Do you want me to fetch the exact peerDependencies/package.json for @sentry/vite-plugin v4.7.0 (to confirm which Vite versions it supports)?

Summary — how to configure the plugin's release options when using @sentry/vite-plugin with electron-vite

Key facts

  • @sentry/vite-plugin exposes a release option object with most-used fields: name (or SENTRY_RELEASE env var), inject, create, finalize, dist, vcsRemote, setCommits, deploy, cleanArtifacts, etc. Use release.name to force a specific release identifier. [1][2]
  • For Electron (electron-vite) you normally build separate targets (main, preload, renderer). Use the Sentry plugin in each Vite config (renderer and, if you upload main sourcemaps, main/preload) and ensure all builds use the same release name so Sentry groups errors correctly. [3][1]

Minimal example (electron.vite.config.ts)

  • ensure sourcemaps are enabled for the builds that upload maps
  • set a shared release.name (or export SENTRY_RELEASE in CI)
  • put sentryVitePlugin in the appropriate build plugin array

Example snippet:

import { defineConfig } from 'electron-vite'
import { sentryVitePlugin } from '@sentry/vite-plugin'

export default defineConfig({
main: {
build: { sourcemap: true },
plugins: [
sentryVitePlugin({
org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
sourcemaps: { include: './out/main' }, // adjust paths as needed
release: {
name: process.env.SENTRY_RELEASE || 'my-app@' + process.env.npm_package_version,
inject: true, // inject release into bundles (recommended)
create: true, // create release on Sentry during build
finalize: true,
dist: process.env.BUILD_NUMBER,
setCommits: { auto: true },
},
}),
],
},
renderer: {
build: { sourcemap: true },
plugins: [
sentryVitePlugin({
/* same org/project/authToken */
release: { name: process.env.SENTRY_RELEASE || 'my-app@' + process.env.npm_package_version, inject: true },
}),
],
},
})

Practical tips

  • Prefer setting SENTRY_RELEASE in CI (same value for main + renderer bundles). The plugin will fall back to auto-detect (git SHA) if name is not provided. [1][2]
  • Ensure sourcemap generation is enabled for the builds you want to upload. [2]
  • If you upload native electron artifacts (e.g., main process), consider uploading those maps/artifacts from the main/build output and set include paths accordingly. [1][3]

Sources

  • @sentry/vite-plugin options (release.* docs). [1]
  • Sentry docs: Vite sourcemaps / release guidance. [2]
  • electron-vite config / multi-target build guidance (where to add the plugin for main/preload/renderer). [3]

🌐 Web query:

@sentry/vite-plugin 4.7.0 peerDependencies Vite version support

💡 Result:

Short answer: @sentry/vite-plugin v4.7.0 supports Vite v4 and v5. See Sentry's Vite docs and the bundler-plugins repo/issues showing usage and compatibility with Vite 4/5. [1][2]

Sources:

  • Sentry docs — Vite sourcemaps / Sentry Vite plugin. [1]
  • getsentry/sentry-javascript-bundler-plugins (package / issues referencing Vite 4 and Vite 5). [2]

🌐 Web query:

@sentry/vite-plugin electron-vite 4.0 compatibility

💡 Result:

Short answer: generally yes — @sentry/vite-plugin can be used with electron-vite, but you must match versions and watch a few caveats.

Details and recommendations:

  • @sentry/vite-plugin targets Vite builds and the official docs show using it in Vite projects for sourcemap/release upload — use the latest @sentry/vite-plugin and enable sourcemaps in your Vite build. [1][2]
  • electron-vite is a Vite-based tool (requires recent Vite — electron-vite docs show Vite 5+ for current releases), so compatibility depends on the Vite version electron-vite uses in your project. Ensure your @sentry/vite-plugin supports that Vite major version. [3]
  • There are community-reported build issues when newer @sentry/vite-plugin versions interact with some Vite setups/plugins (errors uploading/failing builds). Test your full electron-vite build (main/preload/renderer) and adjust sentry plugin config (assets/sourcemap paths, placement after other plugins) if you hit problems. See related issues for troubleshooting. [4]

If you want, tell me your electron-vite version, Vite version, and the @sentry/vite-plugin version you plan to use and I’ll give precise compatibility guidance and a minimal working config.

@sentry/vite-plugin v4.7.0 does not support Vite 7.x — it only supports Vite 4 and 5. If this project uses Vite 7, upgrade to a newer version of @sentry/vite-plugin (v4.8.0+) that supports Vite 7. The release option is fully supported with your configuration.

In `@apps/desktop/package.json` at line 134, The package dependency
"@sentry/vite-plugin" in package.json is pinned to "^4.7.0" which doesn't
support Vite 7; update the dependency entry for "@sentry/vite-plugin" to a
version that supports Vite 7 (e.g., "^4.8.0" or later), then reinstall/update
the lockfile so the new version is applied and run your normal build to verify
no regressions; check the package.json entry and the lockfile after updating to
ensure the new version was resolved.
