  • Gitea version (or commit ref): 7a72aa6
  • Git version: whatever is on try.gitea.io
  • Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
    • Yes, actually the only place I tried

Description

When trying to delete a repository that doesn't exist, the API returns an undocumented error code (prob 500) and an error message, when it could just as well return a successful response.

Tested via Swagger:

curl -X DELETE "http://try.gitea.io/api/v1/repos/bogdan/doesntexist" -H  "accept: application/json"
Code Details
Undocumented TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

This might also apply to other resources.

After checking again on a local instance it seems 404 is indeed returned, but there's a problem with https://try.gitea.io's Swagger. I get the NetworkError for everything I try.
