I want to start session replay based on some query params like this:
useEffect(() => {
const campaignId = query.campaignid;
console.log("campaign id", campaignId);
return async () => {
const replay = Sentry.getCurrentHub().getIntegration(Sentry.Replay);
if (replay) {
console.log("in replay");
// Sentry.setTag("campaignid", campaignId);
await replay.flush();
}
};
}, []);
But this is not recording the session.

Did you call replay.start() or replay.startBuffering() ? https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/session-replay/understanding-sessions/#manually-starting-replay
sleek igloo
yes, I tried that, but session is already started somehow. I can confirm that bcz I'm getting the replay id. I'm using Nextjs
I have setup using this in sentry.client.ts
integrations: [
new Sentry.Replay({
// Additional Replay configuration goes in here, for example:
maskAllText: false,
blockAllMedia: false,
networkDetailAllowUrls: [window.location.origin],
}),
],

@sleek igloo can you add debug: true in Sentry.init({debug: true}) and see if any errors come up in the logs?
sleek igloo
Yes, I tried, there were no errors. Do I need to add the replay integration in sentry.client.ts?
I guess that will start the session immediately. But I want to start the session based on the query params. Should I add the integration later on with an if check?

@sleek igloo you can set sample rates to 0, call startBuffering() immediately, then whenever you want to capture a session, you can call flush() -- though I'm not sure why your current setup is not capturing
