Sentry.io for NativeScript
NativeScript plugin that uses sentry-android and sentry-cocoa to catch native errors/stack traces and send them to a sentry server.
:seven: – This is the documentation of v2 which is compatible with NativeScript 7
:construction: – Currently in alpha state, use with caution!
:six: – If you are using NativeScript 6, use a v1 release.
Installation
ns plugin add nativescript-sentry
Configuration
Android
Add the following line to your AndroidManifest.xml
within the <application>-tag
:
<meta-data android:name="io.sentry.dsn" android:value="__YOUR_DSN_HERE__" />
Without Angular
import { Sentry } from 'nativescript-sentry';
const dsn = 'https://<key>:<secret>@host/<project>';
Sentry.init(dsn);
With Angular
import { SentryModule } from 'nativescript-sentry/angular';
NgModule({
imports: [
SentryModule.forRoot({
dsn: 'https://<key>:<secret>@host/<project>',
discardUncaughtJsExceptions: true
})
]
});
Note: this plugin adds a custom ErrorHandler to your angular app
Usage
Capture an exception
Sentry.captureException(exeption: Error, options?: ExceptionOptions);
export interface ExceptionOptions {
tags?: object;
extra?: object;
}
Example:
try {
throw new Error('Whoops!');
} catch (error) {
Sentry.captureException(error, {});
}
Capture a message
Sentry.captureMessage(message: string, options?: MessageOptions)
export interface MessageOptions {
level?: Level;
tags?: object;
extra?: object;
}
export enum Level {
Fatal = 'fatal',
Error = 'error',
Warning = 'warning',
Info = 'info',
Debug = 'debug'
}
Capture navigation breadcrumb
Sentry.captureBreadcrumb(breadcrumb: BreadCrumb)
export interface BreadCrumb {
message: string;
category: string;
level: Level;
}
Set user
Sentry.setContextUser(user: SentryUser)
export interface SentryUser {
id: string;
email?: string;
username?: string;
}
Set tags
Sentry.setContextTags(tags: object)
Sentry.setContextExtra(extra: object)
Sentry.clearContext();
Troubleshooting and important remarks
Native Exceptions / Crashes
If you have a native exception and the app exits, the plugin will save the log and send it in the next app startup, this is how the native plugins are implemented and it is expected behavior.
Android SLF4J Log Error
Sentry has an optional dependency on SLF4J on Android, which when not present will log an error about it not being in the application.
System.err: SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
System.err: SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
System.err: SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.
To get rid of this log warning you can add a dependency to your app's app.gradle file located in App_Resources/Android/app.gradle
to include:
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-nop:1.7.25'
in the dependencies. See the demo app.
Demo Apps
To run and test the demo apps you need to replace the placeholder __YOUR_DSN_HERE__
by your own DSN in the following files:
- demo/App_Resources/Android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
- demo/app/app.ts
- demo-ng/App_Resources/Android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
- demo-ng/src/app.module.ts
