[React Router] Transaction unexpectedly ended early, cancelling spans from componentDidMount()

[realkosty]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which package are you using?

@sentry/react

SDK Version

7.17.3 - but tested on 7.23.0 with same result

Framework Version

17.0.2 (react-router-dom: 6.4.3)

Link to Sentry event

https://sentry.io/organizations/testorg-az/performance/application-monitoring-javascript:755fa61c341044a19a38b718efff2b35/?project=5808623&query=sdk.version%3A7.17.3&referrer=performance-transaction-summary&statsPeriod=30d&transaction=%2Fproducts&unselectedSeries=p100()

Steps to Reproduce

0. Examine our project's SDK configuration index.js#L60-65 and index.js#L104
   0.1 Examine code that initiates span that gets cut short before it finishes: Products.js#L39 - called from componentDidMount()
1. Go to https://application-monitoring-react-dot-sales-engineering-sf.appspot.com/products
2. Open devtools
3. (optional) set breakpoint in idletransaction.tx - will eventually point you to reactrouterv6.tsx: handleNavigation() and _useEffect()
4. Reload page
5. Inspect console log (Debug level)
6. Get transaction ID from Network tab and plug into search in /products transaction of this project

• Internal ticket: https://getsentry.atlassian.net/browse/FEEDBACK-1679

Expected Result

Transaction runs its course and does not finish prematurely before http.client span (GET https://.../products) is complete.

Actual Result

• Logs show "[Tracing] cancelling span since transaction ended early"
• In Sentry UI the last http.client span (GET https://.../products) of the transaction is cut short even though corresponding backend transaction is ~ 2 seconds.

[thinkocapo]

As a result of the problem described above, see that the bottom http.client txn here says 90.40ms...

but when you click the plus '+' to open it, it says 3,447 ms

Here's an additonal transaction showing the same problem.

VIDEO - If you want to see the expected behavior (how it worked with JS SDK v6.X.X) watch this VIDEO (2minutes) where I show v6 versus v7 outcomes.

You'll see that with v6 you get all those additional spans which are now getting cancelled in v7.

[thinkocapo]

Here is some output from using Sentry.init({ debug:true }) regarding the cancelled spans.

@smeubank - can we please get this prioritized and looked at?
It's impacting our demos as the data isn't lining up

Let us know if you need more information from us. We've posted all of our findings here and can collaborate on this issue to help move this forward.

This is a critical bug for us, as showing/tracing the /products transaction is part of the performance demo flow (/products on FE -> /products on BE [and the slowdown is a series of DB calls on the backend)

[timfish]

I'll take a look at this today!

I can't get application-monitoring/react to build on master.

What environment variables should I be setting? There are a lot in here but not sure which ones I need:
https://github.com/sentry-demos/application-monitoring/blob/master/env-config/example.env

I don't think the build error is related to environment variables:

I'm in the Sentry Discord for direct messages!

@timfish Hey Tim, to run our app:

From top level directory

./deploy.sh --env=local react

Or if you want to run it with hot reload:

cd react
../env.sh local npm start

[timfish]

Both of those give me an error because env-config/local.env is not checked into the repository.

[ERROR] Missing file env-config/local.env or invalid environment 'local'.

I've tried creating env-config/local.env but what environment variables should I set? I've tried setting the obvious ones and then I get I get the above error.

[realkosty]

Please create env-config/local.env with following content:

SENTRY_ORG={FILL IN YOUR ORG SLUG}

REACT_APP_DSN={{FILL IN YOUR DSN}}
REACT_APP_ENGINE_SERVICE=
REACT_APP_ENVIRONMENT=test
REACT_RELEASE_PACKAGE_NAME=application.monitoring.javascript
REACT_SENTRY_PROJECT={{FILL IN YOUR PROJECT SLUG}}
REACT_SOURCEMAPS_DIR=build/static/js
REACT_SOURCEMAPS_URL_PREFIX=~/static/js
REACT_APP_FLASK_BACKEND={{DM-ed URL TO YOU}}

It turns out there are some older dependencies somewhere that cause this issue which meant it wasn't working with my default node (v18). It's now working with node v16 but this should probably be documented somewhere!

For the JavaScript SDKs we use Volta which enforces the correct node version. It's nice because once setup and a version is pinned you can switch between projects and the correct version will be used with each.

When the the page is first loaded, in reactrouterv6.tsx, SentryRoutes + useEffect calls updatePageloadTransaction and later handleNavigation.

sentry-javascript/packages/react/src/reactrouterv6.tsx

Lines 189 to 201 in 2fa11eb

	_useEffect(() => {
	// Performance concern:
	// This is repeated when <Routes /> is rendered.
	routes = _createRoutesFromChildren(props.children) as RouteObject[];
	isBaseLocation = true;
	updatePageloadTransaction(location, routes);
	// eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
	}, [props.children]);
	_useEffect(() => {
	handleNavigation(location, routes, navigationType, isBaseLocation);
	}, [props.children, location, navigationType, isBaseLocation]);

The problem is that it calls handleNavigation with isBaseLocation == true and that causes the transaction to be finished.

This logic doesn't seem correct to me but it's been there since v7.0

sentry-javascript/packages/react/src/reactrouterv6.tsx

Lines 130 to 143 in 2fa11eb

	function handleNavigation(
	location: Location,
	routes: RouteObject[],
	navigationType: Action,
	isBaseLocation: boolean,
	matches?: AgnosticDataRouteMatch,
	): void {
	if (isBaseLocation) {
	if (activeTransaction) {
	activeTransaction.finish();
	}
	return;
	}

@onurtemizkan have you got any idea?

It turns out there are some older dependencies somewhere that cause facebook/create-react-app#11565 which meant it wasn't working with my default node (v18). It's now working with node v16 but this should probably be documented somewhere!

thank you for pointing this out Tim, we should use Volta or document it like you suggested.

@onurtemizkan
Please let me know if there's is anything I can help with investigating this.
