Description

When deploying an electron-app which calls Sentry.init() on a RPi, the app seems to stop right at the line the init ist called. The only log that is printed is:

chrome_crashpad_handler: --database is required
Try 'chrome_crashpad_handler --help' for more information.
[9860:1125/163121.082983:ERROR:socket.cc(120)] recvmsg: Connection reset by peer (104)

Sentry.init(SentryConfig);

is the first line in the code, if I remove it, the app starts up fine.

My electron app is super simple, so I wouldn’t take it for granted. Only fs operation I did before is reading a config file, which worked.

Would be still nice to have any output or clue what’s wrong.

Oh sorry, I completely missed that in the description. It looks like this error is coming directly from Electron and no doubt due to the permissions.

I just double checked our file read/write code and everything is wrapped in try/catch so it shouldn’t cause any issues.

This can safely be closed!
