I have the following issue:

When I throw a exception to Sentry using the Sentry.CaptureExpection Method, in the Sentry UI, the internal Sentry JS stack trace is showing and not the error stack trace

Steps to reproduce:

try {
      // Do some logic which might have an error
    } catch (Error) {
      captureException(Error);
    }

Actual result:

The first two lines of the stack trace are internal Sentry stack Expected result:

[Expected result]

My error should be the top of the stack trace

Hi @daniel-johns-99, thank you for the message,

from the link and screenshot I see that this the original captured error doesn't have a stack trace, that's why the SDK captures the synthetic exception.

Because non of the frames of the synthetic exception were evaluated as your application frames, the top "Sentry" frame is highlighted.

You can fix this by setting Stack Trace Rules (https://docs.sentry.io/product/data-management-settings/event-grouping/stack-trace-rules/):

This is an example of what you can add based on the screenshot:

stack.abs_path:**node_modules/@yourpackage/react-shared/**                      +app
stack.abs_path:**node_modules/@yourpackage/react-shared/node_modules/**         -app
