Use Case

This issue starts discussion about enabling:

Rule is mapped to CWE-703: Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions.

Expected behavior

Decision if rule should be enabled or not.

Actual behavior

For this rule no findings were found in current code.

Probably, because other linter guards checking errors. However, nothing prevents us from turning also G104 on.

Additional info

For this rule additional configuration can be provided:

      # Additional functions to ignore while checking unhandled errors.
      # Following functions always ignored:
      #   bytes.Buffer:
      #     - Write
      #     - WriteByte
      #     - WriteRune
      #     - WriteString
      #   fmt:
      #     - Print
      #     - Printf
      #     - Println
      #     - Fprint
      #     - Fprintf
      #     - Fprintln
      #   strings.Builder:
      #     - Write
      #     - WriteByte
      #     - WriteRune
      #     - WriteString
      #   io.PipeWriter:
      #     - CloseWithError
      #   hash.Hash:
      #     - Write
      #   os:
      #     - Unsetenv
      # Default: {}

I think this one can even replace the existing err check linter. As here we can tell to ignore for example buffer.WriteByte which is never going to return an error.

I reviewed findings and I didn't find anything which hadn't been found by errcheck.

I think this one can even replace the existing err check linter. As here we can tell to ignore for example buffer.WriteByte which is never going to return an error.

Moreover, ignoring some functions in gosec:G104 is not possible because of golangci/golangci-lint#3749
Also, is seems that revive:unhandled-error doesn't find more issues than errcheck (and it is less flexible/configurable).
