Issue with Chapter03 dial_context_test.go

Hey Walter, not the author but I'm working through this book now and I think you may have just copied the code incorrectly? The book and the repo has the following (unless there has been an update since you came across this):

if err == nil {
	conn.Close()
	t.Fatal("connection did not time out")
}

But you have:

if err != nil {
    if conn != nil {
	    conn.Close()
    }
    t.Fatal("connection did not time out")
}

In this example, I believe the connection should be timing out since the deadline is set to 5, but we call time.Sleep() for 5.001 seconds. Hope this helps 🙂
