Stop goroutine execution on timeout

Question

I want to stop goroutine execution on timeout. But it seems like it is not working for me. I am using iris framework.

  type Response struct {

You have a gouroutine leaks, you must handle some done action to return the goroutine before timeout like this:

func (s *CicService) Find() (interface{}, bool) {

    ch := make(chan Response, 1)
    done := make(chan struct{})
    go func() {
        select {
        case <-time.After(10 * time.Second):
        case <-done:
            return
        }
        fmt.Println("test")
        fmt.Println("test1")
        ch <- Response{data: "data", status: true}
    }()
    select {
    case res := <-ch:
        return res.data, res.status
    case <-time.After(50 * time.Millisecond):
        done <- struct{}{}
        return "Timed out", false
    }

}
