Sentry can't instument express if it is bundled

[heddendorp]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/node

SDK Version

8.48.0

Framework Version

Express 4.21.2

Link to Sentry event

No response

Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

No response

Steps to Reproduce

Use sentry for node in an angular ssr appllication that is based on express.

Expected Result

Sentry can instrument express

Actual Result

Sentry comlains that express is not instrumented even through the instrument file was preloaded with --import.

My guess is that since angular bundles express into the server, sentry misses out on the import that it tries to wrap, leading to it not instrumenting express. I would be thankful for some ideas on how this could be improved.
Also if it is just adding a bunch of middlewares and such

Hello, thanks for writing in! In order to know what exactly is the issue here we would need some more context about your project. Can you please share a small reproduction example and share how you set up Sentry like with your Sentry.init.

The example would be https://github.com/evorto-app/app
But my guess is that this would also happen on a freshly generated angular application with ssr.
I can look into setting that up as well if this is not sufficient reference.
The relevant line is probably
https://github.com/evorto-app/app/blob/2dea0a4358d7d2a33562d1803e5f076688152560/Dockerfile#L29

Thanks for providing the example!

We might just need docs for this as we have an open issue for this (putting it here for reference): getsentry/sentry-docs#10416
