These docs walk through how to migrate our JavaScript SDKs through different major versions.
- Upgrading from SDK 4.x to 5.x/6.x
- Upgrading from SDK 6.x to 7.x
- Upgrading from SDK 7.x to 8.x
- Upgrading from SDK 8.x to 9.x
Version 9 of the Sentry JavaScript SDK primarily introduces API cleanup and version support changes. This update contains behavioral changes that will not be caught by type checkers, linters, or tests, so we recommend carefully reading through the entire migration guide instead of relying on automatic tooling.
Version 9 of the SDK is compatible with Sentry self-hosted versions 24.4.2 or higher (unchanged from v8). Lower versions may continue to work, but may not support all features.
Version 9 of the Sentry SDK has new compatibility ranges for runtimes and frameworks.
ECMAScript Version: All the JavaScript code in the Sentry SDK packages may now contain ECMAScript 2020 features.
This includes features like Nullish Coalescing (??), Optional Chaining (?.), String.matchAll(), Logical Assignment Operators (&&=, ||=, ??=), and Promise.allSettled().
If you observe failures due to syntax or features listed above, it may indicate that your current runtime does not support ES2020. If your runtime does not support ES2020, we recommend transpiling the SDK using Babel or similar tooling.
Node.js: The minimum supported Node.js version is 18.0.0 (Released Apr 19, 2022), except for ESM-only SDKs (@sentry/astro, @sentry/nuxt, @sentry/sveltekit) which require Node.js version 18.19.1 (Released Feb 14, 2024) or higher.
Browsers: Due to SDK code now including ES2020 features, the minimum supported browser list now looks as follows:
- Chrome 80 (Released Feb 5, 2020)
- Edge 80 (Released Feb 7, 2020)
- Safari 14, iOS Safari 14.4 (Released Sep 16, 2020)
- Firefox 74 (Released Mar 10, 2020)
- Opera 67 (Released Mar 12, 2020)
- Samsung Internet 13.0 (Released Nov 20, 2020)
If you need to support older browsers, we recommend transpiling your code using SWC, Babel or similar tooling.
Deno: The minimum supported Deno version is now 2.0.0.
Support for the following frameworks and library versions are dropped:
- Remix: Version
1.x - TanStack Router: Version
1.63.0and lower (relevant when usingtanstackRouterBrowserTracingIntegration) - SvelteKit: Version
1.x - Ember.js: Version
3.xand lower (minimum supported version is4.x) - Prisma: Version
5.x
In preparation for v2 of the OpenTelemetry SDK, the minimum required TypeScript version is increased to version 5.0.4.
Additionally, like the OpenTelemetry SDK, the Sentry JavaScript SDK will follow DefinitelyType's version support policy which has a support time frame of 2 years for any released version of TypeScript.
Older TypeScript versions may continue to be compatible, but no guarantees apply.
A new AWS Lambda Layer for version 9 will be published as SentryNodeServerlessSDKv9.
The ARN will be published in the Sentry docs once available.
The previous SentryNodeServerlessSDK layer will not receive new updates anymore.
Updates and fixes for version 8 will be published as SentryNodeServerlessSDKv8.
The ARN will be published in the Sentry docs once available.
