Plugin for Vite ⚡️ to create releases and upload sourcemaps to Sentry

This plugin hooks into the Vite build step, to create a new release and upload source maps. It does not instrument error reporting in your app.

It's a port of official Sentry webpack plugin for Vite.

It's fully written on Typescript and there is some differences in configuration, described below, but we mostly follow @sentry/cli types.

Install

yarn add -D vite-plugin-sentry

Configuration

If you using Typescript - you can use ViteSentryPluginOptions type for better configuration experience with autocomplete.

Example config:

// vite.config.ts
// other declarations
import type { ViteSentryPluginOptions } from 'vite-plugin-sentry'
import viteSentry from 'vite-plugin-sentry'

/*
  Configure sentry plugin
*/
const sentryConfig: ViteSentryPluginOptions = {
  url: 'https://sentry.io',
  authToken: '<SECRET_TOKEN_HERE>',
  org: 'my_org',
  project: 'my_project',
  release: '1.0',
  // legacyErrorHandlingMode: true, <- warn about sentry errors instead of fail
  deploy: {
    env: 'production'
  },
  setCommits: {
    auto: true
  },
  sourceMaps: {
    include: ['./dist/assets'],
    ignore: ['node_modules'],
    urlPrefix: '~/assets'
  }
}

export default defineConfig({
  // other options
  plugins: [ viteSentry(sentryConfig) ],
  build: {
    // required: tells vite to create source maps
    sourcemap: true,
  }
})

Possible breaking change!

From version 1.2.0 we have changed default error handling. Now if Sentry report error while uploading sourcemaps - we crash whole build process instead of just print warning. This was done to prevent calling next to && operator on uploading error.

You can enable legacy mode using legacyErrorHandlingMode: true in plugin config.

Wiki

Check project wiki on github to get more information.

Share config with Sentry client library

To correctly work with Sentry, you need to add a release to your project. Same about dist option: your uploaded sourcemaps and client sentry initialization must have same release/dist to make sentry correct recognize and bind sourcemaps to logged errors.

You can expose release and dist options used by vite-plugin-sentry into your application using Vite feature known as virtual module.

To do so, you need to add several lines:

// import virtual module
// i would recommend doing it at entry point script (e.g. main.js)
import 'virtual:vite-plugin-sentry/sentry-config'

// now you can use this variable like so
const dist = import.meta.env.VITE_PLUGIN_SENTRY_CONFIG.dist
const release = import.meta.env.VITE_PLUGIN_SENTRY_CONFIG.release

// use it in sentry init
Sentry.init({
  // other sentry options
  dist,
  release
})

// also, these settings exposed to globalThis object
// so you can get them from window object:
const dist = window.VITE_PLUGIN_SENTRY_CONFIG.dist
const release = window.VITE_PLUGIN_SENTRY_CONFIG.release

TypeScript

To get type information for the virtual module or import meta env, you can add vite-plugin-sentry/client to your types array in tsconfig.json.

{
  "types": [
    "vite-plugin-sentry/client"
  ]
}

Also you can use reference in your typescript code like below:

///<reference types="vite-plugin-sentry/client"/>

Common how to:

Delete generated source maps after upload (#1)

There are no built-in options to clean sourcemaps.

While i recommend to use CI, you can also use tools like rimraf in your npm scripts to drop any unnecessary files after build was complete:

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    // delete all js map files when built
    "build": "vite build && rimraf dist/**/*.js.map"
  }
}

Cannot install on Windows

This plugin relies on @sentry/cli tool, which requires VCRedist to be installed. Please check #8 for details.

List of available options

Here are the list of all plugin options:

Legend:

❌ - NOT required

⚠️ - NOT required in plugin config, but MUST be set (for example, using .sentryclirc file)

