golang replace fasthttp to gin with slice bounds out of range runtime error

Question

looking into a httpserver and see if it is possible to change from fasthttp to gin but stuck and having a runtime error during routing from middleware. I am trying to keep the code similar to each other if possible.

main.go

func main() {
    ...
    route.InitRouters()
    /*
    s := &fasthttp.Server{Handler: middleware.Handler} // fasthttp
    s.ListenAndServe(":8081")
    */
    router := gin.New()                                // gin
    router.Use(middleware.Handler)
    router.Run("localhost:8180")
    ...
}

route.go

var router1 *gin.Engine            // fasthttp: *fasthttprouter.Router
var router2 *gin.Engine
func InitRouters() {
    router1 = gin.New()            // fasthttp: fasthttprouter.New()
    ...
    router2 = gin.New()
    ...
}
func GetRouter1() *gin.Engine { // fasthttp: *fasthttprouter.Router
    return router1              // runtime error
}
func GetRouter2() *gin.Engine {
    return router2              // runtime error
}
...

middleware.go

...
func Handler(ctx *gin.Context) {   // fasthttp: ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx
    if ... {
        route.GetRouter1().HandleContext(cts) // fasthttp: route.GetRouter1().Handler(ctx)
    } else {
        route.GetRouter2().HandleContext(ctx)
    }
}

The runtime error occurred in route.go at return router1 or return router2.

runtime error: slice bounds out of range [:1] with capacity 0
...
go/pkg/mod/github.com/gin-gonic/[email protected]/context.go:165 (0xc4eaca)
        (*Context).Next: c.handlers[c.index](c)
go/pkg/mod/github.com/gin-gonic/[email protected]/recovery.go:99 (0xc62bcc)
        CustomRecoveryWithWriter.func1: c.Next()

go/pkg/mod/github.com/gin-gonic/[email protected]/gin.go:525 (0xc59777)
        serveError: c.Next()
...

I suspect the router in main.go cannot route ctx to router1 or router2 via middleware. Do I need to use &http.Server instead of &fasthttp.Server with a ServeHttp middleware handler? How would this normally be done in Gin ways?

Answer 1

Use a single engine with groups:

 router = gin.New()           
 group1:=router.Group("/path1")
 group2:=router.Group("/path2")

Then configure both groups separately.
