captureException does not send exception

[paulius005]

I am experiencing two issues in the renderer context

1. captureException || captureMessage does not send anything, but the functions do exist, the network tab shows no activity
2. if I call Sentry.captureException outside of the function where I initialize sentry, captureException doesn't actually exist. Printing Sentry.captureException returns null

For testing purposes I am only running this on the renderer right now and am on version 0.7.0

Here is a video explaining my issue and showing my code:

Hey,
thanks for the cool bug report, that's a first for me to receive a video explaining the bug in detail 😅 💯

So to your issue, YES you also need to setup Sentry in the main process since we pipe everything through the main process to not have any "frontend" xhr going on. We use electron net module to send everything which is more stable and reliable.

One thing I find strange is, that Sentry.captureException suddenly returns null, that seems odd, not really sure what's going on there but please try to first also setup Sentry in the main process then we know more :)

I am seeing a possibly similar issue. I am attempting to test my integration by calling Sentry.captureMessage('Test Connection') when a Vue component is mounting (not sure if using Vue matters here). I am seeing the following message in my console:

  { SentryError: HTTP Error (400): No JSON data was found
      at new SentryError (/Users/mcfearsome/weblinc/projects/ja-cyo/node_modules/@sentry/core/src/error.ts:7:5)

We have just released v3.0.0 of the SDK which includes a lot of changes and improvements since this issue was opened.

If you can still reproduce this with v3, please open a new issue and I'll look into it.
