Thanks, to explain what seems to be going on here:
golangci-lint, built with Go 1.12, will generate this error when linting Go 1.13 code.
If you're using a pre-built binary of golangci-lint then you'll run in to this error.
As @stevenh said, rebuilding golangci-lint fixes the error. Specifically, if you're currently following the golangci-lint install instructions (which downloads a pre-built binary from GitHub) then this will not work with Go 1.13. You'll have to install golangci-lint from source instead (at least until golangci-lint releases a version built with Go 1.13).
If you're installing golangci-lint with:
curl -sfL https://install.goreleaser.com/github.com/golangci/golangci-lint.sh | sh
Use this instead:
GO111MODULE=off go get -u github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lintRelated questions
