Invalid line number panic

Description of the problem

I would expect golangci-lint to not crash. Maybe sending errors but not panic

Also experiencing this in CI against version 1.63.1, same metalinter error just with a different linter. Tested with 1.62.2 and not getting the error locally

[ldez]

If you are facing the same problem, the best way to contribute is to provide the following information:

A code example or link to a public repository.

golangci-lint --version

cat .golangci.yml

go version && go env

golangci-lint cache clean
golangci-lint run -v

[ldez]

FYI, I'm on the topic

[ldez]

I created a fix.

The problem happens when a file has no EOL on the last line of the file.
The workaround is to add the missing EOL.

[ldez]

Fixed in v1.63.2

[yurishkuro]

We're still getting the same error with v1.63.2

• upgrade PR fix(deps): update module github.com/golangci/golangci-lint to v1.63.3 jaegertracing/jaeger#6455
• failed run https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/actions/runs/12583072178/job/35069886353?pr=6455

The workaround is to add the missing EOL.

The output doesn't specify which file is causing the panic. I've seen it fail complaining about different packages.

Can you try v1.63.3?

[yurishkuro]

Thanks - v1.63.3 worked (renovate bot just updated the PR).
