This SDK is under active development! Feel free to already try it but expect breaking changes

todo: link official SDK docs

Compatibility

The minimum supported version of Nuxt is 3.0.0.

General

This package is a wrapper around @sentry/node for the server and @sentry/vue for the client side, with added functionality related to Nuxt.

What is working:

  • Error Reporting
    • Vue
    • Node
    • Nitro

What is partly working:

  • Source Maps
  • Connected Tracing (Frontend & Backend)
  • Tracing by setting tracesSampleRate
    • UI (Vue) traces
    • HTTP (Node) traces

Known Issues:

  • When adding sentry.server.config.(ts/js), you get an error like this: "Failed to register ESM hook (import-in-the-middle/hook.mjs)". You can add a resolution for @vercel/nft to fix this. This will add the hook.mjs file to your build output (issue here).
      "resolutions": {
        "@vercel/nft": "^0.27.4"
      }
    

Automatic Setup

todo: add wizard instructions

Take a look at the sections below if you want to customize your SDK configuration.

Manual Setup

If the setup through the wizard doesn't work for you, you can also set up the SDK manually.

1. Prerequisites & Installation

  1. Install the Sentry Nuxt SDK:
    # Using npm
    npm install @sentry/nuxt
    
    # Using yarn
    yarn add @sentry/nuxt
    

2. Nuxt Module Setup

The Sentry Nuxt SDK is based on Nuxt Modules.

  1. Add @sentry/nuxt/module to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts:
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@sentry/nuxt/module'],
});

3. Client-side setup

Add a sentry.client.config.(js|ts) file to the root of your project:

import { useRuntimeConfig } from '#imports';
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nuxt';

Sentry.init({
  // If set up, you can use your runtime config here
  dsn: useRuntimeConfig().public.sentry.dsn,
});

4. Server-side setup

Add an sentry.client.config.(js|ts) file to the root of your project:

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nuxt';

// Only run `init` when process.env.SENTRY_DSN is available.
if (process.env.SENTRY_DSN) {
  Sentry.init({
    dsn: 'your-dsn',
  });
}

The Nuxt runtime config does not work in the Sentry server to technical reasons (it has to be loaded before Nuxt is loaded). To be able to use process.env you either have to add --env-file=.env to your node command

node --env-file=.env --import ./.output/server/sentry.server.config.mjs .output/server/index.mjs

or use the dotenv package:

import dotenv from 'dotenv';
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nuxt';

dotenv.config();

Sentry.init({
  dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
});

Add an import flag to the Node options of your node command (not nuxt preview), so the file loads before any other imports (keep in mind the .mjs file ending):

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node --import ./.output/server/sentry.server.config.mjs .output/server/index.mjs"
  }
}

Uploading Source Maps

To upload source maps, you can use the sourceMapsUploadOptions option inside the sentry options of your nuxt.config.ts:

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@sentry/nuxt/module'],
  sentry: {
    debug: true,
    sourceMapsUploadOptions: {
      org: 'your-org-slug',
      project: 'your-project-slug',
      authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
    },
  },
});
