Description
I'm switching from raven-js to @sentry/browser.
In raven-js I could do
Raven.captureMessage('whatever', {
stacktrace: true, level: 'warning', extra: extra_info
})
However with @sentry/browser captureMessage only takes a level argument. To add extra I can use
Sentry.captureEvent({
message: 'whatever',
level: 'warning',
extra: extra_info
})
(which is arguably uglier), but the real problem is that there's no way to add stacktrace: true, instead the stacktrace argument requires an actual stack trace. I tried settings stacktrace: true but I got "Discarded invalid value for parameter 'stacktrace'".
It doesn't seem to be possible to log a message with a stack using @sentry/browser.

There is an option called
attachStacktraceforinitsee: https://docs.sentry.io/learn/configuration/?platform=browser#attach-stacktraceAfter that you call
captureMessageand you will get a stacktrace.samuelcolvin commentedon Oct 22, 2018

While attaching a stack seems simple, it actually adds a overhead to performance and payload.
In regards to capturing any extra data with an event, you can do it either by using
configureScopeorwithScopesee: https://docs.sentry.io/learn/scopes/?platform=browserAlso if this seems not to be enough you can write your own integration.

Thanks for the response, I'll close this however IMHO it still seems like a step back from the raven-js interface.

This issue appears at the top of a Google search for sentry capturemessage stacktrace.
Since the reference link is Page Not Found, the latest attachStackTrace link is included.

Not ideal as this doesn't let you include for just some messages, and the overhead involved means it's likely undesirable to enable it for all messages.

If you only want it for specific messages, I'd suggest to just use
Sentry.captureException(new Error('my message with stack'), { level: 'info' }), or something along these lines.
