| 7 | +## Requirements |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +This section outlines everything needed for Sentry and the Sentry SDK to pick up Debug IDs to unminify/symbolicate JavaScript files. |
| 10 | +It explains the necessary modifications to generated artifacts for source mapping to work. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +We follow our [TC39 Debug ID Proposal](https://github.com/tc39/source-map/blob/main/proposals/debug-id.md). However, because Debug IDs are not yet a standard, we need to employ a workaround. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### The Shape of Debug IDs |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Debug IDs should be UUIDs, e.g., `85314830-023f-4cf1-a267-535f4e37bb17`. The UUID version does not matter. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### Debug ID References |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Embed Debug IDs in JavaScript files and their source map for Sentry indexing. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +JavaScript files should have a `//# debugId=...` comment at the end: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +```js |
| 25 | +"use strict"; |
| 26 | +console.log("Hello world!"); |
| 27 | +//# debugId=85314830-023f-4cf1-a267-535f4e37bb17 |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +If a JS file has a source map reference, append the `debugId` comment after the `sourceMappingURL` comment: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```js |
| 33 | +"use strict"; |
| 34 | +console.log("Hello world!"); |
| 35 | +//# sourceMappingURL=index.js.map |
| 36 | +//# debugId=85314830-023f-4cf1-a267-535f4e37bb17 |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The corresponding source map should embed the same Debug ID using both `debug_id` and `debugId` fields for compatibility: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +```json |
| 42 | +{ |
| 43 | + "version": 3, |
| 44 | + "file": "index.js", |
| 45 | + "sources": [], |
| 46 | + "sourcesContent": [], |
| 47 | + "names": [], |
| 48 | + "mappings": "...", |
| 49 | + "debug_id": "85314830-023f-4cf1-a267-535f4e37bb17", |
| 50 | + "debugId": "85314830-023f-4cf1-a267-535f4e37bb17" |
| 51 | +} |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Since JS runtimes do not provide access to the `//# debugId=...` comment, inform the Sentry SDK about the Debug IDs for all loaded JavaScript files via a global variable. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Prepend each JavaScript file with a snippet to write file information and Debug IDs into a global variable. **Ensure that any changes to a JavaScript file also update the `mappings` in the corresponding source map.** |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The snippet should look as follows: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```js |
| 61 | +{ |
| 62 | + var globalObject = |
| 63 | + typeof window !== "undefined" |
| 64 | + ? window |
| 65 | + : typeof global !== "undefined" |
| 66 | + ? global |
| 67 | + : typeof self !== "undefined" |
| 68 | + ? self |
| 69 | + : {}; |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + var stack = new globalObject.Error().stack; |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + if (stack) { |
| 74 | + globalObject._sentryDebugIds = globalObject._sentryDebugIds || {}; |
| 75 | + globalObject._sentryDebugIds[stack] = |
| 76 | + "85314830-023f-4cf1-a267-535f4e37bb17"; |
| 77 | + } |
| 78 | +} |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +This snippet creates an error to capture the stack trace, which includes the file name/path. The stack trace is used as a key to map to the Debug ID for that file inside a global `_sentryDebugIds` object. The Sentry SDK parses out the Debug IDs and file names from this object when an error is captured. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +You can minify this snippet into one line, which will simplify updating the source map `mappings`. |
