Summary:
Filter out gas linter error checks for fmt.Fprintf commands. This required defining a custom linter around gas that additionally included the offending code.
Notes:
Gas format, without piping it through gometalinter, gives output like this:
$ gas -fmt=csv geth/jail/console/console.go
geth/jail/console/console.go,21,Errors unhandled.,LOW,HIGH,"fmt.Fprintf(w, ""%s: %s"", consoleEventName, formatForConsole(fn.ArgumentList))"
Gometalinter, by default, does not grab the line of code when it filters gas errors. To resolve this, I created a wrapper around gas (I wasn't sure what to call this "gas wrapper", I opted for gasv2, open to other names).
The first part of the regular expression was taken directly from gometalinter (see https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter/blob/master/linters.go#L236), and I then appended ,\".*\" to additionally grab the line of code of the offending line. Lastly, I excluded ".*Errors unhandled.*fmt.Fprintf.*" to filter out only fmt.Fprintf errors around omitted errors.
Also as a result of this change, gas lint output will now include the offending code.
Closes#590
* Enable gometalinter on tests and fix static analysis issues
* Remove unneeded change
* Fix additional lint errors
* Add nolint directives and error checks
* Add error assertions instead of nolint directives
* Go back to using lint directive for loop.Run goroutine
* Add error check to loop.Run
