iOS scripts respect cli.executable when custom value given

[marandaneto]

reason: #1857 (comment)

The fix is probably under https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-wizard/blob/master/lib/Steps/Integrations/ReactNative.ts#L248

Sorry to bother you again with this, but is there an ETA on implementing this? Might help giving some Sentry and Expo/EAS users some context 😄

[marandaneto]

@byCedric no worries, unfortunately, we don't have an ETA since we are still prioritizing all the open issues, closing old ones, etc... hoping to work on that soon tho.
would you like to submit a PR and patch the shell script on sentry-wizard?

pretty much what needs to be done is:

read cli.executable from the exported sentry.properties, and if not found, keep the hardcoded value, ../node_modules/@sentry/cli/bin/sentry-cli

we should do it just before https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-wizard/blob/master/lib/Steps/Integrations/ReactNative.ts#L248 and replace the hardcoded sentry-cli path with the variable that reads from cli.executable or fallback to the hardcoded one.

ideally the integration could also try to find the correct folder, its done on Android #1917

Is there any update on this? It would be really helpful

Hi @ayush-goyal,
we currently don't have any plans for this, but we have a way to specify Sentry CLI executable in React Native iOS builds.

You can use SENTRY_CLI_EXECUTABLE environmental variabled.

export SENTRY_CLI_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/the/sentry/cli/bin

Make sure you are using the latest version of the Sentry Build Phases for this variable to be working.
See the latest config at https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/manual-setup/manual-setup/#configure-automatic-source-maps-upload

For the future reference the current latest Bundle React Native build phase should look like this.

set -e

WITH_ENVIRONMENT="../node_modules/react-native/scripts/xcode/with-environment.sh"
REACT_NATIVE_XCODE="../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh"
SENTRY_XCODE="../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/sentry-xcode.sh"
BUNDLE_REACT_NATIVE="/bin/sh $SENTRY_XCODE $REACT_NATIVE_XCODE"

/bin/sh -c "$WITH_ENVIRONMENT '$BUNDLE_REACT_NATIVE'"

And Upload Debug Files to Sentry like this:

/bin/sh ../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/sentry-xcode-debug-files.sh

If you are an Expo user make sure you are using @sentry/[email protected] or newer and the SENTRY_CLI_EXECUTABLE will work as well.
