Core or SDK?

Platform/SDK

Which part? Which one?

NodeJS SDK

Description

The current text here is: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/node/enriching-events/context/#clearing-context

This will be changed for all future events:

Sentry.setUser(someUser); //SetContext as well

However, the scope in Node is per router and if the context or user is added inside a router, it will not be available to other routers. This is expected and can be reproduced with:

Sentry.init({....});

app.use(Sentry.Handlers.requestHandler());

Sentry.setContext("TrueGlobalContext",{foo:'This context will be present in all future events'});

// All controllers should live here
app.get("/", function rootHandler(req, res) {
  Sentry.setContext("FakeGlobalContext",{foo:'This context will be present only in events from this request'});
  res.end("End request")
});

// The error handler must be before any other error middleware and after all controllers
app.use(Sentry.Handlers.errorHandler());

Suggested Solution

The doc currently has a single text for all platforms/frameworks. The suggestion is to add notes or comments for frameworks where the behaviour is different.

Looks like a platformsection just needs to be set up for that section of the page to address this.
