Description

How to reproduce

package main

import (
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
    g := gin.Default()
    g.GET("/hello/:name", func(c *gin.Context) {
                if true {
        c.AbortWithStatusJSON(200, gin.H{"hello": "world"})
               }
               panic("context should be aborted")
    })
    g.Run(":9000")
}

Expectations

$ curl http://localhost:9000/hello/world

{ "hello": "world" }

Actual result

$ curl -i http://localhost:9000/hello/world
{ "hello": "world" }
// panic chain...

it's under my impression that with a name that incluced Abort that it's aborted in order to do what I need to do then I need to include a return after the c.AbortWithContext()

package main

import (
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
    g := gin.Default()
    g.GET("/hello/:name", func(c *gin.Context) {
                if true {
        c.AbortWithStatusJSON(200, gin.H{"hello": "world"})
        return
               }
               panic("context should be aborted")
    })
    g.Run(":9000")
}

Environment

• go version: 1.21
• gin version (or commit ref): 1.9.1
• operating system: Mac OS M1 Sanoma

In Go, for a function to interrupt its execution from another function, the called function must call os.Exit or panic. Call AbortWithStatusJSON to ensure the remaining handlers for this request are not called.

For example:

package main

import (
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
    g := gin.Default()
    g.GET("/hello/:name", func(c *gin.Context) {
        c.AbortWithStatusJSON(200, gin.H{"hello": "world"})
    }, func(c *gin.Context) {
        panic("context should be aborted")
    })
    g.Run(":9000")
}
