Add support for new Crash Analytics feature #88

Open tsteur opened 1 year ago

tsteur commented 1 year ago

To support Matomo's new Crash Analytics feature, we'd like to add crash tracking methods in all supported tracking SDKs.

The tracking methods should be similar to the PHP SDK's methods:

public function trackPhpThrowable(\Throwable $ex, $category = false); // deduces as much information as possible

public function trackCrash($message, $type, $category, $stack, $location, $line, $column); // user supplies all information

trackCrash() passes its parameters as the following HTTP API parameters:

IMPORTANT It must also pass ca=1 (stands for 'custom action') as a parameter so if the plugin is deactivated in Matomo, nothing will be tracked.

trackPhpThrowable (or the equivalent method for the language of this SDK) should accept an exception object and deduce set the crash tracking parameters based on it. The type should be set to the exception class name or something similar.

See also the implementation in the PHP tracker:
