go fmt not working as expected in golangci-lint

[singh1203]

I am using pre-commit-config.ymal file for linting the whole repository; more specifically, I am expecting to get go fmt linting whenever I am executing golangci-lint run ./... but instead it passes the run but no linting takes place whereas I am manually trying to execute (for example): go fmt -s it works properly, and also I have confirmed that .golangci.yaml is not being overridden by any other .golangci.yaml in the directory

First, go fmt is different than gofmt.
Inside golangci-lint, we use gofmt.

Currently gofmt is integrated as a linter, not as a formatter, so its scope is limited to the current module.

You don't provide enough information about your project to have a more precise answer.

I recommend reading the v2 issue: #5300

Okay noted.
So I need to format the code by running gofmt -w . or go fmt ./... since both lead to the same result.

gofmt and go fmt don't lead to the same results.

go fmt is more limited than gofmt.
