SvelteKit auto-instrumentation causes faulty JSX error

[kenkunz]

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) as well as self-hosted (same issue occurs in both environments).

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/sveltekit

SDK Version

7.74.1

Framework Version

1.26.0

Link to Sentry event

https://zenthropic.sentry.io/issues/4559398012/?project=4504934292258816

SDK Setup

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://3365729f7ba44228b319f4ad7ae32e6a@o4504934289506304.ingest.sentry.io/4504934292258816',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

Steps to Reproduce

I created a new minimum SvelteKit repro with Sentry to demonstrate this bug.

1. Create new SvelteKit project

   npm create svelte@latest sentry-repro
   # - Skeleton project
   # - Yes, using TypeScript syntax
   # - skip other add-ons
   
   cd sentry-repro
   npm i

2. Add Sentry using setup wizard

   npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i sveltekit
   # - Sentry SaaS
   # - yes
   # - select project

3. Add a src/routes/+page.ts file with a TypeScript <> cast operator

   export async function load() {
     let x: unknown = 'foo';
     console.log(<string>x);
   }

4. Start dev server and open the page

   npm run dev
   # http://localhost:5173/

5. Note the error:

   Internal server error: Unterminated JSX contents. (3:22)
   

6. Modify vite.config.ts to disable auto-instrumentation:

   // add sentrySvelteKit config option
   autoInstrument: false

7. Note that the error goes away / page serves as expected

Expected Result

No error should occur at step 5.

Auto-instrumentation should not (incorrectly) interpret TypeScript cast operator <> as JSX.

Current work-around: using as cast operator instead of <>.

Actual Result

The following error occurs at step 5.

Unterminated JSX contents. (3:22)

Hi, @kenkunz thanks for reporting this! Do you mind explaining what you mean by

TypeScript <> cast operator
console.log(<string>x);

it's the first time I've ever heard of this. The newest TS version doesn't compile here either: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/MYewdgziA2CmB00QHMAUAeCAXATgSzGQD4APASgG4AoIA

Are you sure this is valid syntax?

Hi @lforst – thanks for looking into this.

Are you sure this is valid syntax?

Here's the documentation on Type Assertions from the official Typescript docs:
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/everyday-types.html#type-assertions

You can also use the angle-bracket syntax (except if the code is in a .tsx file), which is equivalent:

const myCanvas = <HTMLCanvasElement>document.getElementById("main_canvas");

Ah. TIL I guess we need to turn off JSX for the parser then!

cc @Lms24 I don't see any immediate option to do this in magicast, maybe we need to pass in a custom parser?

@Lms24 side note – I just saw your Svienna talk on the state of Sentry for Svelte (via Svelte Society YouTube channel)… nice overview… gut getan!
