Steps to Reproduce

I have a small class that wraps sentry for capturing messages and exceptions. As shown below, for some reason, context does not get reliably sent.

public reportMessage(
    message: string,
    options?: { context?: Context; tags?: Tags }
  ) {
    Sentry.withScope((scope) => {
      if (options?.context) {
        scope.setContext("context", this._stringifyContext(options.context))
      }

      if (options?.tags) {
        scope.setTags(options.tags);
      }

      Sentry.captureMessage(message);
    });
  }

Below are two examples where it works every time. And I do not understand why.

If I do anything extra like this console log:

Sentry.withScope((scope) => {
      if (options?.context) {
        console.log("literally anything")
        scope.setContext("context", this._stringifyContext(options.context));
      }

      if (options?.tags) {
        scope.setTags(options.tags);
      }

      Sentry.captureMessage(message);
    });

Or even just setting context to a new variable first like this:

Sentry.withScope((scope) => {
     if (options?.context) {
       const context = this._stringifyContext(options.context);
       scope.setContext("context", context);
     }

     if (options?.tags) {
       scope.setTags(options.tags);
     }

     Sentry.captureMessage(message);
   });

Is this a bug with 7.0? This didn’t happen before I upgraded.

Expected Result

Custom context should show up on issue in Sentry.io console

Actual Result

Custom context does not show up in Sentry.io console

This should be fixed by 7.2.0: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases/tag/7.2.0

Good catch! We’ll be fixing this ASAP and cutting a release very soon.
