Description

Describe your issue in detail, ideally, you have a reproducible demo that you can show.

I can't understand why the following code:

const main = async () => {
    Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
        message: 'first'
    })

    Sentry.captureException(new Error('err1'))

    Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
        message: 'second'
    })

    Sentry.captureException(new Error('err2'))

    Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
        message: 'third'
    })

    Sentry.captureException(new Error('err3'))
}

main()

produces 3 exceptions with all three breadcrumbs. I'd expect:

• Error err1 to have the breadcrumb 'first'
• Error err2 to have the breadcrumb 'first' and 'second'
• Error err3 to have the breadcrumb 'first', 'second' and 'third'.

I believe this is a bug, because I can achieve my desired behaviour using captureMessage.

const main = async () => {
    Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
        message: 'first'
    })

    Sentry.captureMessage(new Error('err1'))

    Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
        message: 'second'
    })

    Sentry.captureMessage(new Error('err2'))

    Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
        message: 'third'
    })

    Sentry.captureMessage(new Error('err3'))
}

main()

Here the captured messages have the proper breadcrumbs that I want. In fact, I'd go with captureMessage, but with it I loose stack traces, and it's less semantic. So what's up with captureException? Am I missing something? The docs don't explain this behaviour.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!
