Sentry.startTransaction is not a function

See original GitHub issue

Versions + Platform

[ 2.5.1] SDK version - @sentry/electron@v?.?.?
[12.0.2 ] Electron version - electron@v?.?.?
[ Windows] Platform - Windows/macOS/Linux

Description

The initialized Sentry object does not contain a startTransaction method, despite the documentation stating so:

Sentry.startTransaction(
  {
    // `transactionContext` - will be recorded on transaction
    name: 'Search from navbar',
    op: 'search',
    tags: {
      testGroup: 'A3',
      treatmentName: 'eager load',
    },
  },
  // `customSamplingContext` - won't be recorded
  {
    // PII
    userId: '12312012',
    // too big to send
    resultsFromLastSearch: { ... }
  },
);

I am attempting the call (not the one above, merely passing a name) in the main process.

I then attempted to use the node sdk, as I see it is wrapped by the electron sdk, but that caused issues and I believe I’d have to manage each sdk’s hub.

My end goal is to add performance instrumentation to an electron application.

@timfish double checked on a fresh repo and all seems to be well regarding types, sorry for the inaccurate report!

The React SDK is just a thin wrapper around the Browser SDK. The Electron SDK is just a wrapper around the Browser/Node SDKs.
