quietMode does not silence git repository check

[grossadamm]

Environment

❯ npx @sentry/wizard --version
3.16.1

Quiet mode On, DAMA, don't ask me anything
Running Sentry Wizard...
version: 3.16.1 | sentry-cli version: 1.75.2
Sentry Wizard will help you to configure your project
Thank you for using Sentry :)

Steps to Reproduce

npx @sentry/wizard --quiet --skip-connect -i reactNative -p ios --disable-telemetry

Expected Result

Sentry wizard will not warn about git repository

Actual Result

A wild prompt appears blocking any continuous integration attempts

 You are not inside a git repository. The wizard will create and update files. Do you want to continue anyway?
  ● Yes / ○ No

Looks like this is by design and that the docs were not updated

[grossadamm]

@krystofwoldrich Is there a way to run this without prompts now, or are CI use cases now unsupported?

[grossadamm]

npx @sentry/[email protected]

works as a workaround, but I'm curious about the long-term viability of the approach I'm using.

Hi @grossadamm thanks for writing in!

Looks like this is by design and that the docs were not updated

Oof good catch! We should have made this a major release and updated docs accordingly. Definitely something to improve on our end. Sorry about that!

or are CI use cases now unsupported?

Would you mind telling us a bit about your CI use case?

I was actually considering removing the quiet options generally as we don't support them in most of our other wizards either (which is a kinda shitty status quo anyway). To me, running a wizard/scaffolding tool was always a local matter but I'm curious to hearing your use case.

[grossadamm]

Sure! I use expo but do not love how expo sentry lags behind in versions and do not love how they setup sentry in general. There is a hook they provide that can execute a script AFTER expo separates the code into a normal react native structure.

I run the wizard at that step in quiet mode to patch everything just like a normal sentry react native installation and it all works great. If quiet mode goes away, my ability to use sentry will then rely on expo’s plugin which is suboptimal.

I could patch everything manually, but by using the wizard, I automatically pickup any improvements you all make to the patch and install process.

Hi @grossadamm,
I'm sorry about the current inconvenience, we are aware of the sentry-expo experience and are in the process of moving all expo-related functionality into our main repository.

You can follow the process here:

• sentry-expo deprecations plans sentry-react-native#3262

We are not settled on details of how the expo project will be patched yet, but there will be an out-of-the-box working solution that will ensure a correct patch is applied.

[grossadamm]

Copy, so your suggestion is for me to remain pinned at an older version that supports quiet mode until the sentry-expo work is migrated?

[krystofwoldrich]

@grossadamm Yes, that would be the best, thank you for understanding.

[grossadamm]

No worries @krystofwoldrich, thank you for the quick and kind explanations.

[krystofwoldrich]

I'll close this, as the mentioned use case will be resolved by the sentry-expo deprecation and if we decide to add --quite to all the wizards we can create a new feature request issue.
