@sentry/node v5.30.0 documentation

[tlowande]

I have some legacy code but I can't find the documentation of previous versions for @sentry/node. I'm looking for v5.30.0 documentation on the captureEvent() method - need to check the params it accepts. Halp?

Hey @tlowande, unfortunately, the only way you can do it is to traverse our git history and check. Try this here

sentry-javascript/packages/core/src/baseclient.ts

Lines 131 to 149 in af092e3

	/**
	* @inheritDoc
	*/
	public captureEvent(event: Event, hint?: EventHint, scope?: Scope): string | undefined {
	let eventId: string | undefined = hint && hint.event_id;
	this._processing = true;
	this._processEvent(event, hint, scope)
	.then(finalEvent => {
	// We need to check for finalEvent in case beforeSend returned null
	eventId = finalEvent && finalEvent.event_id;
	this._processing = false;
	})
	.catch(reason => {
	logger.error(reason);
	this._processing = false;
	});
	return eventId;
	}

May I ask, what is stopping you from upgrading Sentry?
I am asking because we are about to release v7 next week and we are doing all we can to make the migration from lower versions easy and smooth for users of Sentry.

Thank you @vladanpaunovic it does answer my question. I was mainly wondering if I had not thoroughly looked up documentation properly.

We planning some updates indeed, but so far it's all legacy code - the reason why I was looking for this doc. But now this is one more reason to upgrade 🎉
