Problem Statement

I want to enable Sentry only in production builds
In other Sentry SDKs there is an enabled option

It's a workaround but you can do this for now

await SentryFlutter.init((options) {
  options.beforeSend = (event, hint) async {
    if (kDebugMode) {
        return null;
    }
    return event;
  };
});

Let's see if we can do this more cleanly and easier

[buenaflor]

which enable option do you refer to in other SDKs?

[danilofuchs]

In JS SDK there's an enabled flag:

Gotcha, I will discuss this internally

What exactly are you trying to accomplish / expecting, just not send the event in debug builds?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish / expecting, just not send the event in debug builds?

Exactly! When developing, I will inevitably develop some runtime errors, and I don't want Sentry to be populated with these events, as they can become noise when debugging actual production issues.

For instance, we are notified in Slack for each new issue.

In that case I'd use the snippet that I posted above with beforeSend which will achieve exactly what you're trying to do.

We don't have the enabled option in other mobile sdks as well and I want to keep the feature set similar. So I don't think we should add this option now.

Only setting the DSN in production should do the trick?

[buenaflor]

either setting dsn in prod or using beforeSend, both work - whatever you prefer

if you want to minimize the overhead in general you could conditionally use SentryFlutter.init only on prod
