`Sentry.postgresJsIntegration()` not creating any DB spans

[aldy505]

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?

Self-hosted/on-premise

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/node

SDK Version

10.18.0

Framework Version

Node 22.16.0

Link to Sentry event

No response

Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

Init script:

import { parseConfiguration } from "@internal-company/config";
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/node";
const environment = process.env.NODE_ENV ?? "development";
const sentryDebug: boolean | undefined =
    process.env.SENTRY_DEBUG != null ? process.env.SENTRY_DEBUG === "true" : undefined;
const configuration = await parseConfiguration();
Sentry.init({
    dsn: configuration.sentry.sentry_worker_dsn,
    sampleRate: configuration.sentry.sentry_sample_rate,
    environment,
    tracesSampleRate: configuration.sentry.sentry_traces_sample_rate,
    debug: sentryDebug ?? environment === "local",
    release: "{{SENTRY_VERSION}}+{{GIT_COMMIT_SHA}}",
    sendDefaultPii: true,
    enableLogs: true,
    integrations: [
        ...Sentry.getDefaultIntegrations({}),
        Sentry.zodErrorsIntegration(),
        Sentry.tediousIntegration(),
        Sentry.postgresJsIntegration(),
        Sentry.httpIntegration(),
        Sentry.requestDataIntegration(),
        Sentry.featureFlagsIntegration(),
    ],
});

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enabled Sentry.postgresJsIntegration() based on this PR: feat(node): Add postgresjs instrumentation #16665
2. Create some traffic, hit some SQL queries

Expected Result

At least, I see that the postgres library was patched by the otel instrumentation hook. The queries coming from Tedious (SQL Server) was successfully captured, but any other query for PostgreJs was not captured.

Here's the trace waterfall:

Looks like there are no logs about our instrumentation patching postgres exports but only tedious. Are you running your application in ESM or CJS? Just to confirm, you're preloading the init script via --import or --require?

ESM and --import. You can notice that on the uppermost logs:

Oct 09 08:10:23 vm npm[970308]: > node --import ./dist/instrument.js ./dist/entry.js

I can reproduce this. Still looking into what's going on at the moment. I'll leave an update once I know more. Thanks for reporting!
