Fatal errors don't upload custom attachments

[dark nest]

Hey! I'm trying to upload the full player log whenever my game crashes (Unity SDK)

    SentrySdk.ConfigureScope(scope =>
    {
        string logFilePath = Path.Combine(
            #if UNITY_EDITOR
            Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) + "/Unity/Editor/Editor.log"
            #else
            Application.persistentDataPath + "/../Player.log"
            #endif
        );

        if (File.Exists(logFilePath)) {
            scope.AddAttachment(logFilePath);
        }
    });

I have this running on start, and I can see the log being attached if the error isn't fatal, but if it is, all I get is a ApplicationNotRespondingException with no log attached.

Is there a better way to do this, or am I missing something?
Let me know, thanks!

crash capture doesnt seem to work at all with sentry.

they don't have an official sample for crash reporting either

or maybe it used to work, but not with 6000+

Hey @dark nest, the SDK is currently limited in how it can sync things on the scope between layers. Attachments being one of those things, where the SDK would need to know before getting initialized, where those attachments would be.
Buuut: With the recent changes and the release from two days ago that technical limitation is gone. So after pulling that update we're going to need to extend the scope sync and this will work! I'm tracking this here

Well that is.. not good. Can you share what's not working for you? On what platforms? CI is running smoke tests against versions up to 6.0 and I'm using 6.1 locally. So far I don't seem to run into issues.

hey! thanks for the reply, i updated the sentry to the new version but my setup still doesn't work, heres the script im using, in a new unity project, just assigning CrashWait() to a ui button has the crash registered in sentry, but it doesn't attach the log, using the test error function (also assigned to a button) does attach the log though, so only the crash doesn't get the log attached

is it crashing through a stack overflow? I'm not sure those exceptions can be caught, right? try calling SentrySdk.CauseCrash and use one of the native ones (C# exceptions won't crash in Unity as I'm sure u know). Also, what platform are you testing? I don't think we sync down attachments from C# to native SDKs, and sentry-native only got support for attachments (after init) on the latest release shipped this week, so we'd tillneed to add support

[dark nest]

ahh okok I'll try with CauseCrash

[dark nest]

causecrash is throwing errors and uploading the player log fine with my setup but its not crashing so I'm not 100% sure that this is going to work if the game does actually crash

is cause crash obselete, do you guys have a different way of testing crashes?

actually looks like Utils.ForceCrash seems to work okay

logs are attaching too!

is there a way to make it so that logs are only attached when the error is fatal?

trying this, scope.Level is returning null

might not be understanding how this is working fully though

[silent willow]

I think we're misaligning here in terms of expectations:

• Crashes in C# (i.e. SentrySdk.CauseCrash(CrashType.Managed) have the log attached since it's the C# layer that is sending the report.
• Crashes outside of C# (i.e. actual C/C++/native crashes) are missing those attachments since they are not yet getting synched to the supporting native SDKs. For this to work we'll need to update the SDK. See feature request here

[dark nest]

gotcha, I think I'm all good on getting the logs I need when the game crashes, maybe i should open another question forum but is there a way to only attach the log if the scope level is fatal?

[dark nest]

this setup has scope.level return null

[dark nest]

and actually sorry, one more question, does this mean that crashes that come from the burst compiler aren't supported?

[silent willow]

The Unity SDK is like a swiss army knive and brings multiple other SDKs depending on what platform you run on. We've got some docs on how this works here
We've got updating the SDK to share attachments across these pretty high on the Todo to be added. It should not take us too long for this to work

hey im trying to achieve a similar thing to tsitski with Unreal Engine but seems i also can't get any custom attachments to work.

On the very latest sentry-unreal plugin (0.22.0) for UE5.5 but it looks like all of the attachment uploading api stuff is just a fake out and the calls to add attachments don't go anywhere

the latest sdk version is 1.0.0-beta.4, were passed the experimental 0.x train aiming for 1.0.0 release soon: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unreal/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta.4
