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

You should run go mod tidy

[ocofaigh]

@ldez I already ran go mod tidy - it does not resolve the issue.
Here is the branch: https://github.com/terraform-ibm-modules/terraform-ibm-external-secrets-operator/tree/renovate/ci-dependencies/tests

[ocofaigh]

Ah as part of that branch I'm also updating go dependencies. If I take that change out, and just update the linter version to the latest, it works. So it must be related to one of the go dependency updates, as opposed to linter.
