Using sentry-electron with contextIsolation, preload.js, and nodeIntegration off

Hi there!

I’m trying to get errors from renderer.js, where I can’t require/import anything because I have nodeIntegration turned off for security reasons.

I looked at your sample app, but even initializing sentry in the preload.js, I’m still not able to get exceptions from renderer.js. I test this by trying to run a non-existent function in renderer.js, similar to the example you have in the docs.

This is probably a noob-level misunderstanding, but I can’t figure out what I’m supposed to do here, despite reading through a number of issues like this one.

I’m happy to share code, but I’d love an example of exactly what I need to put in renderer.js, preload.js, and main.js/index.js to make this work.

Thank you for making sentry-electron!

With 3.0.0-beta.1, here is an example in the integration test examples: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-electron/tree/master/examples/webpack-context-isolation

If you can wait a few days 3.0.0-beta.2 should remove the need for a preload unless you’re bundling the main process code and using Electron < v5: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-electron/pull/377

Yes. Unless you bundle your renderer code, you will not be able to use any dependencies in the renderer process with nodeIntegration: false.
