Curious, the status_code always 500?

Almost! There are some special cases where a user can raise an exception to return a specific HTTP error. I've re-implemented it in a much better way that doesn't assume status code.

Just curious, what are your thoughts on the behavior of record_exception? Should an event be added to the span for exceptions in this case?

Wasn't this behavior already implemented here? How does moving the logic to process_response change anything?

It was but because we popped the activation key, process_response did not do anything. We recorded the exception but ignored the response meaning response code or metrics were not recorded for example. We could either duplicate the code here, take it out in a function and call from both places or just make the exception available to process_response so it can handle all cases.

Right makes sense. Doesn't add_response_attributes already handle setting the status and http.status_code though?

Right, it does but without this change it was never executed in case of an exception so status_code (and other response attrs) were never set in case of an exception.

Yes, IMO this should definitely record an event to log the exception.

Yeah, i'll bring it up during the SIG meeting. Might be more complicated than it seems.
