I cant rollback inside a transaction

const client = await pool.connect()
try {
  await client.query('begin')
  (...)
  if (condition) {
    await client.query('rollback') //does not work
  }
  (...) //queries here are still being committed
  await client.query('commit')
}
catch (e) {
  await client.query('rollback')
}
finally {
  client.release()
}

How do I force rollback inside a transaction if a condition matches?

ROLLBACK ends your transaction. Statements continue to work after a transaction like they do before a transaction. COMMIT does nothing outside of a transaction (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-commit.html#id-1.9.3.53.7), but even if it were an error, the queries before it would take effect.

@gustavopiucco, you need to return to halt execution, or add an else to the if statement
