golines breaks lines with //nolint

[guettli]

Original line:

	deviceID, err := strconv.ParseInt(strings.TrimPrefix(node.Spec.ProviderID, providerPrefix), 10, 32) //nolint:revive // https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/10mi0el/strconvparseintmyid_10_32_avoid_magic_numbers/

after running golines:

	deviceID, err := strconv.ParseInt(
		strings.TrimPrefix(node.Spec.ProviderID, providerPrefix),
		10,
		32,
	) //nolint:revive // https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/10mi0el/strconvparseintmyid_10_32_avoid_magic_numbers/

I like the output of golines.

But now I get warnings from the linter:

foo/bar.go:55:3: add-constant: avoid magic numbers like '10', create a named constant for it (revive)
10,
^
foo/bar.go:56:3: add-constant: avoid magic numbers like '32', create a named constant for it (revive)
32,

I think it would be great if golines would skip lines containing "//nolint" by default.

What do you think?

[telemachus]

I can see an argument for skipping lines that contain //nolint special comments. That is, I can imagine cases where just a //nolint comment causes an undesired break. I'm not sure whether I think the change is justified or not, but it's worth considering.

But in this case, I think there's a much simpler fix than patching golines: you can simply remove the (very long) second comment with the Reddit URL. That would probably leave you with a line short enough that golines would ignore it.

@telemachus is there already a way to configure golines, so that lines containing a special string get ignored?

If not, would you accept a patch?

I don't think so.

I'm not the maintainer, but I can say that a similar request is labelled as an enhancement. That suggests to me that a patch would at least be considered, but I can't be sure.