-
Dropping spans in the
beforeSendSpanhook is no longer possible. This means you can no longer returnnullfrom thebeforeSendSpanhook. This hook is intended to be used to add additional data to spans or remove unwanted attributes (for example for PII stripping). To control which spans are recorded, we recommend configuring integrations instead. -
The
beforeSendSpanhook now receives the root span as well as the child spans. We recommend checking yourbeforeSendSpanto account for this change. -
The
requestproperty on thesamplingContextargument passed to thetracesSamplerandprofilesSampleroptions has been removed.samplingContext.normalizedRequestcan be used instead. Note that the type ofnormalizedRequestdiffers fromrequest. -
The
startSpanbehavior was changed if you pass a customscope: While in v8, the passed scope was set active directly on the passed scope, in v9, the scope is cloned. This behavior change does not apply to@sentry/nodewhere the scope was already cloned. This change was made to ensure that the span only remains active within the callback and to align behavior between@sentry/nodeand all other SDKs. As a result of the change, span hierarchy should be more accurate. However, modifying the scope (for example, setting tags) within thestartSpancallback behaves a bit differently now.startSpan({ name: 'example', scope: customScope }, () => { getCurrentScope().setTag('tag-a', 'a'); // this tag will only remain within the callback // set the tag directly on customScope in addition, if you want to to persist the tag outside of the callback customScope.setTag('tag-a', 'a'); });
-
Passing
undefinedas atracesSampleRateoption value will now be treated the same as if the attribute was not defined at all. In previous versions, it was checked whether thetracesSampleRateproperty existed in the SDK options to decide if trace data should be propagated for tracing. Consequentially, this sometimes caused the SDK to propagate negative sampling decisions whentracesSampleRate: undefinedwas passed. This is no longer the case and sampling decisions will be deferred to downstream SDKs for distributed tracing. This is more of a bugfix rather than a breaking change, however, depending on the setup of your SDKs, an increase in sampled traces may be observed. -
If you use the optional
captureConsoleIntegrationand setattachStackTrace: truein yourSentry.initcall, console messages will no longer be marked as unhandled (handled: false) but as handled (handled: true). If you want to keep sending them as unhandled, configure thehandledoption when adding the integration:Sentry.init({ integrations: [Sentry.captureConsoleIntegration({ handled: false })], attachStackTrace: true, });
- The SDK no longer instructs the Sentry backend to automatically infer IP addresses by default.
Depending on the version of the Sentry backend (self-hosted), this may lead to IP addresses no longer showing up in Sentry, and events being grouped to "anonymous users".
At the time of writing, the Sentry SaaS solution will still continue to infer IP addresses, but this will change in the near future.
Set
sendDefaultPii: trueinSentry.init()to instruct the Sentry backend to always infer IP addresses.
-
The
tracesSamplerhook will no longer be called for every span. Root spans may however have incoming trace data from a different service, for example when using distributed tracing. -
The
requestDataIntegrationwill no longer automatically set the user fromrequest.userwhenexpressis used. Starting in v9, you'll need to manually callSentry.setUser()e.g. in a middleware to set the user on Sentry events. -
The
processThreadBreadcrumbIntegrationwas renamed tochildProcessIntegration. -
The
childProcessIntegration's (previouslyprocessThreadBreadcrumbIntegration)namevalue has been changed from"ProcessAndThreadBreadcrumbs"to"ChildProcess". Any filtering logic for registered integrations should be updated to account for the changed name. -
The
vercelAIIntegration'snamevalue has been changed from"vercelAI"to"VercelAI"(capitalized). Any filtering logic for registered integrations should be updated to account for the changed name. -
The Prisma integration no longer supports Prisma v5 and supports Prisma v6 by default. As per Prisma v6, the
previewFeatures = ["tracing"]client generator option in your Prisma Schema is no longer required to use tracing with the Prisma integration.For performance instrumentation using other/older Prisma versions:
-
Install the
@prisma/instrumentationpackage with the desired version. -
Pass a
new PrismaInstrumentation()instance as exported from@prisma/instrumentationto theprismaInstrumentationoption of this integration:import { PrismaInstrumentation } from '@prisma/instrumentation'; Sentry.init({ integrations: [ prismaIntegration({ // Override the default instrumentation that Sentry uses prismaInstrumentation: new PrismaInstrumentation(), }), ], });
The passed instrumentation instance will override the default instrumentation instance the integration would use, while the
prismaIntegrationwill still ensure data compatibility for the various Prisma versions. -
Depending on your Prisma version (prior to Prisma version 6), add
previewFeatures = ["tracing"]to the client generator block of your Prisma schema:generator client { provider = "prisma-client-js" previewFeatures = ["tracing"] }
-
-
When
skipOpenTelemetrySetup: trueis configured,httpIntegration({ spans: false })will be configured by default. You no longer have to specify this manually. With this change, no spans are emitted onceskipOpenTelemetrySetup: trueis configured, without any further configuration being needed.
