Following is the sample code the output would say a lot here. I tried debugging this myself but unable to find why the behavior is such.

func main() {
	err := DBErr()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Main err was not nil %T %v\n", err, err)
	} else {
		fmt.Println("Main", "err was nil")
	}
}

func DBErr() error {
	e := errors.Wrap(nil, 1)
	fmt.Println("DBErr() err is nil", e == nil)
	return e
}

Output:

DBErr() err is nil true
Main err was not nil *errors.Error <nil>
