SDK does not support ESM in main process

[mahnunchik]

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)

Electron SDK Version

4.11.0

Electron Version

28

What platform are you using?

MacOS

Link to Sentry event

No response

Steps to Reproduce

Electron 28 with ESM support

Expected Result

Named export is supported as it shown in the readme

import { init } from '@sentry/electron';

init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  // ...
});

Actual Result

SyntaxError: Named export 'init' not found. The requested module '@sentry/electron' is a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.

[mahnunchik]

It seems @sentry/electron is completely broken when exported as ESM module in native ESM environment.

import Sentry from '@sentry/electron';

node_modules/@sentry/electron/esm/main/index.js:1
import { ensureProcess } from '../common';
^^^^^^

@timfish I can not use sentry with Electron 28 in ESM environment. It is impossible to import cjs version due to exports field in package.json

Could it be fixed?

[timfish]

It was on the list to test but I wasn't aware of a release yet since v27 is still in beta.
#730

I see there's a nightly. Is that what you're using?

It should be relatively easy to fix and I need to add some integration tests too.

[mahnunchik]

Yes, I'm using nightly Electron 28 electron/electron#37535 (comment) to have ESM only code.

[timfish]

This should be working in 4.12.0 but it won't be fully tested until there's a beta release that we can run through the full test suite.

this seems to be broken again in 4.17+

We test the latest versions of Electron with ESM in the main process. Can you open an issue with some reproduction steps?

unfortunately it's not very consistent, I have two electron apps... one where it's working and one where I get

App threw an error during load SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module at ../../node_modules/@sentry-internal/tracing/esm/node/integrations/mysql.js

both apps have identical tsconfigs, same sentry versions, same usage

Can you open a new issue with the full stack trace?
