`.Ignore()` not ignoring transaction (go-agent + nrgin)

[gwkline]

Description

Hi there! I have a transaction I've been trying to ignore/not see in my NewRelic dashboard. It's a GraphQL subscription (websocket) and for some reason, calling the go-agent .Ignore() method does not seem to be properly ignoring this request.

I am using Gin, so nrgin is initialized in my API's main function. I am using all default options (to the best of my knowledge)

The .Ignore() call is happening in my GraphQL endpoint handler. I know the middleware is all working (as I can see transaction names and variables for my other requests), but Ignore() is... being ignored 😅

Expected Behavior

Calling .Ignore() should not show the transaction at all in the NewRelic dash.

Your Environment

~Ended up having to ignore the transaction in the websocket upgrader as well - seems to be working fine. Apologies!~

Edit: nevermind, still not being ignored it would seem

I'll try to verify the functionality of the ignore method on our end and get back to you.

Hi @gwkline, I think that if you enabled debug logs, there might be something in there that will help you or us get closer to a why this is happening. We actually log when transactions are marked ignored, and it would be helpful to just have that verification.

    if txn.Config.Logger.DebugEnabled() {
        txn.Config.Logger.Debug("transaction ended", map[string]interface{}{
            "name":          txn.FinalName,
            "duration_ms":   txn.Duration.Seconds() * 1000.0,
            "ignored":       txn.ignore,
            "app_connected": txn.Reply.RunID != "",
        })
    }

you may not want to post debug logs here, so I would recommend opening a support ticket with New Relic if you have access to that.

just wrote out this test case, I suspect that this behavior may be more on your end than ours, but please feel free to correct me: https://github.com/newrelic/go-agent/pull/865/files

@gwkline may I close this?
