Sentry Dart Plugin

A Dart Build Plugin that uploads debug symbols for Android, iOS/macOS and source maps for Web to Sentry via sentry-cli.

For doing it manually, please follow our docs.

📋 Install

In your pubspec.yaml, add sentry_dart_plugin as a new dev dependency.

dev_dependencies:
  sentry_dart_plugin: ^2.0.0

Build App

The flutter build apk, flutter build ios (or macos) or flutter build web is required before executing the sentry_dart_plugin plugin, because the build spits out the debug symbols and source maps.

Run

dart run sentry_dart_plugin

Configuration (Optional)

This tool comes with a default configuration. You can configure it to suit your needs. By default the plugin will look for the Sentry configuration in the pubspec.yaml file. If the configuration doesn't exist, the plugin will look for a sentry.properties file. If the sentry.properties file doesn't exist, the plugin will look for environment variables.

pubspec.yaml

Add sentry: configuration at the end of your pubspec.yaml file:

sentry:
  upload_debug_symbols: true
  upload_source_maps: false
  upload_sources: false
  project: ...
  org: ...
  auth_token: ...
  url: ...
  wait_for_processing: false
  log_level: error # possible values: trace, debug, info, warn, error
  release: ...
  dist: ...
  web_build_path: ...
  commits: auto
  ignore_missing: true

You can also override or extend your file based configuration by passing the parameters as arguments in the format --sentry-define=<KEY>=<VALUE>. They take precedence over your file based parameters, but not over the alternative environment variables.

dart run sentry_dart_plugin --sentry-define=release=app-internal-test@0.0.1

sentry.properties

Create a sentry.properties file at the root of your project:

upload_debug_symbols=true
upload_source_maps=false
upload_sources=false
project=...
org=...
auth_token=...
url=...
wait_for_processing=false
log_level=error # possible values: trace, debug, info, warn, error
release=...
dist=...
web_build_path=...
commits=auto
ignore_missing=true

Release

Per default, the release is build from pubspec.yaml's name, version & build: name@version+build. The build number, if present, is used as the dist parameter.

You can override these values by providing a release and dist through the plugin config, or through environmental values. The latter have precedence over the former. A custom dist value will also be used as the build number.

If provided, the plugin will take your release and dist values without further mutating them. Make sure you configure everything as outlined in the release docs of sentry-cli.

Web

If you're publishing your app on the web and it's not deployed at the root of your URL, you need to configure a prefix and update your stack frames.

Add the prefix to your pubspec.yaml in addition to your other configurations. Make sure that you have upload_source_maps enabled:

sentry:
  upload_source_maps=true
  prefix: ~/your_prefix/

The absolute path of your stack frames also needs to include the same prefix so that the source maps can be found for deobfuscation. Below is an example of how to update the stack frame's absolute path to include the prefix using the beforeSend hook:

options.beforeSend = (event, hint) async {
  final exceptions = event.exceptions?.map((exception) {
    final stackTrace = exception.stackTrace;
    if (stackTrace != null) {
      final frames = stackTrace.frames.map((frame) {
        const baseUrl = 'https://your-domain.com/';
        final modifiedAbsPath = frame.absPath?.replaceFirst(
          baseUrl,
          '${baseUrl}your_prefix/',
        );
        return frame.copyWith(absPath: modifiedAbsPath);
      }).toList();
      return exception.copyWith(
        stackTrace: SentryStackTrace(frames: frames),
      );
    }
    return exception;
  }).toList();
  return event.copyWith(exceptions: exceptions ?? []);
};

Don't forget to specify the prefix path when building for the web and also build with --source-maps:

flutter build web --base-href=/your_prefix/ --source-maps

Troubleshooting

Sentry's auth_token requires the project:releases or project:write scope, See docs.

For the commits feature, Sentry's auth_token also requires the org:read scope, See docs.

Dart's --obfuscate option is required to be paired with --split-debug-info to generate a symbol map, See docs.

The --split-debug-info option requires setting a output directory, the directory must be an inner folder of the project's folder, See docs.

Flutter's build web command requires setting the --source-maps parameter to generate source maps, See Issue

If a previous release could not be found in the git history, please make sure you set ignore_missing: true in the configuration if you want to ignore such errors, See Issue
