What version of Node are you using?

❯ node -v
v20.11.1

What did you do?

I created a repo to reference this issue.

In otel.ts I have sqsExtractContextPropagationFromPayload: true under AwsInstrumentation. I have 2 endpoints /send which sends a message to SQS and another endpoint /receive which pulls message from SQS and makes a http call before deleting the message from queue.

I assume since its extracting traceParent from MessageAttributes while receiving message it should set that as parent trace and add any spans to it (in /receive)? However, I see no updates to /send trace (had 3 spans after sending a message to sqs and it didn't update after calling /receive)?

I see a link on /receive trace to /send trace but I see that regardless of sqsExtractContextPropagationFromPayload being true or false. (see image #3).

Jaeger Main Page:

/send Trace Details

/receive Trace Details

What did you expect to see?

Spans to be added to original trace i.e. /send but I don't see any spans being added to send trace after calling receive.

What did you see instead?

see my details above.
