I´m trying to use golangci-lint with vscode, however when i run it, the following error occurs

level=warning msg="[runner] Can't run linter goanalysis_metalinter: goimports: error computing diff: exec: "diff": executable file not found in %PATH%" level=error msg="Running error: 1 error occurred:\n\t* can't run linter goanalysis_metalinter: goimports: error computing diff: exec: "diff": executable file not found in %PATH%\n\n"

Does anyone know what do do?

    Ah your question dosent mention you are on windows. Anyways looks like you are missing a diff tool. Install one from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/diffutils.htm and restart your machine and try the go command again. Also make sure the diff tool you add is there in your path Commented Oct 16, 2022 at 5:06
  • @SuyashMedhavi added C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\diff3.exe to path, still not working, any ideas? Thanks for your help Commented Oct 16, 2022 at 5:23
  • I believe its looking for an exe named diff and not diff3. See you can fix that. Worst case, rename the exe Commented Oct 17, 2022 at 5:34