All Meta-Framework SDKs (@sentry/nextjs, @sentry/nuxt, @sentry/sveltekit, @sentry/astro, @sentry/solidstart)
-
SDKs no longer transform user-provided values for source map generation in build configurations (like Vite config, Rollup config, or
next.config.js).If source maps are explicitly disabled, the SDK will not enable them. If source maps are explicitly enabled, the SDK will not change how they are emitted. However, the SDK will also not delete source maps after uploading them. If source map generation is not configured, the SDK will turn it on and delete them after the upload.
To customize which files are deleted after upload, define the
filesToDeleteAfterUploadarray with globs.
-
The
componentStackfield in theErrorBoundarycomponent is now typed asstringinstead ofstring | null | undefinedfor theonErrorandonResetlifecycle methods. This more closely matches the actual behavior of React, which always returns astringwhenever a component stack is available.In the
onUnmountlifecycle method, thecomponentStackfield is now typed asstring | null. ThecomponentStackisnullwhen no error has been thrown at time of unmount.
-
By default, client-side source maps will now be automatically deleted after being uploaded to Sentry during the build. You can opt out of this behavior by explicitly setting
sourcemaps.deleteSourcemapsAfterUploadtofalsein your Sentry config. -
The Sentry Next.js SDK will no longer use the Next.js Build ID as fallback identifier for releases. The SDK will continue to attempt to read CI-provider-specific environment variables and the current git SHA to automatically determine a release name. If you examine that you no longer see releases created in Sentry, it is recommended to manually provide a release name to
withSentryConfigvia therelease.nameoption.This behavior was changed because the Next.js Build ID is non-deterministic, causing build artifacts to be non-deterministic, because the release name is injected into client bundles.
-
Source maps are now automatically enabled for both client and server builds unless explicitly disabled via
sourcemaps.disable. Client builds usehidden-source-mapwhile server builds usesource-mapas their webpackdevtoolsetting unless any other value thanfalseorundefinedhas been assigned already. -
The
sentryproperty on the Next.js config object has officially been discontinued. Pass options towithSentryConfigdirectly.
The @sentry/utils package will no longer be published.
The @sentry/types package will continue to be published, however, it is deprecated and its API will not be extended.
It will not be published as part of future major versions.
All exports and APIs of @sentry/utils and @sentry/types (except for the ones that are explicitly called out in this migration guide to be removed) have been moved into the @sentry/core package.
-
The metrics API has been removed from the SDK.
The Sentry metrics beta has ended and the metrics API has been removed from the SDK. Learn more in the Sentry help center docs.
-
The
transactionContextproperty on thesamplingContextargument passed to thetracesSamplerandprofilesSampleroptions has been removed. All object attributes are available in the top-level ofsamplingContext:Sentry.init({ // Custom traces sampler tracesSampler: samplingContext => { - if (samplingContext.transactionContext.name === '/health-check') { + if (samplingContext.name === '/health-check') { return 0; } else { return 0.5; } }, // Custom profiles sampler profilesSampler: samplingContext => { - if (samplingContext.transactionContext.name === '/health-check') { + if (samplingContext.name === '/health-check') { return 0; } else { return 0.5; } }, }) -
The
enableTracingoption was removed. Instead, settracesSampleRate: 1ortracesSampleRate: 0. -
The
autoSessionTrackingoption was removed.To enable session tracking, ensure that either, in browser environments the
browserSessionIntegrationis added, or in server environments thehttpIntegrationis added. (both are added by default)To disable session tracking, remove the
browserSessionIntegrationin browser environments, or in server environments configure thehttpIntegrationwith thetrackIncomingRequestsAsSessionsoption set tofalse. Additionally, in Node.js environments, a session was automatically created for every node process whenautoSessionTrackingwas set totrue. This behavior has been replaced by theprocessSessionIntegrationwhich is configured by default. -
The
getCurrentHub(),HubandgetCurrentHubShim()APIs have been removed. They were on compatibility life support since the release of v8 and have now been fully removed from the SDK. -
The
addOpenTelemetryInstrumentationmethod has been removed. Use theopenTelemetryInstrumentationsoption inSentry.init()or your custom Sentry Client instead.import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node'; // before Sentry.addOpenTelemetryInstrumentation(new GenericPoolInstrumentation()); // after Sentry.init({ openTelemetryInstrumentations: [new GenericPoolInstrumentation()], });
-
The
debugIntegrationhas been removed. To log outgoing events, use Hook Options (beforeSend,beforeSendTransaction, ...). -
The
sessionTimingIntegrationhas been removed. To capture session durations alongside events, use Context (Sentry.setContext()).
