False positive: db.Queryx

[pellared]

Version: v0.5.1

Repro steps:

package bug_test

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/jmoiron/sqlx"
)

func Example() {
	db, err := sqlx.Open("pgx", "postgres://localhost/db")
	if err != nil {
		log.Print(err)
		return
	}
	defer db.Close()

	rows, err := db.Queryx("SELECT * FROM users")
	if err != nil {
		log.Print(err)
		return
	}
	defer rows.Close()
}

Result (from golangci-lint):

example_test.go:17:24: Rows/Stmt/NamedStmt was not closed (sqlclosecheck)
        rows, err := db.Queryx("SELECT * FROM users")

Thank you for the report. I will take a look at this over the next few days.

in my project following code worked as a solution:

rows, err := db.Queryx("SELECT * FROM users")
if err != nil {
  log.Print(err)
  return
}
defer func() {
  _ = rows.Close()
}()

also worth mentioning: when I used sql instead of sqlx, there was no error