✅ - Required

Option	Type	Required	Default value	Description
legacyErrorHandlingMode	boolean	❌	false	When true - all sentry uploading errors will be printed as warnings, build process will not be failed, vite will return exit code 0
debug	boolean	❌	false	Show debug messages during run
skipEnvironmentCheck	boolean	❌	false	By default plugin will be enabled only for production builds. Set this option to true to skip environment checks
dryRun	boolean	❌	false	Run sentry in dry mode - will only prints all steps
url	string	❌	'https://sentry.io/'	The base URL of your Sentry instance.
authToken	string	⚠️	''	The authentication token to use for all communication with Sentry. Can be obtained from https://sentry.io/settings/account/api/auth-tokens/. Required scopes:project:releases (and org:read if setCommits option is used).
org	string	⚠️	''	The slug of the Sentry organization associated with the app.
project	string	⚠️	''	The slug of the Sentry project associated with the app.
vcsRemote	string	❌	'origin'	The name of the remote in the version control system.
configFile	string	❌	''	Path to sentry cli config file, as described in https://docs.sentry.io/product/cli/configuration/#configuration-file. By default, the config file is looked for upwards from the current path, and defaults from ~/.sentryclirc are always loaded
release	string	❌		Unique name for release. Defaults to sentry-cli releases propose version (requires access to GIT and root directory to be repo)
finalize	boolean	❌	false	Determines whether processed release should be automatically finalized after artifacts upload
silent	boolean	❌	false	If true, all sentry-cli logs are suppressed
deploy	SentryCliNewDeployOptions	❌		Sentry release deployment settings, see details below
sourceMaps	SentryCliUploadSourceMapsOptions	✅		Sourcemaps settings, see details below
setCommits	SentryCliCommitsOptions	❌		Adds commits to sentry, see details below

deploy settings

With deploy you can configure sentry cli to send deployment info. Here is a table of settings:

Option	Type	Required	Description
env	string	✅	Environment value for release. For example production
started	number	❌	UNIX timestamp for deployment start
finished	number	❌	UNIX timestamp for deployment finish
time	number	❌	Deployment duration in seconds. Can be used instead of started and finished.
name	string	❌	Human-readable name for this deployment
url	string	❌	URL that points to the deployment

sourceMaps settings

With sourceMaps you can configure how sourcemaps will be processed

Option	Type	Required	Description
include	string| string[]	✅	One or more paths that Sentry CLI should scan recursively for sources. It will upload all .map files and match associated .js files.
dist	string	❌	Unique identifier for the distribution, used to further segment your release. Usually your build number
ignore	string[]	❌	Paths to ignore during upload. Overrides entries in ignoreFile file. If neither ignoreFile nor ignore is present, defaults to ['node_modules'].
ignoreFile	string	❌	Path to a file containing list of files/directories to ignore. Can point to .gitignore or anything with the same format.
rewrite	boolean	❌	Enables rewriting of matching source maps so that indexed maps are flattened and missing sources are inlined if possible. Defaults to true
sourceMapReference	boolean	❌	Prevents the automatic detection of sourcemap references. Defaults to false.
stripPrefix	string[]	❌	When paired with rewrite, will remove a prefix from uploaded filenames. Useful for removing a path that is build-machine-specific.
stripCommonPrefix	boolean	❌	When paired with rewrite, will add ~ to the stripPrefix array. Defaults to false
validate	boolean	❌	When true, attempts source map validation before upload if rewriting is not enabled. It will spot a variety of issues with source maps and cancel the upload if any are found. Defaults to false to prevent false positives canceling upload.
urlPrefix	string	❌	URL prefix to add to the beginning of all filenames. Defaults to ~/ but you might want to set this to the full URL. This is also useful if your files are stored in a sub folder. eg: url-prefix '~/static/js'.
urlSuffix	string	❌	URL suffix to add to the end of all filenames. Useful for appending query parameters.
ext	string[]	❌	The file extensions to be considered. By default the following file extensions are processed:js, map, jsbundle, and bundle.

setCommits settings

previousCommit	string	❌	The last commit of the previous release. Defaults to the most recent commit of the previous release in Sentry, or if no previous release is found, 10 commits back from commit.
auto	boolean	❌	Automatically set commit and previousCommit. Defaults commit to HEAD and previousCommit as described above. Overrides other options
ignoreMissing	boolean	❌	When the flag is set and the previous release commit was not found in the repository, will create a release with the default commits count(or the one specified with --initial-depth) instead of failing the command.
ignoreEmpty	boolean	❌	When the flag is set, command will not fail and just exit silently if no new commits for a given release have been found.

Tests

At the moment we got unit tests for plugin functions. You can run them by running yarn test

Also there will appear e2e tests soon.