-
The
addOpenTelemetryInstrumentationmethod was removed. Use theopenTelemetryInstrumentationsoption inSentry.init()or your custom Sentry Client instead. -
registerEsmLoaderHooksnow only acceptstrue | false | undefined. The SDK will default to wrapping modules that are used as part of OpenTelemetry Instrumentation. -
The
nestIntegrationwas removed. Use the NestJS SDK (@sentry/nestjs) instead. -
The
setupNestErrorHandlerwas removed. Use the NestJS SDK (@sentry/nestjs) instead.
- The
captureUserFeedbackmethod has been removed. Use thecaptureFeedbackmethod instead and update thecommentsfield tomessage.
- The
hideSourceMapsoption was removed without replacements. The SDK emits hidden sourcemaps by default.
-
The
sentrySolidStartViteplugin is no longer exported. Instead, wrap the SolidStart config withwithSentryand provide Sentry options as the second parameter.// app.config.ts import { defineConfig } from '@solidjs/start/config'; import { withSentry } from '@sentry/solidstart'; export default defineConfig( withSentry( { /* SolidStart config */ }, { /* Sentry build-time config (like project and org) */ }, ), );
-
Removed
@WithSentrydecorator. Use the@SentryExceptionCaptureddecorator as a drop-in replacement. -
Removed
SentryService.- If you are using
@sentry/nestjsyou can safely remove any references to theSentryService. - If you are using another package migrate to
@sentry/nestjsand remove theSentryServiceafterward.
- If you are using
-
Removed
SentryTracingInterceptor.- If you are using
@sentry/nestjsyou can safely remove any references to theSentryTracingInterceptor. - If you are using another package migrate to
@sentry/nestjsand remove theSentryTracingInterceptorafterward.
- If you are using
-
Removed
SentryGlobalGenericFilter. Use theSentryGlobalFilteras a drop-in replacement. -
Removed
SentryGlobalGraphQLFilter. Use theSentryGlobalFilteras a drop-in replacement.
-
The
wrapUseRoutesmethod has been removed. Depending on what version of react router you are using, use thewrapUseRoutesV6orwrapUseRoutesV7methods instead. -
The
wrapCreateBrowserRoutermethod has been removed. Depending on what version of react router you are using, use thewrapCreateBrowserRouterV6orwrapCreateBrowserRouterV7methods instead.
-
The options
tracingOptions,trackComponents,timeout,hookshave been removed everywhere except in thetracingOptionsoption ofvueIntegration().These options should now be configured as follows:
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/vue'; Sentry.init({ integrations: [ Sentry.vueIntegration({ tracingOptions: { trackComponents: true, timeout: 1000, hooks: ['mount', 'update', 'unmount'], }, }), ], });
-
The option
logErrorsin thevueIntegrationhas been removed. The Sentry Vue error handler will always propagate the error to a user-defined error handler or re-throw the error (which will log the error without modifying). -
The option
stateTransformerincreateSentryPiniaPlugin()now receives the full state from all stores as its parameter. The top-level keys of the state object are the store IDs.
-
The
tracingOptionsoption inSentry.init()was removed in favor of passing thevueIntegration()toSentry.init({ integrations: [...] })and settingtracingOptionsthere. -
The option
stateTransformerin thepiniaIntegrationnow receives the full state from all stores as its parameter. The top-level keys of the state object are the store IDs.
