Scope passed on `captureException` is not consistent on sentry dashboard

Description

I am capturing some errors and I try to add the scope like so:

function captureError({ severity = Severity.Error, error, failScope, extras }: CaptureErrorArgs) {
  withScope(function (scope) {
    scope.setTag('fail-scope', failScope);
    scope.setLevel(severity);
    extras && scope.setExtras(extras);
    captureException(error);
  });
}

Problem is that the errors on sentry dashboard have the scope sometimes and sometimes they dont.

I have tried all the different ways to pass the scope in the capture exception but none seems to work. Any help?

Problem is that the errors on sentry dashboard have the scope sometimes and sometimes they dont.

Could you provide links to errors that you expect to have a scope but don't have the scope? If you can't provide a link, a JSON of the event will also work:

Hey thanks for the quick response.

Check those out

• one
• two
• three
• four

I would expect all of those to be of severity warning. And I believe the majority of the has ben set with a fail-scope but only few of them are reposting this on the dashboard.

I can populate more results if you wanted. Also extras are never there but these examples might not have any attached to it

More of the same here.

Is this helping @AbhiPrasad ?

here is how my code looks. I call this function on the onError callback of the withErrorBoundary.

// the export of my react component 
export default withErrorBoundary(Main, {
  fallback: function ErrorFallback() {
    return <ErrorCard error="unexpected" />;
  },
  onError: function handler(error, componentStack) {
    return captureError({
      error,
      severity: Severity.Error,
      failScope: FailScope.Page,
      extras: {
        componentStack,
        originComponent: Main.name,
      },
    });
  },
});

// the capture error function that is called on the onError
export function captureError({
  severity = Severity.Error,
  error,
  failScope,
  extras,
}: CaptureErrorArgs) {
  captureException(error, scope => {
    scope.setTag('fail-scope', failScope);
    scope.setLevel(severity);
    if (extras) {
      scope.setExtras(extras);
    }
    return scope;
  });
}

And here is what I see on the json

@AbhiPrasad did you have the chance to take a look on this one perhaps?

[lewnelson]

I'm also experiencing this, only with captureException, it appears the CaptureContext is ignored completely. Neither the tags, extras or context is sent on the network request.

I'm having to use captureMessage instead, but I then lose the stacktrace from the original exception.

I am trying to follow the example in the docs for local scopes. I notice the scope isn't explicitly passed as an argument to captureException. However the interface allows for a captureContext argument to be passed. I've tried both ways, but not working for me.

@paschalidi I've just discovered that React components that have the lifecycle method componentDidCatch will rethrow the error when React is running in development mode. This note is in the Sentry React documentation.

In my instance I was able to debug to the point where I can see that captureException was being called twice within the @sentry/browser library. The first call did not have the scope, but the second call did. The first call I presume is from React rethrowing the error. The @sentry/browser library ensures duplicate exceptions aren't sent over the network which is why in the dashboard it appears to have not sent the scope.

I'm hoping that once React is running in production mode this will be a non-issue, but will keep an eye on it.

[paschalidi]

yep actually what you are saying makes sense!

I see the exact same, captureMessage works as expected, but captureException does not log scope. Production mode does not fix anything for me.

Please let us know if anyone finds a resolution to this issue. I have tried everything I can come up with.

[github-actions]

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!
