Go linting with nogo in Bazel

i use nogo instead of golangci-lint for Go linting in Bazel. nogo is a rules_go feature that compiles Go analyzers into the build. Lint errors become build errors. Bazel caches results per package, so incremental builds only re-lint what changed. golangci-lint has its own cache, but it doesn’t share between CI and local, so you duplicate work. Setup You enable nogo in MODULE.bazel by pointing go_sdk.nogo at a nogo() target: go_sdk = use_extension("@rules_go//go:extensions.bzl", "go_sdk") go_sdk.from_file(go_mod = "//:go.mod") go_sdk.nogo(nogo = "//:nogo") go_sdk.from_file reads the Go version from your go.mod, so you don’t duplicate it. You can also use go_sdk.download(version = "1.24.5") if you want to pin it explicitly. Read more
