Steps to Reproduce

Given that we’re using NX for our service, we cannot use the wizard to automatically configure our application, so we followed the manual steps and created all of the files within our application folder, apps/app (not the root of the repository).

Which means that is / is the root of the repository, we now have the following files in the following paths:

• apps/app/sentry.client.config.js
• apps/app/sentry.server.config.js
• apps/app/.sentryclirc
• apps/app/sentry.properties

We also:

• Modified the next.config.js to add the withSentryConfig with extra values for Sentry (or the webpack plugin).
• Added the custom _error page.

We’ve added a console.log to both sentry.client.config.js and sentry.server.config.js to see if they’re being called (trying to diagnose the symptom).

We’ve executed nx serve app from the root of the project.

Expected Result

• We can see the console.log appear in the console of the client/server (confirming that Sentry.init has been executed).
• When performing an action that throws an error we expect it to see it reported in Sentry.

Actual Result

• No log appears
• No message from Sentry appears
• No error is reported

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone … forever!
