Thanks for reporting your issue, @asyrialaPano!

@open-telemetry/javascript-approvers, PTAL.

@asyrialaPano I guess you're talking about express@5, right?

Immediate action to work around this would be to pin to express@4. Then we'd need to update everything to express@5 when open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js-contrib#2437 has landed.

Edit: this is the new PR open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js-contrib#2801

[svrnm]

is this fixed or can this be fixed, since open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js-contrib#2801 is merged?

[pichlermarc]

I just walked through the example myself (copy-pasting from the docs) and this works now. I assume missing support for express@5 was the culprit and the latest release fixed this.

@svrnm - I think this can be closed.
