Get current state of context from SDK for testing

[cameronmcefee]

Howdy 🤠 . Is it possible to get the current state of Sentry's context/tags/user so I can check it in my tests? I want to verify the actual stored data rather than spying on the various setters to check if they were called, since there are multiple ways things might get set. Thanks!

Hey @cameronmcefee , of course. All you need to do is to access the current scope. Here is how to do that:

import * as Sentry from "@sentry/browser" // or any other package you are using

const scope = Sentry.getCurrentHub().getScope();

console.log(scope)

This will output something like this:

{
  _attachments:(0) []
  _breadcrumbs:(6) [{…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}, {…}]
  _contexts:{}
  _eventProcessors:(2) [ƒ, ƒ]
  _extra:{}
  _fingerprint:undefined
  _level:undefined
  _notifyingListeners:false
  _requestSession:undefined
  _scopeListeners:(0) []
  _sdkProcessingMetadata:{}
  _session:undefined
  _span:Transaction {traceId: '7850459a2da940a6acaacef00f4f7e84', spanId: 'bcd1a108e5c04863', startTimestamp: 1653478082.6666598, tags: {…}, data: {…}, …}
  _tags:{runtime: 'node'}
  _transactionName:undefined
  _user:{}
}

Ah thanks @vladanpaunovic. I was busy looking at the methods on the scope and didn't consider looking at the scope itself.
