Steps to Reproduce

• Trigger console.log() statements in the client.
• Check the session replay for recorded console logs.

Expected Result

console.log() statements should be visible in the session replay.

Actual Result

No console.log() statements are visible, although errors are correctly reported.

Hey,

we have tests specifically ensuring that this works 🤔 do you have a link to a replay where this happens? Could you try with debug: true enabled, would be interesting to see where the logs go in terms of timeline.

@mydea do we have any size limits on console logs? The log message seems to be quite big.

For the error, it looks like it's an uncaught rejection which is capture as an exception to Sentry. We do not display these in the Console tab of Replay unless it was explicitly called with console.error().

Do you mean it doesn't record console.log() but only console.error()?

We truncate logs when we add them as breadcrumbs to replay - we have specifically a test for this 😅 https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/develop/dev-packages/browser-integration-tests/suites/replay/captureConsoleLog/test.ts#L59

@Hugo-Dz no, we capture both, I was more remarking that the Error message you see in the console is not called with console.error and so it's expected that you won't see it in the Replay's Console tab (this is because it's captured as an exception and displayed in Breadcrumbs).

Can you give us a repro for this? Or a publicly accessible URL where we can debug?

@billyvg For some reasons, logs now shows up in my Replays, not sure why it was not the case before 🤔

You can close this :)
