wrapcheck
A Go linter that checks if errors from external packages are properly wrapped to improve debugging.
What is wrapcheck?
Wrapcheck is a Go linter that checks whether errors returned from external packages are properly wrapped with additional context. It solves the problem of ambiguous error origins during debugging by enforcing error wrapping at package boundaries, making it easier to trace where errors originate in complex applications.
Go developers working on applications that integrate multiple external libraries and need better error traceability, particularly those following Go 1.13+ error handling patterns.
Developers choose Wrapcheck because it automates enforcement of error wrapping best practices, integrates seamlessly with existing tools like golangci-lint, and provides configurable rules to adapt to different codebase requirements.
