The function scoped err variable is uninitialized when the flow jumps into the if statement. The if scoped err variable shadows the function scoped err variable, preventing the err assignments within the if statement to be reflected at the function level, which will cause uninitialized use when the goto statements are taken. Just remove the if scoped err declaration so that there is only one copy of the err variable for this function.
