Sentry Exception names only show "Traceback" instead of actual exception name

I have Sentry set up for a Python application that we’re using internally.

The Sentry exception ticket has the following attributes:

• Name: Traceback (most recent call last):
• Message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/percolate/analytics/pegasus/pegasus/services/aquarius/service.py", line 28, in Query
    resp = builder.build()
  File "/percolate/analytics/pegasus/pegasus/services/aquarius/builder.py", line 235, in build
    q = self.apply_sort(q)
  File "/percolate/analytics/pegasus/pegasus/services/aquarius/builder.py", line 225, in apply_sort
    sorts = [s.apply_sort(self.selects) for s in self.sort]
  File "/percolate/analytics/pegasus/pegasus/services/aquarius/builder.py", line 225, in <listcomp>
    sorts = [s.apply_sort(self.selects) for s in self.sort]
AttributeError: 'NumericField' object has no attribute 'apply_sort'

See the following screen capture:

I see a number of exceptions in the Sentry UI with the same Traceback: ... name instead of the specific exception name. Is there a reason why this is the case?

Here’s the code that triggers these exceptions:

            try:
                query_result = q.execution_options(timeout=PEGASUS_QUERY_TIMEOUT).all()
            except Exception as e:
                if sentry_client:
                    with sentry_client.configure_scope() as scope:
                        compiled_query = q.statement.compile(
                            dialect=postgresql.dialect()
                        )
                        scope.set_extra("query", str(compiled_query))
                        scope.set_extra("params", str(compiled_query.params))
                raise e

It’s not clear if I’m using the Sentry client closing context correctly, or if this is an actual issue within the Sentry SDK. Thank you for your help in advance!

You can change it to log.error("my code failed", exc_info=True) and it should work!

Jinx, you hit the nail on the head. Thank you again. I’ll close this ticket out.