-
When component tracking is enabled, "update" spans are no longer created by default.
Add an
"update"item to thetracingOptions.hooksoption via thevueIntegration()to restore this behavior.Sentry.init({ integrations: [ Sentry.vueIntegration({ tracingOptions: { trackComponents: true, hooks: [ 'mount', 'update', // add this line to re-enable update spans 'unmount', ], }, }), ], });
- The
autoInstrumentRemixoption was removed. The SDK now always behaves as if the option were set totrue.
- The
fetchProxyScriptNonceoption insentryHandle()was removed due to security concerns. If you previously specified this option for your CSP policy, specify a script hash in your CSP config or disable the injection of the script entirely.
-
A
sampleRandfield onPropagationContextis now required. This is relevant if you usedscope.setPropagationContext(...) -
The
DEFAULT_USER_INCLUDESconstant has been removed. There is no replacement. -
The
BAGGAGE_HEADER_NAMEexport has been removed. Use a"baggage"string constant directly instead. -
The
extractRequestDatamethod has been removed. Manually extract relevant data of request objects instead. -
The
addRequestDataToEventmethod has been removed. UsehttpRequestToRequestDatainstead and put the resulting object directly onevent.request. -
The
addNormalizedRequestDataToEventmethod has been removed. UsehttpRequestToRequestDatainstead and put the resulting object directly onevent.request. -
The
generatePropagationContext()method was removed. UsegenerateTraceId()directly. -
The
spanIdfield onpropagationContextwas removed. It was replaced with an optional fieldpropagationSpanIdhaving the same semantics but only being defined when a unit of execution should be associated with a particular span ID. -
The
initSessionFlushermethod on theServerRuntimeClientwas removed without replacements. Any mechanisms creating sessions will flush themselves. -
The
IntegrationClasstype was removed. Instead, useIntegrationorIntegrationFn. -
The following exports have been removed without replacement:
getNumberOfUrlSegmentsvalidSeverityLevelsmakeFifoCachearrayifyflattenurlEncodegetDomElementmemoBuilderextractPathForTransaction_browserPerformanceTimeOriginModeaddTracingHeadersToFetchRequestSessionFlusher
-
The following types have been removed without replacement:
RequestRequestEventDataTransactionNamingSchemeRequestDataIntegrationOptionsSessionFlusherLikeRequestSessionRequestSessionStatus
- Removed
getPropagationContextFromSpanwithout replacement. - Removed
generateSpanContextForPropagationContextwithout replacement.
The following changes are unlikely to affect users of the SDK. They are listed here only for completion sake, and to alert users that may be relying on internal behavior.
client._prepareEvent()now requires bothcurrentScopeandisolationScopeto be passed as arguments.client.recordDroppedEvent()no longer accepts aneventas third argument. The event was no longer used for some time, instead you can (optionally) pass a count of dropped events as third argument.
-
The CJS code for the SDK now only contains compatibility statements for CJS/ESM in modules that have default exports:
Object.defineProperty(exports, '__esModule', { value: true });
Let us know if this is causing issues in your setup by opening an issue on GitHub.
-
@sentry/denois no longer published on thedeno.landregistry so you'll need to import the SDK from npm:import * as Sentry from 'npm:@sentry/deno'; Sentry.init({ dsn: '__DSN__', // ... });
-
Scopeusages now always expectScopeinstances -
Clientusages now always expectBaseClientinstances. The abstractClientclass was removed. Client classes now have to extend fromBaseClient.
These changes should not affect most users unless you relied on passing things with a similar shape to internal methods.
In v8, interfaces have been exported from @sentry/types, while implementations have been exported from other packages.
Version support timelines are stressful for everybody using the SDK, so we won't be defining one. Instead, we will be applying bug fixes and features to older versions as long as there is demand.
Additionally, we hold ourselves accountable to any security issues, meaning that if any vulnerabilities are found, we will in almost all cases backport them.
Note, that it is decided on a case-per-case basis, what gets backported or not. If you need a fix or feature in a previous version of the SDK, please reach out via a GitHub Issue.
