Research direction
Start at createRpcPrototypeWrapper and compare its metadata-missing path with instrumentWorkerEntrypoint's capture-only wrapper and wrapMethodWithSentry. Reproduce an external RPC call from the plain worker in the issue, then verify that calls without metadata run with a client and isolation scope, flush metrics and errors, and leave internal this.method() calls unwrapped.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Environment
@sentry/cloudflare: 10.74.0 (same logic ondevelop/11.0.0-beta.2)- DO wrapped with
instrumentDurableObjectWithSentry,enableRpcTracePropagation: true(the only
supported way to instrument RPC methods in v11, now thatinstrumentPrototypeMethodsis removed)
Description
createRpcPrototypeWrapper only calls wrapMethodWithSentry when the last argument carries
__sentry_rpc_meta__. Otherwise the original method runs with no client bound. Then:
Sentry.metrics.count/gauge/distributionreturn early (no client);Sentry.captureExceptionandSentry.logger.*are dropped;- no
rpcspan is recorded, and a thrown error is not captured.
Callers send the metadata only if they are Sentry-instrumented, have an active trace, and got the stub
through get/getByName on the instrumented env (see #24442). Common cases that lose everything:
- calls from uninstrumented workers or mixed deployments;
- calls from code running outside the request's async context;
- any call through
jurisdiction().
WorkerEntrypoint already covers this case: instrumentWorkerEntrypoint uses a capture-only wrapper
when the metadata is missing. Durable Objects have no equivalent. fetch, alarm and webSocket* are
always wrapped, so only RPC is affected. That makes the gap easy to miss: our production data had
14 days of DO alarm spans and zero DO rpc spans.
Reproduction
class MyDO extends DurableObject {
async ping() {
Sentry.metrics.count('my_do.ping', 1);
throw new Error('boom');
}
}
export const MyDOInstrumented = Sentry.instrumentDurableObjectWithSentry(
env => ({ dsn: env.SENTRY_DSN, tracesSampleRate: 1, enableRpcTracePropagation: true }),
MyDO,
);
// From a plain (uninstrumented) worker:
await env.MY_DO.get(env.MY_DO.idFromName('x')).ping();
Neither the metric nor the error reaches Sentry.
Expected
External RPC calls without metadata still run inside a client and isolation scope with flush, as
WorkerEntrypoint does. Internal this.method() calls stay unwrapped.
