Hi, can you confirm that you're using @sentry/electron and you followed our electron docs? https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/electron/

My page can run in both Electron and Chrome, so I believe I should use @sentry/browser.

And I am collecting issues from web pages, not from Electron.

@HaoZhouInRC can you give us more context on your setup? Does your app run inside of a browser extension? Please also share the config of your init call.

Sentry.init({
    "environment": "develop",
    "dsn": "xxxxxx",
    "debug": false,
    "release": "24.4.20",
    "ignoreErrors": [],
    "maxBreadcrumbs": 50,
    "integrations": [Breadcrumbs],
    "transportOptions": {},
    "initialScope": {"tags": {"desktopRelease": "24.3.360"}}
})

My application is a React web page that can run in Electron or a browser.
