Feel free to fix. We comply with all of the linters currently in CI, but don't test against other versions.

Unfortunately outside of my expertise. Happy to learn, if you want to show me?

@mjnowen I tried reproducing this both running make golint via makefile on the entire contrib and running the linter manually with your same command and no error whatsoever. Could it be a dependancy issue? Have you run make gotidy before?

[mjnowen]

Hi @RealAnna - I think you might be correct. I have this long-standing workaround for openshift/api like this:

// openshift removed all tags from their repo, use hash commit from retracted 3.9 branch
replace github.com/openshift/api v3.9.0+incompatible => github.com/openshift/api v0.0.0-20230704153349-abb98ff04d03

If you add the above, do you now see the error(s)?

[mjnowen]

Yup, this fixed it:

// openshift removed all tags from their repo, use hash from latest commit: Oct 1, 2025
replace github.com/openshift/api v3.9.0+incompatible => github.com/openshift/api v0.0.0-20251001133852-bfcb56b39056
