Update docs on Sentry.io with latest version from docs.sentry.io

Open PJUllrich opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

Problem Statement

When adding a JS integration on Sentry.io, the verification step still instructs the user to run myUndefinedFunction();, but that won't create a Sentry error, at least not when run in the console. The docs show a newer and correct verification step which does create a Sentry error: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/#verify

Solution Brainstorm

Having a non-working command at the end of the setup docs on Sentry.io is confusing. Please update the setup docs for the JS integration on Sentry.io with the new command documented in the docs here: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/#verify

- myUndefinedFunction();
+ setTimeout(() => {
+   throw new Error("Sentry Test Error");
+ });

Hi, i think i ran into the same issue recently , and coupled with that , sentry is kind of bloated and packed with features that i dont need

and i just ended up building a very simple alternative to it very simple to setup, no config hell and less confusing docs If you want, I can help you migrate your existing Sentry setup in under 5 minutes.
