Hey, thank you for opening your first Issue ! 🙂 If you would like to contribute we have a guide for contributors.

1. Please read the FAQ about typecheck as suggested inside the issue template.
2. golangci-lint v1.55 doesn't support go1.24 and go1.23, you should use at least v1.60 (go1.23) or v1.64 (go1.24) but I recommend using v2.1.
3. Using go install is strongly not recommended. https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/install/#install-from-sources

[Kshitij-Katiyar]

thanks @ldez

[Kshitij-Katiyar]

@ldez Is the support for go install disabled for versions v2.x.x??

[Kshitij-Katiyar]

@ldez Also, I was trying to use v1.60.3 with Go v1.23 and I am still facing the same errors

1. You didn't read the FAQ about typecheck.
2. Your CI workflow is broken: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-confluence/actions/runs/14637269353/job/41071173994?pr=140#step:3:69
3. Try things locally on a fresh clone of the repository
