How do I test that Sentry is reporting errors?

I just installed Sentry for a client-side JavaScript app using the standard code snippet they provided. How do I test that it's working properly? I've tried manually throwing an error from my browser console and it didn't appear in Sentry. Is there any documentation on the right way to do this?

Solution

  • The browser console can not be used as it is sandboxed. A simple trick is to attach the code to an HTML element like this:

    <h1 onClick="throw new Error('Test')">
  My Website
</h1>

    And click on the heading afterwards.

    This can be done in the browser inspector and so your source code doesn't have to be modified.
