Some sentry errors from live_view have no context

Sentry uses process dict to store context, similar to Logger. Sentry plug sets the context on the process that handles the HTTP requests and the first liveview render. I guess your problem arises when the error happens in the live view’s channel process (apparently in handle_info) which has no context set by Sentry.

def mount(_, _, socket) do
  ctx = Sentry.Context.get_all()
  
  if connected?(socket) do
    IO.inspect(ctx, label: "live view channel context")
  else
    IO.inspect(ctx, label: "live view first http request context")
  end

  {:ok, socket}
end

If that’s indeed the case, then you can probably add an on_mount hook that would copy the context from HTTP request into the channel process.

If it helps, here is some code that we used in Bytepack to store LiveView information:

https://github.com/dashbitco/bytepack_archive/blob/main/apps/bytepack_web/lib/bytepack_web/request_context.ex

The audit context is passed to the context/model layer. The request context is stored in Sentry’s pdict.

Just to make this a bit more explicit. When thing fail on the websocket connection there is no http request to have information about in the first place. Cookies (of the initial upgrade request) are also not exposed to channels. Relevant information would need to be fetched through other means, which I’m not sure the sentry library has integrations for yet.
