Running error: context loading failed: package github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/pkg/commands: no go files to analyze

[Anjana-Prabhakar]

Thank you for creating the issue!

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).

Please include the following information:

Version of golangci-lint

```console $ golangci-lint --version golangci-lint has version (devel) built from (unknown, mod sum: "") on (unknown) ```

Config file

$ cat .golangci.yml
linters:
  disable-all: true
  enable:
    - unused
linters-settings:
  unused:
    check-exported: true

Go environment

$ go version && go env
# paste output here

Verbose output of running

$ golangci-lint run -v
# paste output here

i get an error "Running error: context loading failed: package github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/pkg/commands: no go files to analyze" even when there are go files in the location.

@Anjana-Prabhakar: What's the output when adding the environment variables GL_DEBUG=linters_output GOPACKAGESPRINTGOLISTERRORS=1?

[Anjana-Prabhakar]

@Dominik-K Thanks for the response. I added the variables to .bashrc. The error remains the same though.

[Dominik-K]

@Anjana-Prabhakar There should be more output now. Can you paste it here, please?

[Anjana-Prabhakar]

@Dominik-K I am sorry but its still the same one line error that i get.
Is it sufficient that I add the lines

export GL_DEBUG=linters_output 
export GOPACKAGESPRINTGOLISTERRORS=1

to ~/.bashrc , followed by the command
source ~/.bashrc

[Dominik-K]

@Anjana-Prabhakar Yes, that should be sufficient. You can also add these environments before the golangci-lint command.

Probably a duplicate of #825.
