Sentry version and compatible SDK Loader Versions

[yildizozgur]

Problem Statement

Hi,

how do we manage the sentry application version and its compatible SDK versions. In another words, When we select SDK version on GUI JavaScript Loader Script page/section (7.X, 8.X, or 9.X), it use some certain minor versions of the SDK. For example when we select 9.X, it brings SDK 9.22.0 version . But 9.29 is already released on SDK project. How does this compatability managed? How can we follow/track compatability of these two project?

How does this compatability managed?

For each releases (or basically Docker image build) on Sentry, there will be a JSON file generated somewhere that contains the JS SDK registry for JS Loader purposes. Then, it will be hard-embedded into the Docker image.

See this line for testing if the file exists, I don't remember the exact line of code where they generate the JSON file: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/blob/229e3f223f5c2ec874ab3417c6c62d52ae045725/self-hosted/Dockerfile#L73

How can we follow/track compatability of these two project?

Honestly I have no idea. On this script, I just query the last entry on that JSON file: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/1b88e90e30f1c920aa274e834c59a6d073028cec/install/setup-js-sdk-assets.sh#L24-L30

Obviously, it won't be as up to date as the one on the SaaS.

Thank you very much @aldy505 for your explanation. I will try to find a WA, then hope that will be easily managable on platform.

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 remove the label Waiting for: Community, I will leave it alone ... forever!
