing with validation errors on .golangci.yaml.

The message we get is:

Error: Failed to run: Error: Command failed: /home/runner/go/bin/golangci-lint config verify

jsonschema: "linters-settings.custom.connecterr" does not validate with "/properties/linters-settings/properties/custom/patternProperties/%5E.%2A$/oneOf": oneOf failed, subschemas 0, 1 matched

Could maybe be related to this one as turning off validating made it start working again: #1171

Forgot to mention, adding verify: false to the action config is a viable workaround.

Fixed our issues, looks like there were some changes in the configuration file that needed looking at https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters

[kurtislamb]

Might be worth posting your .golangci.yaml / validating against the latest docs

[andersroos]

I did post it, it is under "Golangci-lint configuration" above. Can't see anything wrong with it related to the docs, the fields the validator complains about looks correct to me.

I think the root cause might addressed here by @Namnamseo

• Require type for oneOf mutual exclusion golangci-lint#5426

So for now verify: false is an option

The jsonschemas have been updated.
