I update to 0.5.4, error on MODULE_NOT_FOUND

[ncaq]

I update @sentry/electron 0.4.1 to 0.5.4.

And I rewrite function create to init.

My src/sentry.js.

import { init, captureMessage } from '@sentry/electron';

init({ dsn: 'foobar' });
captureMessage('Hello, world!');

So sentry is failed.
(My application name replaced to foo)

{ Error: Cannot find module "/home/ncaq/Desktop/foo/package.json".
    at webpackEmptyContext (/home/ncaq/Desktop/foo/app/webpack:/node_modules/@sentry/electron/dist/main sync:2:1)
    at getPackageJson (/home/ncaq/Desktop/foo/app/webpack:/node_modules/@sentry/electron/dist/main/context.js:80:1)
    at /home/ncaq/Desktop/foo/app/webpack:/node_modules/@sentry/electron/dist/main/context.js:240:25

    at fulfilled (/home/ncaq/Desktop/foo/app/webpack:/node_modules/@sentry/electron/dist/main/context.js:4:42)
    at <anonymous> code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

However, /home/ncaq/Desktop/foo/package.json exist.
Since this is a full path, it is hard to think that searching for webpack or babel is the cause.

Is it bug?
Or my setting is invalid?

My env.

• babel: 7.0.0-beta.46
• @sentry/electron: 0.5.4
• react: 16.2.0
• webpack: 4.6.0
• electron: 1.8.4
• OS: Gentoo Linux
• node: v9.10.1

The reason for this error is that webpack replaces require, which is required by the SDK to load your app's package.json. Can you please try out the fix from #82 and see whether it works now?

npm install 'https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-electron#fix/webpack-require'

Edit: Installing like this won't work, as you'll need built sources. Please follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository and check out fix/webpack-require
2. Execute yarn to install dependencies and yarn build to build the javascript
3. Run yarn link to make the local package available to other projects
4. Change to your project directory and run yarn link @sentry/electron to link the previously built package

I followed the instructions and get the following error now instead of module not found:

TypeError: e.require is not a function
at a (/xxx/app/webpack:/sentry-electron/dist/main/context.js:83:25)

Could you please help me out by sharing the relevant bits of your webpack configuration, so I can reproduce this in a test case? Thanks!

I also use webpack and what I've done is added the package in my config to externals like so

{
	externals: {
		'@sentry/electron': 'require("@sentry/electron")'
	}
}

webpack documentation on externals

In case you don't like it/doesn't work I have an alternative:

const { init, captureMessage } = window.require('@sentry/electron');

init({ dsn: 'foobar' });
captureMessage('Hello, world!');

[jan-auer]

Wait, are you getting this error in a renderer?

[DimitarNestorov]

Well why would you use webpack in the main process?

[maplemike]

Downgrading to 0.5.0 is the oldest version I could get to work properly. My webpack config files are here: https://gist.github.com/maplemike/4a146236a8bf9eac2929670ec1d8f35c

Everything works fine in dev, but in production the module not found error seems to creep up. I'm not too familiar with webpack and Elecron so not sure where to start here

[jan-auer]

I have seen people do that, that's why I was so irritated. This code section should not even be executed in a renderer due to this dispatch. I suppose that some optimization removes this code from your bundles?

[jan-auer]

Can you try to use WebpackDefinePlugin to set process.type to "renderer"?

[maplemike]

adding this to the renderer webpack config

new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.type': JSON.stringify('renderer')
}),

had no effect

[jan-auer]

Next attempt in #84, would someone please be so kind to try this out?

I also added webpack to the example app this time, as we'll need it for the sandbox mode soon, anyway.

[maplemike]

I still get an error...

App threw an error during load
TypeError: e.require is not a function
at new t.ElectronFrontend (/xxx/app/webpack:/sentry-electron/dist/dispatch.js:37:9)

[jan-auer]

@maplemike can you please confirm that the error is being thrown in a renderer and your webpack configuration does not override process.type anymore? I'm having a hard time reproducing this error.

If you're in the main process, you'll have to make sure that @sentry/electron is specified in the externals option of your webpack config.
