NextJS Pages API Route traces are not continued from incoming trace #14787

Description

@Lms24

Is there an existing issue for this?

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/nextjs

SDK Version

8.46.0

Framework Version

NextJS 15.1.1

Link to Sentry event

N/A

Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

Clone my repro: https://github.com/Lms24/nextjs-trace-envelope-header

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce:

  1. npm install
  2. npm run build && npm run start
  3. sh req.sh

Observe that trace_id, sample_rate and transaction fields (+others) are not continued from incoming trace (see req.sh). Meaning, it seems like the NextJS SDK starts a new trace for the server-side instead of continuing the passed trace via the headers.

Expected Result

  • The SDK continues the incoming trace, freezes the DSC values passed in via baggage
  • When sending its transaction event, the SDK puts the frozen DSC values into the trace envelope header and sends the continued trace data in event.context.trace

Actual Result

  • The SDK doesn't continue the incoming trace but seems to start a new trace
  • When sending its transaction event, SDK populates the DSC from the new trace and sends the new trace

Additional information

The logs suggest that there might be 2 ongoing root spans which possibly(?) conflict with each other?

          NextJS Pages API Route traces are not continued from incoming trace #14787

          Description

          @Lms24

          Is there an existing issue for this?

          How do you use Sentry?

          Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

          Which SDK are you using?

          @sentry/nextjs

          SDK Version

          8.46.0

          Framework Version

          NextJS 15.1.1

          Link to Sentry event

          N/A

          Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

          Clone my repro: https://github.com/Lms24/nextjs-trace-envelope-header

          Steps to Reproduce

          To reproduce:

          1. npm install
          2. npm run build && npm run start
          3. sh req.sh

          Observe that trace_id, sample_rate and transaction fields (+others) are not continued from incoming trace (see req.sh). Meaning, it seems like the NextJS SDK starts a new trace for the server-side instead of continuing the passed trace via the headers.

          Expected Result

          • The SDK continues the incoming trace, freezes the DSC values passed in via baggage
          • When sending its transaction event, the SDK puts the frozen DSC values into the trace envelope header and sends the continued trace data in event.context.trace

          Actual Result

          • The SDK doesn't continue the incoming trace but seems to start a new trace
          • When sending its transaction event, SDK populates the DSC from the new trace and sends the new trace

          Additional information

          The logs suggest that there might be 2 ongoing root spans which possibly(?) conflict with each other?

                NextJS Pages API Route traces are not continued from incoming trace #14787

                Description

                @Lms24

                Is there an existing issue for this?

                How do you use Sentry?

                Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

                Which SDK are you using?

                @sentry/nextjs

                SDK Version

                8.46.0

                Framework Version

                NextJS 15.1.1

                Link to Sentry event

                N/A

                Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

                Clone my repro: https://github.com/Lms24/nextjs-trace-envelope-header

                Steps to Reproduce

                To reproduce:

                1. npm install
                2. npm run build && npm run start
                3. sh req.sh

                Observe that trace_id, sample_rate and transaction fields (+others) are not continued from incoming trace (see req.sh). Meaning, it seems like the NextJS SDK starts a new trace for the server-side instead of continuing the passed trace via the headers.

                Expected Result

                • The SDK continues the incoming trace, freezes the DSC values passed in via baggage
                • When sending its transaction event, the SDK puts the frozen DSC values into the trace envelope header and sends the continued trace data in event.context.trace

                Actual Result

                • The SDK doesn't continue the incoming trace but seems to start a new trace
                • When sending its transaction event, SDK populates the DSC from the new trace and sends the new trace

                Additional information

                The logs suggest that there might be 2 ongoing root spans which possibly(?) conflict with each other?
