Description
Resolves #8573
The Helidon
OpenTelemetryTracer
classextract
method (which creates aSpanContext
from headers) incorrectly returned a no-opSpanContext
if there was no current span, rather than the documentedOptional.empty()
.This PR fixes that by trying to construct an OTel
Span
first from the context, and only if that yields a span go ahead and return the span context.The PR also adds a test for this and fixes an earlier test that did not supply enough headers for OTel to fully constitute a valid span.
