Reproduction Example/SDK Setup
We have been getting this error in production when Sentry is initially configured:
I believe this is because of this method checking the browser can use fetch:
| new Request('http://www.example.com'); |
This has caused 1.1m errors in the last few weeks & I would like to understand if there's a reason this needs to be the http endpoint? The only issue I found somewhat related to this is about e2e tests in #15052
I have a draft PR here: #18217
Steps to Reproduce
This is my sentry.js
// @flow import * as Sentry from "@sentry/browser" const enabledEnvironments = ["development", "staging", "production"] const isEnabled = enabledEnvironments.includes(process.env.TARGET_RAILS_ENV) const commitSha = process.env.COMMIT_SHA || "unknown" const payausUrls = [/https?:\/\/.*\.tanda\.co/, /https?:\/\/.*\.workforce\.com/] if (isEnabled) { Sentry.init({ dsn: "our_dsn", release: `${commitSha}`, environment: process.env.TARGET_RAILS_ENV, allowUrls: payausUrls, // This is error sampling: // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/configuration/options/#sample-rate sampleRate: 1, // No perf sampling from frontend. // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/configuration/options/#tracing-options enableTracing: true, tracesSampleRate: 0, tracePropagationTargets: payausUrls, ignoreErrors: [ "__gCrWeb.autofill.extractForms", "Background Sync is disabled", "Request failed with status code", "__firefox__", /maininit|\$/, "_isMatchingDomain is not defined", "Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'Window':", "AbortError", "createError", "node_modules", "AxiosError", // Added but unsure it would even mute the error if it's happening during `init` ], denyUrls: ["js.intercomcdn.com"], beforeSend(event) { if (event.user) { delete event.user.username delete event.user.email } return event }, }) window.current_user && Sentry.setUser({ id: window.current_user.id }) const euUrl = /^https?:\/\/.*.?eu\.(workforce|tanda)/ const region = window.location.href.match(euUrl) ? "frankfurt" : "sydney" Sentry.setTag("region", region) }
Expected Result
No error
Actual Result
Errors every time Sentry is initialised
