[Stack Trace Links] No Explanation Given Regarding Source Context #6295
Description
Core or SDK?
Core Sentry product
Which part? Which one?
Description
Stack trace linking requires the following:
- line number
- filename with path
- properly configured code mapping
- source context
Some SDKs report line number, column and file name in a way that would suggest stack trace linking should work. Even with properly configured code mapping.
However we don't mention source context, how to determine if it exists for an issue, and why it's important for stack trace linking any where in our docs.
Suggested Solution
Add troubleshooting this page, or the SCMS guide pages that support stack trace linking - that explains the signifcance of source context.
Example SDK generated events where this question comes up:
- java
- Go (when source bundles are not included with the deployed binary)
- C#
Edit:
From our docs we explicitly don't support C# or Java only the following languages:
Ruby, Python, Php, Node, JavaScript, Go and Elixir
This was explained internally as both a problem with how stack traces for the above languages can lack "path" information (Java, C#) but also source context (Go when running without source bundles).
