The dependencies keep on installing themselves again and again

[thomasgodart]

Description

Since I manually installed Golang 1.15 on my Ubuntu 20.10, the dependencies that go-plus wants to use keep on installing themselves again and again every time I open Atom. To go-plus they look like missing, but after their first install they are present and accessible so they shouldn't be downloaded again and installed again

Output from atom -v && apm -v

Atom    : 1.54.0
Electron: 6.1.12
Chrome  : 76.0.3809.146
Node    : 12.4.0
apm  2.5.2
npm  6.14.8
node 12.4.0 x64
atom 1.54.0
python 
git 2.27.0

I have python 3.8.6 installed on my system, not sure why the apm -v command doesn't work for python

Steps to Reproduce

1. Remove golang from your system: $ sudo apt remove golang
2. Extract the content of the golang 1.15 archive inside /usr/local/go/
3. Append to your ~/.profile the lines:

export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export GOPATH=~/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Expected Behavior

The dependencies should install themselves once

Actual Behavior

The dependencies keep on installing themselves again and again, as if they were missing

Complements

As a complement to the ticket description, here is what I see every time when I open Atom:

Yellow message by: gocode

dial unix /tmp/gocode-daemon.me: connect: no such file or directory

Yellow message by: gometalinter

Installing:
  deadcode
  dupl
  errcheck
  gochecknoglobals
  gochecknoinits
  goconst
  gocyclo
  goimports
  golint
  gosec
  gotype
  gotypex
  ineffassign
  interfacer
  lll
  maligned
  misspell
  nakedret
  safesql
  staticcheck
  structcheck
  unconvert
  unparam
  varcheck

And this installing takes about 2 minutes, does a lot of downloading, the ~/go directory jumps from 486M with all my dependencies for my projects and the dependencies that VS Code is loading, to a huge 933M

And what I see is that every time I open Atom the same downloading and installing happens.

So with that bug present, I can't really afford to use Atom with go-plus anymore, so I've switched to VS Code but I don't like it.

Is there a way to quick fix it on my system?

I am seeing this on my mac on after a fresh install of go from homebrew

I think it's a duplicate of #1020 , the solution worked for me:

Also removed the following line from /home/fray/Desktop/go-plus/lib/package-manager.js:

['golangci-lint', 'github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint'],

There appears to be a fluke in a vendored package used by "golangci-link" linter. It failed to install every time, forcing atom to attemp re-installing on every launch. Pick a different linter in the options, remove the line as I did and it stops trying to re-install everything on launch.

In my case the package-manager.js directory was: ~/.atom/packages/go-plus/lib/
