Upgrade GolangCI-Lint to Latest Version (v2.0.2)

[camilamacedo86]

We need to upgrade GolangCI-Lint to the latest version: https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/tag/v2.0.2

Tasks

1. Update GolangciLintVersion in code scaffolding

Update the version in:

kubebuilder/pkg/plugins/golang/v4/scaffolds/init.go

Line 41 in 3ae9604

GolangciLintVersion = "v1.63.4"

Current:

const GolangciLintVersion = "v1.63.4"

Update to:

const GolangciLintVersion = "v2.0.2"

Then run:
make generate

---

2. Update the Makefile install script

In the Makefile:
https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/Makefile

Current:

GOLANGCI_LINT = $(shell pwd)/bin/golangci-lint
golangci-lint:
	@[ -f $(GOLANGCI_LINT) ] || { \
	set -e ;\
	curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -b $(shell dirname $(GOLANGCI_LINT)) v1.63.4 ;\
	}

Update to:

GOLANGCI_LINT = $(shell pwd)/bin/golangci-lint
golangci-lint:
	@[ -f $(GOLANGCI_LINT) ] || { \
	set -e ;\
	curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golangci/golangci-lint/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -b $(shell dirname $(GOLANGCI_LINT)) v2.0.2 ;\
	}

---

3. Update GitHub Actions Linter Workflow

In the workflow file:
https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/.github/workflows/lint.yml

Current:

  - name: Run linter
    uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v6
    with:
      version: v1.63.4

Update to:

  - name: Run linter
    uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v6
    with:
      version: v2.0.2

4. Fix any lint issue that might be faced after the update to allow pass in the CI
