linters-settings config not applying

[geoff-maddock]

New to this project, which seems super useful, but running into an issue and I sort of suspect it's not a bug, but a new user issue.

I've got a .golangci.yaml config in my project, and am running the linter using the docker command with version 1.50.1:

docker run -t --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app golangci/golangci-lint:v1.50.1 golangci-lint run -v

The section that disables or enables linters works fine. But the linters-settings section does nothing - no settings for any linters apply, at least not that I can tell. Any suggestions on debugging or troubleshooting? Am I missing a flag to allow those settings to apply?

linters:
    # disable-all: true
    # Uncomment to enable all linters
    # enable-all: true
    # disabling linters that are abandoned or replaced with better versions
    disable:
        - golint
        - deadcode
        - exhaustivestruct
        - ifshort
        - interfacer
        - maligned
        - nosnakecase 
        - scopelint
        - structcheck
        - varcheck
    # additional non-default linters that we want to use
    enable:
        - gochecknoglobals
        - gocritic
        - goconst
        - godox
        - goerr113
        - gofmt
        - gosec
        - misspell
        - revive
        - funlen
        - ireturn
        # - lll
        - nonamedreturns
        - varnamelen
    # settings for specific linters - these don't appear to be applied
    linters-settings:
        revive:
            enable-all-rules: false
            severity: warning
            rules:
                - name: var-naming
                  disabled: true
                - name: exported
                  disabled: true
                - name: receiver-naming
                  disabled: true
        varnamelen:
          ignore-decls:
            - i int

Hello,

YAML is based on indentation, the section linters-settings must be at the first level.
