Error not captured by sentry: Invalid request method "OPTIONS"

[alexblack]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

No response

SDK Setup

Here is our remix server sentry init:

  init({
    beforeSend,
    sendDefaultPii: true,
    dsn: SENTRY_ADDON_DSN,
    tracesSampleRate: getApp() === 'syncwith' ? 1 : 0.05,
    normalizeDepth: 6, // stringify deeper objects
    integrations: [
      // enable HTTP calls tracing
      new Integrations.Http({ tracing: true }),
      new Integrations.RequestData({
        include: {
          ip: true,
        },
      }),
    ],
  });

Also:

const createSentryRequestHandler =
  wrapExpressCreateRequestHandler(createRequestHandler);

And:

export default withSentry(App);

Steps to Reproduce

Remix has a regression where it fails to handle OPTIONS requests, and I expected/hoped Sentry would have alerted us to this, instead we didn't get an errors tracked, and hence no alerts or notifications.

In our http logs I see:

Here is the PR where Remix fixed the issue: remix-run/react-router#9914

Expected Result

I expected this error to be caught by sentry so we could be alerted about it. Is there something we need to change in our config to handle this?

Actual Result

No warnings or alerts.

If Remix themselves handled this exception and swallowed it there at the current moment there is no way for Sentry to capture it - so it depends on what the framework was doing with the error internally. I assume this was not a unhandled exception (which would crash the server).

I agree though we should be capturing these, maybe we can monkey patch getInternalRouterError?

[alexblack]

You're right it didn't crash the server, so I do think it was unhandled.

I do see Sentry in that call stack... That might mean Sentry would/could have seen it?

Yes - let's see if I can quick win handle this case, otherwise will backlog for later.

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!
