ng build stuck after successful build since sentryWebpack v2

[johanneszelger]

Since i upgraded from the plugin v1 to v2, my angular build gets stuck after a successfull build:

Build at: 2023-07-07T10:40:52.046Z - Hash: cc2971c88cd12369 - Time: 32093ms

just won't end the process after this line. When i remove the plugin, the build ends normally. I tried the plugin versions 2.4 2.3 2.0, all unsuccessfull.

I have the same problem on Angular 15 app, when I add sentry webpack plugin I see success for build and sourcemap upload, but the process is not finished
This makes the plugin not usable

Hi, can you please share your plugin config? Do you get console output from the plugin regarding source maps upload or how many files were uploaded?

[johanneszelger]

Sure, my config is:

plugins = [
  new webpack.DefinePlugin({
    "process.env.RELEASE": JSON.stringify(release),
    "process.env.BUILD": JSON.stringify(build)
  })
]

if (process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN !== undefined && process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN !== "") {
  console.log("adding sentry webpack because auth token was found, release: ", release)
  plugins.push(sentryWebpackPlugin({
    url: "url",
    org: "org",
    project: "frontend",

    authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,

    release: {
      name: release,
      finalize: false,
      cleanArtifacts: true,
      dist: build
    }
  }))
} else
  console.log("skipping sentry webpack because auth token was not found")

module.exports = {
  devtool: "source-map", // Source map generation must be turned on
  plugins: plugins,
  watch: false,
};

And yes i get output from the plugin, all sourcemaps are uploaded successfully, they are also visible on sentry. Everything is working - its just that my build pipeline gets stuck after the successfull build. If i cancel the process manually, everything works as expected.

We have the same issue. It just doesn't end the webpack process

[MitkoTschimev]

I was able to pin it down to the dependency unplugin.
For a simple plugin with this dep on the newest version shows the same behavior

unjs/unplugin#323

[Lms24]

Thanks for investigating this @MitkoTschimev, appreciate the effort! Let's see if this can be fixed in unplugin. In the meantime, you might want to look into setting up Sentry-CLI to upload your source maps as a workaround.

[MitkoTschimev]

It is unsuitable for us because we use service workers with angular. The service worker works based on the content hash value of artifacts. if we manipulate the files afterwards, they are not matching anymore.

This is the advantage of the webpack plugin.

we use at the moment version 1.x and its fine for us

I am contemplating whether we should just remove unplugin entirely. In the beginning, I thought it was a good idea to abstract away all the bundler intricacies but by now many of the injection flows are different anyhow. I believe we're operating too low-level for unplugin to be effective. It would be a medium refactor but one dependency less.

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!

Is there any news yet?

[Lms24]

Hi, no news at this time. We're not gonna get to this this week. Maybe next week we can look into fixing this quickly in unplugin. Moving away from unplugin is a larger task I'm afraid and we're currently completely packed with tasks and projects.

Any updates?

[lforst]

No updates. I think we are soft-blocked by unjs/unplugin#323. We could remove the unplugin dependency but it would result in quite a bit of work which we don't have the cycles for right now :(

[krema]

Any updates?

[lforst]

@krema Not yet. You can use Sentry CLI to upload source maps for now. There also seems to be an issue with angular and esbuild in general. #351

[rgant]

The documentation currently says to do what doesn't work. https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/angular/sourcemaps/uploading/angular-webpack/

If there isn't bandwidth to remove unplugin, perhaps there is bandwidth to update the documentation with an alternative setup?

Because otherwise I will continue to use "@sentry/webpack-plugin": "^1.21.0", until this is resolved.

[lforst]

@rgant Using "@sentry/webpack-plugin": "^1.21.0" is perfectly fine!

[Agrumas]

Any news? This occurs to us too, however downgrading to ^1.21.0 isn't an option

[lforst]

@Agrumas No news.

[salonmonster]

This is still an issue.
I've rolled back to ^1.21.0 for now, but wasted a good while trying to track this down :(

[gerbermichi]

Our workaround is to use the sentry-cli to upload the sourcemap with a specific release:
Associating release with Artifact Bundle

[andreiborza]

Yes, so the workaround is either to downgrade or to use sentry-cli. We are thinking of refactoring unplugin out but have not yet committed to it.
