I am trying to add validation for the go based web application based on GIN framework. On the web page I am selecting a file and submitting and the server is processing it. On the server side I am try to add validation to check if the file has been given or not. If not then redirect back to original page.
func panic(err error) {
if err != nil {
log.Println(err)
}
}
func displayTable (c *gin.Context) {
file, _ , err := c.Request.FormFile("file")
panic(err)
if file == nil {
log.Println("File is nil.")
log.Println(err)
log.Println("*****")
c.HTML(http.StatusInternalServerError, "index.tmpl", gin.H{
"title": "Select the input file","error" : "Please select the input file.",
})
} else {
defer file.Close()
}
filename := strconv.FormatInt(time.Now().Unix(),10)
out, err := os.Create("./tmp/"+filename+".xml")
panic(err)
defer out.Close()
_, err = io.Copy(out, file)
panic(err)
xmlFile, err := os.Open("./tmp/"+filename+".xml")
panic(err)
defer xmlFile.Close()
// Other Implementation Details
}
Even after providing the handling I am getting a panic in the go code. Please let me know what in the implementation am I missing.
Thanks.
http: no such file
File is nil.
http: no such file
