Sentry with #sentry/webpack-plugin and heroku - heroku

Question

I'm using webpack to build my app and it works locally with #sentry/webpack-plugin – it autogenerates the release and uploads the sourcemaps to Sentry.
However, if I'm trying to build the same app on Heroku it gives me the following error:
Error: Command failed: /tmp/build_e3ae44a78c063d6493d3fdfc983bd8d6/client/node_modules/#sentry/cli/sentry-cli releases propose-version

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You can fix this by manually specifying the release name in the plugin config:
const version = require('../VERSION').version;
webpackConfig.plugins.push(new SentryWebpackPlugin({
include: '../src',
ignoreFile: '.sentrycliignore',
ignore: ['node_modules', 'webpack.config.js'],
configFile: '.sentryclirc',
release: version
}));
We use a module called release-it to build a VERSION file when we run npm run release. Here's the .release-it.json config file we use for that:
{
"non-interactive": true,
"npm": {
"publish": false
},
"use": "git.tag",
"pkgFiles": null,
"scripts": {
"afterBump": "echo module.exports = {version: \"'\"${version}\"'\"} > $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/VERSION"
},
"git": {
"commitMessage": "release: v${version}",
"requireCleanWorkingDir": false,
"tagName": "v${version}"
}
}

I had the same issue when I build with a slow internet connection.
Also, check if the API token you are using have the write permission in https://sentry.io/settings/account/api/auth-tokens/
