sentry-capacitor: TS2451: Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable

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)

Which package are you using?

Framework Version

Angular 13.3.11 & Ionic 6.3.2

Link to Sentry event

No response

Steps to Reproduce

Node.js v16.10.x

Typescript 4.5.x

Currently we are using the following versions of Sentry package: “@sentry/angular”: “^6.19.7”, “@sentry/capacitor”: “^0.6.1”, “@sentry/tracing”: “^6.19.7”

After trying to bump all packages to latest i.e.: “@sentry/angular”: “^7.16.0”, “@sentry/capacitor”: “^0.10.1”, “@sentry/tracing”: “^7.16.0”

Expected Result

No error

Actual Result

I receive the following error:

Error: node_modules/@sentry/types/types/globals.d.ts:2:11 - error TS2451: Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable '__DEBUG_BUILD__'.

To fix this you must use a fixed sibling version of angular and tracing

"@sentry/angular": "7.13.0",
"@sentry/capacitor": "0.10.1",
"@sentry/tracing": "7.13.0"

Additionally, at the moment the SDK is compatible with version 7.13.0.

Hopefully this situation will get clearer on the next versions of Sentry Capacitor

To fix this right now all versions of the sentry packages should be aligned. So if you’re on 7.13.0 you need @sentry/types to be on 7.31.0.

Thanks Luca! I’ll test it on nuget trends the weekend

@lucas-zimerman @bruno-garcia We fixed this upstream in the latest JS SDK release so once we update everything this error should be gone for good.

@bruno-garcia We can fix this upstream. I’ll start working on it today!

@chutzemischt I think the problem is that support for Angular 16 comes only with 7.51.0.

Getting same/similar build error on a Ionic 6 / Angular 16 / Capacitor 4 project. Trying to move from @sentry/angular to @sentry/angular-ivy. Dependencies used: “@sentry/angular-ivy”: “^7.51.2” “@sentry/capacitor”: “^0.11.3”

Just to let you know, fixing the versions as specified above does work - thank you @lucas-zimerman.

I am backlogging this for the JS SDK team because I’d like to fix this more sustainably. Right now we’re polluting the global typescript namespace with the JS SDK.

Here is the origin of the problem: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/5155#discussion_r885655812 (Note to self: What looks fishy, probably is)

By the way, what if when updating the Sentry packages you would get a message like this

This version of Sentry Capacitor is incompatible with the following installed packages:
@sentry/angular version 7.13.0
@sentry/vue version 7.13.0
Please install the mentioned packages with exactly with version 7.15.0 using the below command.
yarn add --exact @sentry/angular@7.15.0 @sentry/vue@7.15.0

Would that be a convenient way of telling you what to do in order to update those packages? (also a similar message if you were using npm for package management)

Ideally it should work out of the box, but unfortunately, it’s how the SDK behaves when there’s a duplicated sibling package.
