Description

I updated from 0.17.0 to 1.5.1, and I now see this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getAppPath' of undefined
    at eval (webpack-internal:///./app/node_modules/@sentry/electron/esm/main/normalize.js:8)

I found a couple of issues (https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-electron/issues/92, https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-electron/issues/142) that reference this error, though they seem to be focused on different errors. I tried the deep import mentioned here, to no avail.

This was working with no issues previously, and the only change I made was to update to 1.5.1. I didn’t see any breaking changes that suggest a problem in this area.

Yep, this will be the cause. You’re telling webpack that your renderer is a node process and this means it’ll look at the main field in package.json which points at the code for the Electron main process.

In the renderer you’re going to have to import the esm build manually. I’ve not actually tried this myself, but It’ll be something like this:

import { init } from '@sentry/electron/esm/renderer'

init({})

Link fixed.

I’ve opened a new issue for errors missing from the preload context: #372
